Luigi Mangione has been granted a major perk behind bars as he awaits trial for the alleged assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The 27-year-old suspect has been given access to a laptop to use in jail in preparation of the murder trial.
The laptop will be 'prepared by the government' and handed over to Mangione seven days a week, for use between 8am and 4pm, the NY Post reported.
U.S. District Judge Margaret M. Garnett signed an order on Monday demanding the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn begin preparations to secure the laptop.
Mangione's attorneys, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Marc Agnifilo and Jacob Kaplan, told the judge the letter would allow Mangione to 'adequately prepare for trial and assist in his own defense.'
