NY - UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot in Midtown. #9 *Arrest*

[CrimeDawg123]

I think he will be kept in solitary confinement

1) Many prisoners have kids and will be angry at the thought of 2 kids being left without a dad, they have made bad life choices ending up in jail but protective of their kids

2) He is a national celeb now, one of most high profile prisoners in the country, that makes a very big target on his back for a prisoner after a bit of fame/notoriety

He gets a jail sentence he will not mix with the other prisoners imho

Maybe initially but long-term he'll be in general population I bet. The hoopla about this case will die down and he'll be just another murderer in prison.

 

[IDK]

He definitely has Spondylolisthesis - the vertebral ‘step’ is clearly (and one does not try and fix that with surgery)

Is spondylolisthesis the same thing as “slipped disc”? That’s the term I have heard before.

 

[Synergizer Bunny]

Nothing in his statements or online activity leans left-wing.
He was a fan of Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk.

Brian was based in Minnesota and is complimentary of Tim Walz. Here is a post complimenting Walz and announcing that UHC was sponsoring the 2026 Special Olympics. Brian Thompson on LinkedIn: It was an honor to join Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and others to share… | 19 comments

I feel certain LM researched all aspects of BT's life. Could be wrong.

JMO.

And Peter Thiel

No

I have been trying to find the original source of the bullet casing writing.
Media has been reporting that three casings were found and all three had writing. But they could be parroting misinformation.
I initially saw a media report that only two of the three bullet casings had writing.

Assuming he gets life with a minimum of 30 years to be served I would expect if it anything like UK that he will serve at least 10 of those years in solitary confinement

Exclusive | Luigi Mangione resided in this Honolulu apartment in the months before his arrest

The nearly 1,000-square-foot two-bedroom at 801 South St. has sweeping views of the surrounding mountains.

nypost.com

In the months leading up to the high-profile murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York, accused killer Luigi Mangione was living nearly half the world away — in a high-rise Honolulu, Hawaii apartment, The Post has learned.

The nearly 1,000-square-foot corner unit at 801 South St. features two bedrooms, two bathrooms and sweeping views stretching out to the surrounding mountains. The monthly sum he paid isn’t clear, though several listings portals, such as Zillow and Redfin, estimate it rented for roughly $4,000 per month.

It’s unclear if Mangione, who records show moved into the apartment in February, had a roommate or lived alone.

Interesting - it's strange that he ghosted his Surfbreak friends that were right there in Honolulu. It seemed that they thought he was still on the US mainland, possibly the east coast.

I don't think it's like the UK in that regard. Although this is quite sensational right now, it really won't be down the road. Even then, he has folk hero status which will garner him some friends in prison in the short term.

Mangione is scheduled to appear in court next for a preliminary hearing scheduled for Dec. 23. The court docket says he requested a public defender.

dated 12/8....says not finger printed yet on it too...maybe old info?

Probably a dumb question, but if someone requests a public defender, do they have to pay them?

FOX 5 NY has exclusively learned that police say the person was walking near East 81st and 85th Street when they saw the bag, noticing writing on it that mirrors markings found on shell casings in Midtown the morning of Thompson’s shooting.

Bag of bullets found in Central Park not tied to CEO killing: sources

A person walking their dog in Central Park found a Ziploc bag of bullets in the bushes on Tuesday, but now police no longer believe they're tied to the UnitedHealthcare CEO's murder, according to sources.

Thanks for linking this.

I wanted to know more about it.
Evidence is piling up.

This sounds like he had already cashed in the inheritance from his grandparents.

This may not matter, but they are a little misleading, Those mountains are nowhere near his apartment; he lived in Surf Break first, which is above the Ala Moana shopping centre near Waikiki, and the apartment he moved to is a few blocks away, and no mountains there either.
So misleading. I'm sure they have sweeping views, but it's moving closer to downtown Honolulu. It's not as glamorous as they're making it sound, why do that, tho?

Not dumb at all.

If someone cannot afford an attorney, one is provided.
