Luigi Manion, a 26-year-old man, is accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a premeditated attack in Midtown Manhattan. Manion, who has a background as an Ivy League-educated engineer, allegedly targeted Thompson due to his anger towards the healthcare industry. Evidence includes a notebook detailing plans for the attack, and Manion faces charges including murder and stalking, making him eligible for the death penalty. The case has drawn significant public attention, with some viewing Manion as a symbol against perceived injustices in the healthcare system. Despite the serious nature of the crime, a poll showed that a notable percentage of young voters found his actions acceptable, highlighting a divide in public opinion. Manion's arrest followed a multi-state manhunt, culminating in his capture in Pennsylvania after being recognized by a McDonald's employee.
