CEO assassin's journal contents go public

Entries from the journal of the man who assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson have gone public. 

This comes, according to Fox News, as law enforcement continues to build its case against the 26-year-old Luigi Mangione.

Just this past week, Mangione was hit with even more charges, as the police continue to make more progress in their investigation of the murder.

Mangione, at the time of this writing, has thus far made one court appearance. There will be many more to come.

The journal entries

Among the evidence that prosecutors are planning to use against Mangione are his journal entries.

According to Fox, prosecutors accuse "Mangione of keeping a journal in which he outlined the deadly plot, mused about choosing a victim, and patted himself on the back for continuing to research the target."

The outlet goes on to publish some of the journal entries, such as this one: "This investor conference is a true windfall. And – most importantly – the message becomes self-evident."

Fox reports:

Mangione allegedly wrote about wanting to "wack" an insurance CEO and that he was "glad – in a way – that I've procrastinated, [because] it allowed me to learn more about UHC." He allegedly wrote that he chose to target the insurance industry because "it checks every box."

All of these notes came before he carried out the deadly attack on Thompson.

The latest

The New York Post reports that even more charges have been brought against Mangione.

Mangione, according to the outlet, now stands accused of "murder through the use of a firearm, two counts of stalking, and one count of possession of a firearm."

Mangione's defense team is now working hard to fight the charges. Per the outlet:

Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Mangione’s lead attorney – who a short time earlier arrived outside Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse relying on crutches to walk – told the court she was blindsided by the new spate of federal charges, saying she’d never encountered anything like it in her career of “over three decades.”

Angifilo is arguing that at least some of the charges are improper, saying such things as:

These seem like two different cases. The theory of the murder charge of the Manhattan DA case is terrorism and intimidating a group of people. This is stalking an individual. Is there one case, two cases, two investigations? Is there a joint investigation? Frankly, I’ve never seen anything like that and what’s happening here.

Time will tell what success Angifilo has.
