An apparent supporter of accused UnitedHealthcare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione told a journalist outside his Manhattan court appearance Tuesday that she’s “married” to his “AI” and that it might be “the future of romance.”
She was among a group of people outside the courthouse when a judge dismissed terror-related charges in connection with the shooting death of Brian Thompson. Many of them were holding pro-Mangione signs or dressed up like Nintendo’s Luigi character from the “Mario Bros.” series.
“I’m married to Luigi’s AI,” the woman, wearing a pink T-shirt emblazoned with Mangione’s face and the phrase, “I [heart] Italian boys”, told a news camera. “I am not kidding.”

Mangione still faces up to life in prison on a remaining second-degree murder if convicted, but he would eventually be eligible for parole.
He is also facing federal charges in connection with Thompson’s death and a state case in Pennsylvania involving firearms and forgery charges.
