Mangione is charged in New York with first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism and other counts in Thompson's Dec. 4 killing.
The CEO was shot from behind as he was walking on a Manhattan sidewalk.
Mangione said in the statement that people have written to him at the Metropolitan Detention Center, where he is jailed pending trial.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said that “this type of premeditated, targeted gun violence cannot and will not be tolerated.”.
Hear me on this: He is no hero,” Shapiro said after Mangione was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona.
