Summary
Arraigned in Pennsylvania for five crimes, Luigi Mangione is charged with Forgery, carrying a gun without a license, falsely identifying himself to law enforcement, tampering with records or identification, and possessing instruments of crime.
Luigi Mangione has a 262-word, handwritten manifesto on him when he was arrested, and in it he mentions a "spiral notebook". CNN is reporting that in the spiral notebook, Mangione was keeping a to-do-list leading up the the murder of CEO Brian Thompson, he is thinking about using a bomb to kill Thompson instead of shooting him in public. Mangione allegedly decides against bombing the building because 'it could kill innocents' and decides to shoot Thompson.
Decked out in a bright orange County department of corrections jumpsuit, Luigi Mangione comes unglued as he struggles with deputies as he gets out of the patrol car screaming toward a group of media gathered to watch him arrive at the courthouse, "it's completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience". Flanked by six deputies, the suspect is then pushed inside the courthouse.
Mangione is shacked at the waist and ankles for his court appearance. At one point, Mangione tries to interject while his attorney Thomas Dickey is arguing for bail, addressing the $8,000 US dollars and $2,000 in foreign currency found with Mangione at his arrest. Dickey turn to his client, instructing, his client, "Don't say a word."
