In the case of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot dead in front of a hotel in the United States, it was revealed that a 26-year-old suspect named Luigi Mangione had a heart-shaped support note placed inside his socks.

According to the note seized by court officials, Mangione, who is in prison, was reportedly conveyed a message stating that “there are thousands of people wishing you good luck.” Additionally, there was another heart-shaped message addressing someone named “Joan.” It is not yet known who wrote the note and how it was placed inside the socks. Prosecutors did not clarify this matter in the file, and no further details were given in subsequent statements. Following the discovery of the notes inside the new socks worn by Mangione in court, he removed them. Seidemann mentioned that the reason Mangione removed his socks was that “he thought they did not look good.”

Mangione appeared in court wearing handcuffs around his ankles, moccasin shoes, and bare ankles. Mangione’s lawyers requested a laptop to be provided to their 26-year-old client in his cell so he could review legal documents while waiting to be tried for the murder of 50-year-old Brian Thompson in December. Prosecutor Joel Seidemann objected to providing the defendant with a laptop, considering it an unfair privilege. The prosecutor stated, “Special treatment in favor of the defendant has been violated by adjustments made for fashion needs in the last hearing.” Mangione, who was apprehended at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, was reportedly found with a weapon and a handwritten three-page document that the police cited as the “motivation” for Thompson’s murder.

Shortly after his arrest, Mangione was charged with murder and four other separate crimes, and he was extradited to New York to appear in court. WHO IS LUIGI MANGIONE?

It was revealed that Mangione, coming from an affluent family in Maryland, graduated first in his prestigious male high school in Baltimore. His father, Nick Mangione, was a successful real estate agent known for Turf Valley Resort, a luxury leisure and conference center he purchased in 1978, outside Baltimore. One of his cousins is Republican Maryland House of Delegates member Nino Mangione. After his arrest, his family released a statement saying, “We only know what we read in the media. Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest. We offer our prayers to Brian Thompson’s family and ask everyone to pray for those involved in the incident.” A classmate from high school, Freddie Leatherbury, told the Associated Press (AP) that “To be honest, everything was going well for him.”

Mangione earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science from the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania. He learned coding there and helped establish a club for people interested in games. After graduating, Mangione worked as a data engineer at the digital retail site TrueCar and interned as a video game developer at Firaxis.
