Luigi Mangione supporters rally outside courtroom as suspected CEO killer faces pre-trial hearing

Suspected CEO killer Luigi Mangione will appear in a midtown Manhattan courtroom on Monday for a pretrial hearing to determine proceedings on evidence collected in his backpack and statements he made at the time of his arrest.
