Kim Kardashian’s fans are cheering her on to represent Luigi Mangione

The suspected killer of UnitedHealthCare CEO Luigi Mangione already has a lawyer, but some Kim Kardashian fans want him replaced by the reality star and aspiring lawyer.

Some of Kim’s fervent supporters jumped on X to encourage her to get involved in the Mangione murder case, which has captivated the country. As you know, Kim is an outspoken advocate for criminal justice reform as she tries to pass the bar to become a lawyer.

One person on Another speculated that Kim could be looking for ways to free Mangione. A third begged someone to contact Kim so she could protect Mangione from jail time (it’s too late for that). And a fourth demanded that Kim try to get Mangione pardoned.

As we reported, Mangione is accused of fatally shooting UHC CEO Brian Thompson outside the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan last week.

Police say Mangione fled New York state, sparking a nationwide manhunt before he was captured days later in Altoona Pennsylvania and charged with serious crimes, including murder. Investigators have found, among other things, the alleged weapon Mangione used in the shooting and his alleged handwritten manifesto railing against the health care industry.

Meanwhile, Mangione was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday in Blair County, PA, where he was denied bail as his attorney, Thomas Dickey, announced he is fighting extradition to New York. Before the hearing, Mangione made a spectacle as he shouted at photographers, prompting police to rush him into the courthouse.
