Attorneys for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, allege that Manhattan prosecutors wrongfully obtained Mangione’s medical records from his insurance carrier, Aetna. A court filing reveals the District Attorney’s office obtained over 120 pages of Mangione’s medical information, including diagnoses and complaints, without court approval or informing the defense. The defense claims the prosecution used a false court date and a fraudulent subpoena to compel Aetna to send the records directly to their office, bypassing the court system. The DA’s office claims the extra information was an error, and they deleted it after discovering it, notifying the defense and the court. The defense disputes the relevance of the obtained records to the case and has requested an evidentiary hearing and access to all communications between Aetna and the DA’s office. Mangione faces the death penalty in federal court for the murder. Diary entries reveal Mangione’s detailed planning and his targeting of the insurance industry. While Mangione was not insured by UnitedHealthcare at the time of the shooting, he allegedly expressed hostility toward the health insurance industry in his writings. A friend and online postings corroborate Mangione’s past back problems and spinal surgery. The relevance of the obtained medical records to the back injury is unclear.
