4.1.25 Statement from Karen Friedman Agnifilo
“By seeking to murder Luigi Mangione, the Justice Department has moved from the dysfunctional to the barbaric. Their decision to execute Luigi is political and goes against the recommendation of the local federal prosecutors, the law, and historical precedent. While claiming to protect against murder, the federal government moves to commit the pre-meditated, state-sponsored murder of Luigi. By doing this, they are defending the broken, immoral, and murderous healthcare industry that continues to terrorize the American people. We are prepared to fight these federal charges, brought by a lawless Justice Department, as well as the New York State charges, and the Pennsylvania charges, and anything else they want to pile on Luigi. This is a corrupt web of government dysfunction and one-upmanship. Luigi is caught in a high-stakes game of tug-of-war between state and federal prosecutors, except the trophy is a young man’s life.”

2.21.25 Statement by Karen Friedman Agnifilo Outside 100 Centre Street
Luigi thanks everybody for being here today. My name is Karen Friedman Agnifilo and I’m here with Jacob Kaplan and the rest of Luigi Mangione’s legal team. My intention is not to give a press conference, not to give remarks and not to speak outside of court because I think the most important thing is to speak in court on the record. But since video cameras – the application for video of today’s proceeding was denied, I thought I would give the remarks that I gave in court out here so that the people who are interested in hearing what’s happening to Luigi Mangione can hear what’s happening to Luigi Mangione.

From 12.23.24 NYS Supreme Court transcript
MS. AGNIFILO: First we request immediate expedited discovery in this case. The People have had this case for about almost three weeks and that's more than enough time to gather as much information as they can give to us, especially now that we have two proceedings that we have to answer to, one of them being death-eligible. So we are requesting that we get immediate discovery of all the New York City Police Department and FBI and Federal and State documents.

12.18.24 Statement from Karen Friedman Agnifilo
“The federal government's reported decision to pile on top of an already overcharged first-degree murder and state terror case is highly unusual and raises serious constitutional and statutory double jeopardy concerns. We are ready to fight these charges in whatever court they are brought."
