Is Luigi Mangione innocent? Lawyer Thomas Dickey makes bombshell claims as he fights extradition from Pennsylvania to NYC

The suspect is charged with second-degree murder, forgery and criminal possession of a firearm in New York City.

In Pennsylvania, he is charged with forgery, carrying a weapon without a permit, falsely identifying himself to authorities and criminal possession.

Fingerprints collected at the scene of Brian Thomson’s murder reportedly match those of Luigi Mangione, CNN reported Wednesday.

This would be the first scientific, forensic match linking Mangione to the scene.

Mangione’s attorney said he has seen no evidence that his client is Thompson’s killer.

“It’s a shock to all of us,” Mangione’s uncle, Jerry O’Keefe, told the newspaper. New York Post.

‘I can’t say more. The statement summed it up for all of us. We don’t know more than what is reported in the media.’

The Mangione family released a statement on social media late Monday through his cousin, Maryland Del. Nino Mangione.

“Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest. We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and ask people to pray for everyone involved.”

The signs featured photos of Thompson, OptumHealth CEO Heather Cianfrocco and UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty. It is unclear who put up the posters.

Alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione appeared to be looking for a familiar face during his arraignment, but he didn’t find one.

The 26-year-old Ivy League graduate repeatedly turned to look at the public gallery during his court appearance Monday in Pennsylvania, but none of his family members showed up.

Mangione also had no one in the courtroom Tuesday to support him in his second appearance in court.

Police said Mangione tried to check into the Horseshoe Curve Lodge in Altoona, but no rooms were available.

The motel’s clerk told ABC News that police showed up and checked the cameras before determining it was the suspect who had tried to check in.

Attorney Thomas Dickey confirmed that he was privately hired rather than employed by the state to represent accused Luigi Mangione, CEO of UnitedHealthCare.

Dickey runs his own law firm and is a lifelong resident of Blair County, Pennsylvania work biography.

After earning his law degree from Ohio Northern University, Dickey joined the Blair County Public Defenders Office and then began his private practice in 1984.

He has had a successful career as a lawyer with acquittals in cases ranging from drunk driving to first-degree murder and winning appeals to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

Dickey is one of the few death penalty qualified attorneys in the area, and is known throughout the state for his strong representation in the courtroom, providing strong defense against all levels of criminal prosecution and active representation in civil lawsuits.

Mangione also had a spiral notebook in which he wrote a “to-do list” prior to the grizzly shooting. CNN reported.
