NEW YORK, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Luigi Mangione, the man accused of gunning down a health insurance executive outside a hotel in Manhattan, is due in federal court on Friday as a judge considers whether key pieces of evidence should be included in the death penalty murder case.
Mangione, 27, is accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a sidewalk in midtown Manhattan. Public officials condemned the shocking assassination, but Mangione became a folk hero of sorts to some Americans who decry steep healthcare costs and insurance practices.
