Luigi Mangione, indicted for the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has spoken out. He discussed his legal battle publicly for the first time.

The 26-year-old was arrested in December and charged with murder. He issued a statement on his website, expressing his gratitude for the support he has received.

"I am overwhelmed — and grateful — for everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support," Mangione stated. He acknowledged that this support crossed political, racial, and class lines. "Mail has flooded MDC [the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn] from across the country and around the globe," he noted.

Mangione added that while he could not reply to many letters, he appreciates each one. "Thank you again to everyone who took the time to write. I look forward to hearing more in the future," he said.

His attorneys elaborated on the reason for launching the website. "Due to the extraordinary volume of inquiries and outpouring of support," they explained, "this site was created by Luigi Mangione’s legal defense team to provide answers and accurate information about his cases."

One year ago, Mangione was arrested at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s. He faced four counts related to possession of a firearm and forged documents. Later, he was indicted on 11 counts in New York, including first-degree murder.

Mangione allegedly shot Thompson, 50, outside the New York Hilton Midtown on December 4, using shotgun shells labeled with the words "deny," "defend," and "depose."

However, Mangione's attorney, Thomas Dickey, expressed doubt. "I haven't seen any evidence that he's the shooter," he stated. He emphasized, "A fundamental concept of American justice is a presumption of innocence until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." Dickey reported, "I've seen zero evidence at this point."

Earlier, SSP wrote that Cheryl Burke discussed her celibacy journey.
