Luigi Mangione says he’s not guilty of slaying Unitedhealthcare CEO Brian Thompson — he entered not guilty pleas Monday morning in New York State court.
Mangione pleaded not guilty to 11 state charges … including first-degree murder, 2nd-degree murder as crime of terrorism and multiple weapons charges.
The 26-year-old Ivy League grad was dressed like a college preppie — a maroon sweater over a white collared shirt and khaki pants — as he stood before the judge with his attorneys Karen and Marc Agnifilo .
Mangione faces the possibility of life in prison without parole if convicted for murdering Thompson last month as he entered the midtown Hilton hotel.
This was Mangione’s 2nd time entering not guilty pleas — he appeared in federal court last week to face charges that could result in him getting the death penalty, if convicted.
As for which trial goes first — officially, the feds and the Manhattan D.A.’s Office are saying the state’s case will take precedence.
