Luigi Mangione’s lawyer, Thomas M. Dickey, speaks outside the courthouse

The man suspected of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fought against police and yelled before he was denied bail and decided to fight extradition to New York during a court hearing Tuesday afternoon.

Cameras captured him saying, "It’s an insult to the intelligence of the American people!" as he was pulled inside.

The court has given him 14 days to file for writ of habeas corpus and another hearing will be scheduled if that happens.

Blair County District Attorney Peter Weeks said during a news conference that Mangione fighting extradition "just provides more hoops for law enforcement, prosecutors to jump through, but we’re happy to do that."
