The man accused of gunning down a health insurance executive in a brazen hit in New York that sparked fierce debate about the industry pleaded not guilty Monday to state charges including "terrorist" murder.

Monday's hearing came after Mangione, 26, appeared in a New York court last week to face federal charges also including murder following his dramatic extradition by plane and helicopter from Pennsylvania, where he was arrested at a McDonald's restaurant. The suspect is charged in both state and federal court in the December 4 shooting of UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson.

People demonstrating against the industry gathered outside court Monday brandishing banners reading "free Luigi" and "innocent until proven guilty."

If convicted in the state case, Mangione could face life imprisonment with no parole. In the federal case, he could technically face the death penalty.

Mangioni's attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo has previously sought clarity on how simultaneous federal and state charges would work, calling the situation "highly unusual."

Agnifilo raised concerns on Monday that Mangione could not receive a fair trial, and questioned why New York mayor Eric Adams had been present when Mangione was brought off a police helicopter at a Manhattan helipad last week. Aginifilo told local media Monday that officials "are treating him like he is like some sort of political fodder." She said the sight of Mangione flanked by rifle-wielding tactical officers during the final stage of his extradition that was widely broadcast was "utterly political."

UnitedHealth Group’s stock fell 5 percent on Friday alone, bringing its weekly loss to 10 percent. That wiped roughly $56 billion from the company’s market capitalization.

After-hours trading continued to dip, dropping 5 percent on Sunday after a video leaked UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty, Thompson’s boss, slamming industry critics on social media as “vitriolic” and “not in tune with reality.”

“We guard against the pressures that exist for unsafe care or unnecessary care,” Witty said in a private video to staff filmed in the wake of Thompson’s execution outside of a New York City hotel Wednesday.

The video, published by independent journalist Ken Klippenstein on Friday evening after markets closed, was met with backlash online. “Talk about misreading the situation,” one X user wrote.

UnitedHealth Group’s plunge follows similar trends in health insurance stocks.

Rival firm Elevance Health—the parent of Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield—fell six percent by the end of the week.

I got a combo box of 4 strips, fries, coleslaw, a slice of toast, dip, and a drink.

The strips were uniformly sized. The fries were crispy, and well cooked. My coleslaw looked gross, but the person I went with had better looking coleslaw. It was odd having toast served with my meal, but I'm not complaining about it. Their dip tasted like a mixture of ketchup, mayonnaise, and a seasoning salt - It was good, but not captivating.

The experience was fine. I think Chick-fil-a is better. It has better sauce, and doesn't charge if you want extra. Chick-fil-a offers more variety.

Raising Cane's is always busy. Their drive-thru was busy, and inside was busy. It surprises me that people are so drawn to this chicken strip restaurant. It's good, but I can't see myself electing to return there.

Any opinions? Raising Cane's vs Chick-fil-a? vs other chicken establishments?
