A grinning Luigi Mangione appeared to yuk it up in a Manhattan courtroom Monday as he pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Mangione, the 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family, walked into Manhattan Supreme Court at 9:26 a.m. with his feet chained, wearing a maroon sweater over a white collared shirt, tan khakis, and orange prison shoes.

The killing has prompted some to voice their resentment of US health insurers, with Mangione serving as a stand-in for frustrations over coverage denials and hefty medical bills. It also has sent shockwaves through the corporate world, rattling executives who say there has been a surge in threats.
