Luigi Mangione’s defense team is asking the court to livestream his trial, a move that prosecutors say will be used to pressure jurors to find him not guilty.
One of the most bizarre aspects of this entire case is that Mangione has left wing ‘fans’ who believe that even if he did commit cold-blooded murder, that it was justified.
They have tried to make him into some sort of folk hero. It’s disgusting.
This move by the defense is pretty transparent. They actually think he could be found not guilty by a sympathetic jury, or one that is pressured into setting him free.

Luigi Mangione’s livestream stunt aims to get influencers to ‘pressure’ jurors: former prosecutor
Luigi Mangione’s push to livestream his murder trial isn’t about transparency, it’s a stunt designed to pressure jurors, a former federal prosecutor is arguing.
Lawyers for the accused UnitedHealthcare CEO assassin argued in a Friday filing that the media access rules for his state trial are unconstitutional, and said the proceedings should be livestreamed.
Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Mangione’s attorney, said that her team wasn’t consulted on media access for the upcoming September trial, and only became aware of a document titled “Media Access: PSNY v. Mangione” from an independent journalist on X.
Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani, president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, told Fox News Digital he believes Mangione’s attorneys want all trial proceedings to be livestreamed to pressure jurors, noting it’s unusual for defendants to want more publicity.
“The conventional wisdom is that the defense usually doesn’t want high-profile cases broadcast. It can put implicit pressure on jurors to return a guilty verdict,” Rahmani said. “Mangione is probably the most popular accused murderer that I’ve ever covered in the past 25 years. Has a fan base. There’s upwards of 10 to 20 percent of the people who have been surveyed who believe that even if he did it, it was justified. And I think the defense knows this, and they know that more attention creates the possibility of jury nullification, or maybe even an acquittal.”
