Heart-shaped note found in socks sent to Luigi Mangione, prosecutors say

Officer intercepted message of encouragement slipped into socks going to accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO

Someone tucked a heart-shaped note of encouragement into socks packed for Luigi Mangione to wear to court recently in the case surrounding the killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO, prosecutors said in a court document released on Wednesday.

Writings and words on bullets recovered from the scene reflected Mangione's alleged hostility toward health insurers and corporate America. The case has made him something of a cult celebrity to people frustrated with corporate health insurers in the US. Others, including elected officials, decry what they see as glorifying violence and vigilantism.
