Luigi Mangione is asking for a laptop in jail for legal purposes — not for communicating with anyone — as he awaits trial in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive.

In a court filing made public late on Monday, Mangione’s lawyers proposed that he have a laptop configured solely to let him view a vast amount of documents, video and other material in the case surrounding the shooting of Brian Thompson.
