When Luigi Mangione was arrested for allegedly shooting UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, it sent shockwaves across the country, but the aftermath was even more unsettling. While mainstream media condemned the act as a brutal murder, a very different narrative was taking shape online—one that questioned the true villains in this story. Was the alleged shooter a violent extremist, or had he become an unwitting symbol of something much larger?
Hosted by Law&Crime's Jesse Weber, LUIGI is more than just a true crime investigation—it's an exploration of a uniquely American moment. As this case continues to unfold in real-time, this series steps beyond the headline-grabbing "crime of the decade" angle to examine the cultural reckoning it has triggered. At its core, LUIGI captures a shifting America at a tipping point. From the public's growing disillusionment with corporate power to the radicalization of online discourse,—this is a story about what happens when the powerless begin to push back. LUIGI dissects the moral, political, and cultural divide at the heart of this case. Wherever this case goes, Law&Crime will provide you with all angles of the case; from those who have condemned the suspect and the crime, to others celebrating the act as revolutionary.
With exclusive interviews and in-depth coverage, we challenge you to decide: Is the status quo enough, or is it time for a cultural reckoning?

Weird how they don't interview any of the countless families Thompson directly destroyed through his bloodthirsty drive for profit over everything. Thompson was a sociopathic serial killer, full stop.
Is this podcast ever going to get underwater??
It's a shame that what could have been such an interesting story got turned into an over-produced, one-sided money grab of a commercial for law enforcement and the drug industry.
We love Luigi and hate CEOs
Only interviewing law enforcement makes this completely unlistenable. That guy acting like Luigi was a threat to everyone is dumb; it was clear from the beginning he purposely targeted Thompson 🙄
Trust me when I say that the writing is mediocre. Hire a better writer please. I beg of you.
This dude has an Ivy League education and the best argument he could think to make is the same one turned to by upset, bullied preteens. Talk about intellectually bankrupt. That tells you everything you need to know about the folks who support and sanctify this dork.
