Court update: Mangione鈥檚 plea

The Mangione Trial

Available for over a year

This is the podcast that takes a step back to unpick and understand this story, and we'll also be bringing you news updates. Luigi Mangione enters his pleas to all federal charges over the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mr Thompson, a father of two, was gunned down outside a Manhattan hotel late last year. Mangione faces four federal charges - murder, using a weapon with a silencer, and two counts of stalking. Prosecutors are seeking a death penalty. Jordan Dunbar hears from the 麻豆社鈥檚 New York correspondent Nada Tawfik, who was in the packed Manhattan courtroom to hear Mangione enter his plea. Nada unpacks the important developments in the hearing, and describes the scenes as Mangione supporters gather outside. The Mangione Trial podcast unpicks the conspiracies around Luigi Mangione and considers the facts. The reaction to the murder of Brian Thompson and his suspected killer has been unprecedented. We will look at how such a shocking case set social media alight. If you want to watch this podcast, it is also available on the 麻豆社 World Service YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/p-TntofsVfY
