Summary
Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, is fighting extradition from Pennsylvania to New York.
Arrested Monday with evidence linking him to the crime, Mangione faces multiple charges, including second-degree murder and gun violations.
At his hearing, he shouted accusations of injustice and was denied bail.
