Law & Crime launched its first podcast of 2025, Luigi, available only on Windery+, and produced in collaboration with Wheelhouse's Twist Media.
Hosted by Law & Crime's Jesse Weber, Luigi is more than a true crime podcast. This is an exploration of cultural disparities characterized by the public response to the cold-blooded murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the streets of New York City.
In the incident that won headlines since December last year, authorities argue that 26-year-old Luigi Mangion has created a critical plan to make a fatal statement about rising costs of American healthcare by shooting Thompson on his way to an investor meeting.
Law & Crime invites listeners on a 5-day, in-depth journey of interstate manhunts, causing reflection on Tiktok's ramp-stretched polarizing network for all militants.
Over the course of the four first episodes, Luigi offers legal insight into a still-developed case that has already been called the 10-year trial. It also explores its place in a fierce national conversation about corporate power and class division.
Through all-new court documents and key interviews close to lawyers, analysts, investigators and other cases, Luigi shows the culture at that tipping point, summarizing two diverse stories that exploded online.
These are Mangione as a calculated monster's suspicion, and the Internet discourse of voices gathered in support of the #freeluigi movement.
All episodes of Luigi will be available on Wondery+ only from March 24th.
