Despite pleading guilty to stalking and murdering father and health care CEO Brian Thompson, Mangione’s defense fund donations spiked again to a whopping $1.56 million with many of his supporters still deeming him a Robin Hood.

Very strange times.

Gruesome Photo of Woman Receiving Cervical Cancer Treatment in Year 1920

In 1920, cancer treatment looked nothing like it does today.

A woman with advanced cervical cancer lay on a hospital bed with her legs supported by fabric slings as physicians directed X-rays toward the affected area. There were no CT scans, computerized treatment plans, or modern radiation machines. Radiation therapy was still in its early stages, and doctors were only beginning to understand how to use this new technology.

For many patients, options were extremely limited.

Luigi Mangione Request Murder Trial Be Live Streamed

Accused killer Luigi Mangione

America’s boyfriend, Luigi Mangione, is requesting to have his upcoming New York state murder trial livestreamed.

Although I truly hope they livestream this trial, I have to question if there is some kind of defense tactic in play here. Any law scholars that can explain this legal play?

Mangione came to national attention after being accused of the December 4, 2024, fatal shooting of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in New York City. He was arrested several days later in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after a nationwide manhunt. 

As of August 2026:

  • He has pleaded not guilty to the New York state charges.
  • He also faces related federal charges.
  • He remains in custody while the criminal cases proceed. The legal process is ongoing, and no final verdict has been reached.
