The Trump administration is looking for a death penalty for the alleged killer of the Unitedhealthcare CEO Brian Thompson
The parade of daylight has made news all over the world. Mangione has aroused significant sympathy and support from the exasperated Americans with the country’s health system, in which insurers usually deny or frustrate complaints and about 25 million Americans do not have health insurance.
The accused killer has become a kind of pin-up model for its beautiful appearance and has been flooded with letters and gifts in prison, including heart-shaped love letters. The supporters have crowded with its most recent appearance in court in February, transporting signs such as “Luigi Free” and “Health Reform now”.
