Luigi Mangione’s Lawyer Slams NYC Mayor Adams for Documentary Interview
Luigi Mangione
Defense Attorney Blasts Eric Adams …
Got Hair, Makeup Done to Prejudice Jury!!!

Luigi Mangione‘s lawyer is pissed off at the mayor of New York City … blasting Mayor Eric Adams for giving a TV interview about the alleged evidence against her client — when she says she has yet to receive it from cops.
Karen Friedman Agnifilo appeared on the steps of a NYC courthouse Friday just minutes after Mangione’s court appearance … the first look the public has gotten of him since he was arraigned in December for allegedly murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
KFA says she had a few serious concerns to bring up in court … one of the biggest being “Who is Luigi Mangione?” — a recent documentary released by HBO which features high-ranking police officials and Mayor Adams himself.
Agnifilo says she was floored when she watched the doc and saw the cops and mayor — who took the time to get all dolled up in full hair and makeup, she says — sharing alleged evidence against her client which hadn’t been handed over to her yet. She just received it today, but the doc dropped earlier this month.
Plus, Karen adds the actors don’t even sound anything like Mangione … so, in this case, their imitations are not a form of flattery.
Karen says she’s really worried this will prejudice any potential jury pool against her client … a major violation of his constitutional rights.

She also expressed concern over the number of jurisdictions in which Mangione has been charged for this one incident … noting in court that it could limit her ability to defend her client.
Agnifilo adds that it’s hard to defend Mangione while he’s in federal custody because they’re constantly surrounded by cops … and, she would rather he be in state prison. Remember, Mangione is in custody at MDC Brooklyn — a federal jail in the city.
During court, the judge offered to remand Mangione to Riker’s Island — one of the most notorious prisons in the country, which is set to be closed down in the next few years. Riker’s is a state prison, not a federal one.
Worth noting, Agnifilo also called out Adams at Mangione’s December arraignment after Luigi was paraded in a very public perp walk — surrounded by law enforcement personnel and the mayor himself — that was caught by hundreds of cameras.
As you know … Luigi is facing both state and federal murder charges for the alleged slaying of Thompson — and, he could get the death penalty if convicted.
It’s high stakes … and, it sounds like Agnifilo’s pissed that Adams is butting into the tense situation.
MMA’s Guilherme Vasconcelos
Cause Of Death Revealed
Published
Guilherme “Bomba” Vasconcelos — an MMA fighter who competed in the UFC and Bellator, and dated Demi Lovato — died by suicide, according to newly-released documents.
TMZ Sports obtained the case report from the October 15 incident … which state cops were dispatched to an Illinois home around 9 AM after a woman reported finding Vasconcelos in the garage.
After reviewing security camera footage … cops determined Vasconcelos took his own life the night prior around 11:45 PM — and was not discovered until the following morning.
A search of the house recovered several vials of anabolic steroids, with two mostly empty and two unopened. A suicide note was not discovered.
According to a toxicology report … it yielded only one positive finding — caffeine.
Over the course of his MMA career … Vasconcelos racked up a record of 10-6. He and Lovato were first spotted together in 2017 during New Year’s Eve festivities after several months of dating.
Guilherme’s uncle, Walter, mourned the loss of his nephew at the time … saying, “We were looking forward to your visit for Christmas, which will no longer happen. Life is fleeting, and we woke up to this devastating news. What a time we live in.”
RIP

Justin Bieber
Snaps at Paparazzi
… So Disrespectful!!!

Justin Bieber was getting snapped and then he snapped … unloading on a paparazzi for saying something the pop star felt was disrespectful.
Ya gotta see the heated interaction between Justin and a photog … with the Biebs snapping at the guy, set off by the dude saying “Thank you.”
Justin asks the photog — who is not a TMZ cameraman — why he’s thanking him … and explains why it’s disrespectful to do so.
Bieber was heading back to his SUV with Hailey Bieber after grabbing breakfast at Beverly Glen Deli in Los Angeles … and paps were waiting for him.
Justin told the guy to stick to taking pictures and letting him do his thing … with no need to thank JB for anything.
We don’t usually see this kind of reaction from Justin … so it’s pretty interesting.
Justin and Hailey hanging out in public is noteworthy too … the couple was dogged by break-up rumors last month but they squashed it and now they’re out together.
