Summary
Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, spoke publicly from jail for the first time, acknowledging the support he's received amid backlash against the true-crime documentary "Who Is Luigi Mangione?" The film, set to air on February 17, has faced criticism for potentially prejudicing the trial. Large online communities, particularly on Reddit and TikTok, are urging a boycott, arguing the documentary presents an unfair narrative. Mangione's legal defense fund has surpassed $400,000, and while prosecutors maintain strong evidence against him, supporters argue he is misrepresented.
