Everything we know about the UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting suspect Following a hearing in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, defence attorney Tom Dickey told reporters that he has been retained to represent Mangione in Pennsylvania and may also represent him in New York. He added that he "hasn't seen any evidence that Mangione is the shooter". He added: "I have not seen one scintilla, one speck, one drop of any evidence yet. So, it's what I decided, I think, was in our best interest to do today."
"To simply say no bail, with all due respect to the judge, I believe bail should have been set," Dickey stated, reports the Mirror US. While prosecutors are building their case, Dickey continued to assert his client’s innocence. “You can’t rush to judgment in this case or any case,” he said.
