Supporters of Kim took to X (formerly Twitter) to urge her to get involved in Mangione’s high-profile murder case.
The news has captivated the nation. Kim, as many know, is an outspoken advocate for criminal justice reform.
She is currently working toward passing the bar exam to officially become a lawyer.
One fan on X bluntly suggested Kim should take on Mangione’s defense.
Another speculated she might already be looking for ways to free him.
Others urged someone to contact Kim to ensure Mangione avoids jail time (though it’s too late for that).
One even called for her to secure a pardon for him.
Mangione is accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson outside Manhattan’s Hilton Hotel last week.
Authorities say Mangione fled New York following the incident, triggering a nationwide manhunt that ended days later when he was apprehended in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Police reportedly recovered the alleged murder weapon and a handwritten manifesto in which Mangione expressed anger toward the healthcare industry.
During a court appearance Tuesday at the Blair County Courthouse in Pennsylvania, Mangione’s lawyer, Thomas Dickey, announced plans to fight his extradition to New York. Bail was denied, and Mangione created a scene by shouting at photographers, prompting police to escort him inside the courthouse.
As for Kim Kardashian, it remains to be seen whether she will involve herself in this case—but don’t count on it just yet.
