Luigi Mangione is accused of killing Brian Thompson in Manhattan on Dec. 4.
Luigi Mangione's attorney said his client intends to plead not guilty to the charges, claiming there is no evidence linking his client to the crime.
"We intend to learn more, and we have a lot of things to do," Bragg said. "As things go forward, there may be additional charges to bring," Bragg said. Once the former Ivy Leaguer is extradited to New York, Bragg said Mangione will face a team of Manhattan's most seasoned homicide prosecutors. The DA acknowledged that the nature of the alleged crime is "extraordinarily scary."
"It's something we're seeing more and more in use, speaking generally. It's something also we've seen people who are younger and younger working on," Bragg said. Bragg has found himself at the center of multiple high-profile cases -- including his conviction of former President Donald Trump and recent acquittal of Marine veteran Daniel Penny. With the Mangione case, Bragg is expected to face not only a high-profile prosecution but also a groundswell of public support for the accused murderer,.
