Luigi Mangione, the individual accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan on December 4 has racked up a considerable sum of donations for his legal fund.

Mangione, 26, is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits trial.

The defendant has received nearly $300,000 in donations, according to a GiveSendGo page created to help him fund his legal defense. The December 4 Legal Committee, the group who set up the fundraising page, announced on Monday that Karen Agnifilo, Mangione’s lawyer, told them he agreed to accept the donations.

"We are excited to announce that we have established contact with Karen Friedman Agnifilo and the rest of Luigi's legal team, who will be accepting your donations. In response to hearing about your 10,000+ individual donations, averaging under $30, Karen stated that Luigi "very much appreciates the outpouring of support." We feel honored to provide supporters with a reliable way to continue contributing to his legal fees through any future donations."

The message further states that “Americans watched the media scramble to demonize [Mangione] as social media comments overflowed with support.” The group argues that “The average American understands who the real culprits are, despite the ghoulish display of power during his perp walk or the out of touch coverage most media pundits offer.”

I did not know the trial has been held and verdict rendered to declare him guilty.

Has he been sentenced yet?
