路易吉·曼吉奥尼对UnitedHealthcare案件中的州指控表示不认罪

被指控枪杀UnitedHealthcare首席执行官的男子路易吉·曼吉奥尼周一对谋杀和恐怖指控表示不认罪。同时，他的律师抱怨称，纽约市市长的相关言论可能会影响其获得公正审判的机会。

Luigi Mangione, accused of killing the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges of murder and terrorism. His attorney argued that remarks by New York's mayor could jeopardize a fair trial.

26岁的路易吉·曼吉奥尼在曼哈顿法院中戴着手铐坐着，他靠近麦克风进行了答辩。曼哈顿地区检察官上周正式指控他多项谋杀罪，包括以恐怖主义行为实施谋杀的罪名。这项州案件将与其联邦案件并行进行审理。

Mangione, 26, appeared in Manhattan court, shackled as he entered his plea. He faces multiple state murder charges, including one involving terrorism, which will proceed alongside a federal case.

曼吉奥尼首次在纽约州法院出庭之前，联邦检察官已对他提起指控。联邦指控可能导致死刑，而州指控的最高刑罚是无假释的终身监禁。

Federal prosecutors had already filed charges before his state court appearance. The federal case could lead to the death penalty, while state charges carry a life sentence without parole.

检察官表示，这两起案件将同时推进，预计州案件将率先进入审判阶段。曼吉奥尼的一名律师告诉法官，包括纽约市市长埃里克·亚当斯在内的政府官员已经将曼吉奥尼当作政治棋子，从而剥夺了他作为被告的权利，并污染了陪审团的选拔过程。

Prosecutors say the state trial will begin first. Mangione's lawyer claimed officials, including Mayor Eric Adams, have politicized the case and prejudiced the jury pool.

“我非常担心我的当事人是否能获得公正的审判，”卡伦·弗里德曼·阿格尼菲洛说道。她补充说，“这是一位年轻人。他在这里被两个司法管辖区当作人类乒乓球对待。”

"I'm deeply concerned about my client's right to a fair trial," said Karen Friedman Agnifilo. "He's being treated like a pawn between two competing jurisdictions."

州法院法官格雷戈里·卡罗回应称，虽然他无法控制法院外发生的事情，但他可以确保曼吉奥尼在法庭上得到公正的审判。

Judge Gregory Carro stated he couldn't control outside rhetoric but assured a fair trial in his courtroom.

当局称，曼吉奥尼于12月4日早晨在曼哈顿中城枪杀了布莱恩·汤普森，后者当时正步行前往一场投资者会议。警方表示，经过五天的搜捕，曼吉奥尼在宾夕法尼亚州的一家麦当劳被捕，当时携带了一支与枪击案使用的武器匹配的枪以及一个假身份证。此外，联邦检察官称他还带着一本表达对保险业特别是富有高管敌意的笔记本。

Authorities allege Mangione shot Brian Thompson while the CEO was en route to a Midtown investor conference on Dec. 4. Arrested at a Pennsylvania McDonald's days later, he was carrying a matching gun, fake ID, and a notebook condemning the insurance industry.

曼哈顿地区检察官阿尔文·布拉格在上周二宣布州指控的新闻发布会上表示，恐怖主义法律的适用反映了这起“令人恐惧的、精心策划的、旨在引起震惊、注意和恐吓的谋杀”的严重性。

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg called the crime a "frightening, well-planned murder meant to terrorize and intimidate," justifying the terrorism charge.

“从最基本的意义上来说，这是一场旨在引发恐惧的谋杀，”他补充道。“我们已经看到了这种反应。”

"This was a killing designed to evoke terror," Bragg added, noting the shockwaves it has sent.

曼吉奥尼的律师卡伦·弗里德曼·阿格尼菲洛指责联邦和州检察官提出了相互矛盾的法律理论。上周，她在联邦法院表示，这种做法“非常混乱”且“极不寻常”。

Mangione's lawyer criticized federal and state prosecutors for conflicting legal strategies, calling the approach "confusing" and "unusual."

目前，曼吉奥尼被关押在布鲁克林的联邦监狱，与肖恩·“迪迪”·康布斯和萨姆·班克曼-弗里德等其他知名被告关在一起。

Mangione is detained in a Brooklyn federal jail alongside high-profile inmates Sean "Diddy" Combs and Sam Bankman-Fried.

这名从宾夕法尼亚被引渡到纽约的男子于周四抵达，被迅速带到纽约市。他被目击穿着橙色囚服，被重装警察和纽约市市长埃里克·亚当斯护送下直升机。

Mangione was extradited from Pennsylvania on Thursday and flown to New York, where he was escorted by armed officers and Mayor Adams.

亚当斯表示，他希望向嫌犯传递一个信息：“我想直视他的眼睛告诉他，你在我的城市实施了这一恐怖行为——纽约市民深爱的城市。”亚当斯对当地电视台表示，“我希望通过这种象征性行为表明立场。”

"I wanted to look him in the eye and say, 'You committed this act of terror in my city,' a city New Yorkers love," Adams told a local station.

来自马里兰州一个显赫家庭的常春藤联盟毕业生曼吉奥尼，最近几个月似乎与家人朋友断绝了联系。他在网上论坛中频繁发帖，讲述自己与背痛斗争的经历。据UnitedHealthcare称，他从未是其客户。

An Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland family, Mangione had reportedly cut ties with loved ones and posted online about chronic back pain. UnitedHealthcare confirmed he was never a client.

而受害者汤普森是两个高中生的父亲，他在UnitedHealth Group工作了20年，并于2021年成为其保险部门的首席执行官。

Thompson, a father of two teens, worked at UnitedHealth Group for 20 years and became CEO of its insurance division in 2021.

这起杀戮事件让一些人对美国保险公司的不满浮出水面，曼吉奥尼似乎成了人们对保单拒绝和高额医疗账单怨气的化身。同时，这起事件在企业界引发了震荡，高管们表示他们收到了更多威胁。

The killing has amplified public frustration with U.S. insurers, with Mangione becoming a symbol of outrage over denied coverage and costly bills. It has also unsettled corporate leaders, many reporting a spike in threats.
