  • Karen Friedman Agnifilo was second-in-command at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. There, she prosecuted violent crime cases, including those that had "a mental health component."

Luigi Mangione, a former Oklahoma City police officer accused of murdering his ex-wife, has retained high-profile defense attorney Gary James as his lawyer. Mangione, who was arrested in December 2023, faces charges of first-degree murder and stalking after his ex-wife, Christina Mangione, was found shot to death in her home. Gary James, known for representing notable figures like former Oklahoma County Commissioner Brent Rinehart and former Oklahoma State Senator Ralph Shortey, brings significant legal experience to the case. The case has drawn considerable attention due to Mangione's law enforcement background and the nature of the crime. James has not yet commented on the specifics of the case but is expected to provide a robust defense for Mangione.
