Suspect yelled ‘this is … an insult to the intelligence of the American people’ before he fought being extradited

The suspect in the shooting death of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, screamed: “This is completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people” on Tuesday before he fought being extradited from Pennsylvania to face murder charges in New York.

During the hearing, beside choosing to fight his extradition, Luigi Mangione was denied bail. For now, Mangione, 26, will return to custody at Pennsylvania’s Huntingdon state correctional institution while navigating the process to contest extradition, which could take days – if not a month or more, as the New York Times noted.
