Aggressive and out of control, shouting and trying to resist the police officers who were escorting him, Luigi Maggione, the 26-year-old arrested for the murder of the CEO of UnitedHealthCare, arrived in court on Tuesday.

Maggione screamed and fought against the officers while turning to reporters he shouted “it’s completely irrelevant and insults the intelligence of the American people”.

As for the court portion of the case, Mangione’s attorney also asked the judge to set bail, which the judge denied, and so he will continue to be held in a Pennsylvania jail.

The Pennsylvania court gave him 14 days to file an appeal, and if he does a hearing will be scheduled.

Mangioni was arrested at a McDonald’s store in Altoona, about 500 kilometers west of New York. A Pennsylvania court ordered his pretrial detention, pending his transfer to New York.

The police are concerned about the photo of an X-ray that the suspect had posted on his profile on the X platform.

Last Wednesday morning the suspect approached Brian Thompson, 50, and shot him in cold blood outside a Manhattan hotel. The killing was caught on security cameras.

Thomson’s death caused a lot of emotion but also a lot of hateful comments against US health insurance programs. Some users on social networking sites expressed anger at the for-profit system, accusing the companies of getting rich off the backs of patients.

“We don’t kill people in cold blood for political reasons or to make a point,” said Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro.
