Luigi Mangione Pleads Not Guilty
The legal team representing Luigi Mangione is the married duo Karen Friedman Agnifilo and Marc Agnifilo.
Notably, they are also defending rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in a separate high-profile case.
They expressed concern that Mangione might not receive a fair trial.
The attorneys argue that he is being treated like a «human ping-pong ball,» exploited as «political fodder» and mishandled by the authorities.

Mangione has reportedly received numerous fan letters, expressing admiration for his appearance and praising his so-called «heroic» actions.
