Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty to all charges Friday in the federal case brought against him alleging he killed United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Mangione, who has attracted a significant fan following, denied murder through the use of a firearm, another gun offense and two counts of stalking.
Military whistleblower Chelsea Manning again showed up to support the alleged murderer in Manhattan Federal Court.
It was the second time Manning – who spent seven years behind bars for passing secrets to WikiLeaks – has been at court to see the man accused of shooting Thompson on a Manhattan street.
Mangione walked into court in leg shackles with his hands cuffed behind his back.
He was not wearing the loafers he wore at his previous state court hearing – he wore them without socks and his preppy sweater.
This time he was wearing dark socks, prison issue sneakers and a tan colored prison-issued top and pants.
Young women in the audience craned their necks to see him as his hands were freed and he sat down at a table with his lawyers, smiling as his attorney made a comment to him.
