Artist challenges murder charge in United Healthcare case
The case of Luigi Mangione is currently one of the most talked-about in the United States. The man is accused of murdering the director of United Healthcare. An artist, who is convinced that the IT specialist is not the one who pulled the trigger, has spoken out on the matter.
When the name Luigi Mangione appeared in newspaper headlines in connection with the death of the director of United Healthcare, the public quickly passed its judgment. However, amidst the voices of condemnation, a surprising stance emerged – a painter, known primarily for his art, decided to publicly challenge the accusations. The artist's declaration is not merely an act of defiance against the system but comes with concrete evidence that he claims proves the American IT specialist's innocence.
American painter challenges prosecutor’s findings
Christopher Brown is a professional painter specialising in portraits. He declares that during his 20-year career, he has painted at least 45,000 portraits, including quick sketches, which require Brown's skill in capturing the details of facial features rapidly. The artist has also collaborated with courts, working as a courtroom sketch artist. All these qualifications led him to assert an acquittal verdict in the case of Luigi Mangione.
The American IT specialist and graduate of a prestigious Ivy League university was accused of an act of terrorism and first-degree murder, supposedly committed against United Healthcare’s director, Brian Thompson. At the time of the arrest, a manifesto and a weapon allegedly used for the murder were found on him, which almost sealed the verdict passed by public opinion.
Luigi Mangione did not kill Brian Thompson?
Christopher Brown provided specific details which, in his opinion, indicate that the murderer of the CEO of United Healthcare could not be the descendant of Italian immigrants. The artist said in a video posted on TikTok: - Facial features do not lie. Let's look at the bridge of the nose, the elongated chin – this cannot be faked or distorted in a video recording. From my professional point of view, as a portrait artist with 20 years of experience, this is not the same person. Anyone who says otherwise – well, I don't know what they're trying to achieve. The person in the photo is not him. You can see it in the smile – it's different. The jaw is different. The bridge of the nose is different. Even the shape of the eyebrows. Could they have grown so quickly since the time of arrest? Something here clearly doesn't add up.
The painter adds: - If anyone tries to tell you that this is the same person, I'll be blunt: I think they are trying to find a scapegoat. I think this guy was forcibly set up as guilty, and I don't think they have enough evidence for it. You know what I mean? There are too many uncertainties. Why would he have a manifesto on him? I think he either collaborated with someone, was framed, or was in cahoots with a group of people.
