Luigi Mangione’s Manifesto Could Shake Up Terror Charge, Defense Attorney Says
TMZ.com
Luigi Mangione’s alleged unhinged manifesto might actually work in his favor — at least according to one top defense attorney sounding off on the case.
Defense attorney Katie Cherkasky told us on “TMZ Live” Thursday … there’s no question — Luigi gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in NYC back in December. But the real fight’s over the terrorism charge, and she says Luigi’s own words might be what gets it tossed.
Katie says Luigi’s own words lay it out — in his chilling blueprint, he wasn’t out to spark mass panic or hurt anyone else … he had one target, and one target only.
If that argument lands in court, the defense could spin this as a personal vendetta, not terrorism — which could negate the charge, or lead to an eventual appeal.
Hit play on our video to hear Katie break it all down — trust, this case isn’t nearly as cut and dry as it seems.
Mangione’s currently locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn … with his next court date set for June 26. He’s charged with first-degree murder and has pleaded not guilty — a federal trial’s expected in 2026.
