He is currently being held for [[second degree murder]] and will fight an extradition to [[New York (state)|New York]]. [[Governor of New York|New York governor]] [[Kathy Hochul]] said that she will sign a warrant for Mangione to ensure that he is "tried and held accountable". David Harris, a law profressor, also said that his extradition will delay things to about "30 to 45 days, four to six weeks, in that range. But it will not stop the inevitable.” Mangione is currently being held in the [[State Correctional Institution – Huntingdon|State Correctional Institution]] which is the oldest prision in the state of [[Pennsylvania]] which has a population of 1,853 which is at 99% capacity. There was also a [[GiveSendGo]] which raised about 31,000 dollars (as of December 12) with a goal of 200,000 dollars. |

Mangione was allegedly found to have a three-page manifesto that speaks to "both to his mind and his mindset" for the crime. Excerpts of the manifesto included, "These parasites had it coming" and "I do apologize for any strife or trauma, but it had to be done" Mangione called health care companies parasites, and he had a distain for cooperate greed and power. He also said that the [[United States]] had the most high-priced health care system in the world, and said that profits continued to rise while the life expectancy of Americans did not.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-12-11 |title=Back pain, writings and more: Details emerge about Luigi Mangione, suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO killing |url=https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/back-pain-writings-and-more-details-emerge-about-luigi-mangione-suspect-in-unitedhealthcare-ceo-killing/3621632/ |access-date=2024-12-12 |website=NBC Chicago |language=en-US}}</ref> Mangione also left a four-star rating on the [[Unabomber manifesto]], saying "Clearly written by a mathematics prodigy. Reads like a series of lemmas on the question of 21st century quality of life".<ref name="auto1"/> Mangione has also had backpains since his childhood which probably contributed to his anger about the healthcare system.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Napier |first=Andi Shae |date=2024-12-11 |title=Severe back pain considered central to Mangione's alleged motive - Washington Examiner |url=https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/crime/3257846/severe-back-pain-reddit-mangione-motive-murder/ |access-date=2024-12-12 |language=en-US}}</ref> |
