The fan mail for the murder suspect doesn’t appeared to have slowed in the two months since his arrest. New York prosecutors have charged Mangione with murder and other crimes in connection with the death of the insurance executive, who was fatally shot outside of a hotel in Midtown Manhattan on December 4. He has pleaded not guilty.

“Luigi is allowed to receive photos via Shutterfly and FreePrints in accordance with mail procedures while in custody,” reads a statement on the FAQ page of his legal defense information website. “Due to the volume of photos, they could take longer than usual to be screened and shared. Luigi appreciates the photos that are sent and kindly asks that people send no more than five photos at a time. Please note that every photo that is received is screened and reviewed by law enforcement.”.
"I am overwhelmed by - and grateful for - everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support. Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions, as mail has flooded MDC from across the country, and around the globe,” Mangione’s statement said. “While it is impossible for me to reply to most letters, please know that I read every one that I receive. Thank you again to everyone who took the time to write. I look forward to hearing more in the future.".
"Luigi is aware of the fund and very much appreciates the outpouring of support. My client plans on utilizing it to fight all three of the unprecedented cases against him,” Karen Friedman Agnifilo, his attorney, said in a February 4 statement. At last week’s hearing Agnifilo argued that her client is being “treated differently than other defendants,” pointing to the fact that he’s being held in federal custody rather than state custody, even though the state case is coming first.
