Luigi Mangione’s diary reveals the motive for killing CEO

Video Description

Diary entries written by Luigi Mangione reveal the now 27-year-old’s detailed thinking before the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year, a new court filing shows. A red notebook was recovered by police at the time of his December 9 arrest at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania. In diary writings contained in that notebook, Mangione vents about his frustrations with the health insurance industry and his intent to carry out an attack. The entries also shed light on Mangione’s focus on the court of public opinion and how he intended to gain widespread support through the alleged killing. The new filing from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is a response to a motion filed last month by Mangione’s defence team seeking to stay or dismiss the New York case against him. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all federal and state charges against him. In August 2024, roughly four months before he allegedly shot and killed Thompson in midtown Manhattan, Mangione wrote in his diary: “I finally feel confident about what I will do. The details are coming together. And I don’t feel any doubt about whether it’s right/justified. I’m glad-in a way-that I’ve procrastinated bc it allowed me to learn more about [UnitedHealthcare].” Subscribe to CP24 to watch more videos: https://www.youtube.com/Cp24TorontoBreakingNews Connect with CP24: For the latest news: https://www.cp24.com/ For the latest videos: https://www.cp24.com/video CP24 Live and Interactive: https://www.cp24.com/now CP24 on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CP24 CP24 on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cp24breakingnews CP24 Breakfast on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CP24Breakfast --- CP24 is Toronto's #1 source for breaking news.
