| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Anya, and today we are going to talk about the high-profile murder of Brian Thompson, |
| 0:05.8 | the CEO of United Healthcare, and the case against Luigi Mangione, the young man accused of murdering him. |
| 0:13.5 | Content warning, this episode contains discussion of violence and murder. |
| 0:19.0 | So this is a case that we have not really touched upon too much on the murder sheet yet. |
| 0:24.1 | Is that fair to say, Kevin? |
