New York Governor Kathy Hochul said she’s ready to do “whatever it takes to hold the killer accountable” in the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder case. The suspect in that case, Luigi Mangione, is scheduled to appear in a Pennsylvania court Thursday morning for an extradition hearing. Mangione’s attorney said Wednesday that the 26-year-old suspect is expected to waive his right to fight extradition in court Thursday in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania judge must approve the waiver or proceed with a hearing Thursday morning, following a separate session on Mangione’s local charges.
