Luigi Mangione allegedly had a notebook in which he recorded plans to murder UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Law enforcement officials said when they arrested Mangione as the prime suspect in the Thompson murder case, the 26-year-old Ivy League graduate was found with a possibly incriminating notebook on his person. 

“What do you do? You wack the CEO at the annual parasitic bean-counter convention. It’s targeted, precise, and doesn’t risk innocents,” a few lines from the notebook says, according to authorities. 

When Thompson was shot and killed outside New York City’s Hilton Midtown hotel on Dec. 4, he was on his way to UnitedHealth Group’s investor day, which is the company’s annual investor conference.

Police charged Mangione with killing Thompson, arresting him at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s on Monday and escorting him to his first court hearing later that day. 

Law enforcement said Wednesday that Mangione’s fingerprints matched forensic evidence found at the scene of Thompson’s murder, according to CNN.

Thomas Dickey, Mangione’s attorney, said he hadn’t “seen any evidence that they’re having the right guy” during a CNN interview Tuesday evening. 

“There’s identification issues that are present,” the defense attorney said, later adding that during the time he’d been on the case, he hadn’t “seen a speck of evidence at all.” 

“I argued today, at the extradition hearing, I still haven’t received details about the charges that he’s facing in New York. I heard your introduction, and looking into that. But so I — you know, we as lawyers need to make informed decisions, and we need to get our hands and our eyes on some evidence,” Dickey said. 

Mangione has suggested he was framed, and police have still not determined a clear motive, though authorities have said the suspect “does seem that he has some ill will toward corporate America.”

Dickey said Tuesday, “The Constitution permits that somebody in Luigi’s position has the opportunity to look at evidence, make sure the government follows through a process.”

“And that’s what we’re doing,” he concluded.
