Investing.com -- Luigi Mangione, the individual accused of fatally shooting health insurance executive Brian Thompson in Manhattan in December, appeared in a New York court on Friday afternoon. He faces state charges of murder and terrorism.

The 26-year-old was seen in the courtroom in a green cable knit sweater over a white shirt. He was transported into the courtroom wearing shackles on his arms and legs, and a bulletproof vest for safety measures.

On December 23, Mangione entered a plea of not guilty to an 11-count indictment. The charges against him include murder as an act of terrorism and various weapons offenses.

Should Mangione be found guilty, he could potentially face a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Currently, he is being held in a federal prison in Brooklyn.
