The fan mail for the murder suspect doesn’t appear to have slowed in the two months since his arrest

Summary

Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has asked his supporters to limit the number of photos they send him to 5 at a time due to overwhelming volume and screening delays.

Charged with murder, he has pleaded not guilty. Mangione’s case sparked debate about healthcare, with supporters sending fan mail and donations.

His legal defense fund has raised over $615,000. He expressed gratitude for the letters, acknowledging support across “political, racial, and even class divisions.”

Mangione also faces federal and Pennsylvania charges. His attorney argues he’s being treated differently, held in federal custody.
