I have been a lawyer for 30 years. There is a lot more to the Luigi Mangione story than we are being told so far.
I am highly concerned about his claim that evidence was planted on him.

Luigi Mangione’s Manifesto:
“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot… pic.twitter.com/kBXK91J7lI

I find it interesting more people aren’t discussing the fact that nobody actually told him what he was being charged with before his court appearance. Did he not have time to get a lawyer?
Additionally, both claims of cash and a Faraday bag seem like they’re stretching for anything to hold him.
From CNN: The judge read the entire criminal complaint out loud to Mangione after the suspect said that no one had read it to him prior to that moment.
Mangione verbally pushed back against two claims from prosecutors in court — first a claim that because Mangione was found with $8,000 in cash on him that he was trying to evade authorities.
The other claim was that because he had a Faraday bag on him, which blocks cell signal — this showed evidence of criminal sophistication. Mangione said to the first claim that he did not know where the money he had on him came from, saying maybe it was planted. On the second claim, he said that the bag was waterproof and he didn’t know about criminal sophistication.
“‘I’d like to correct two things. I don’t know where any of that money came from—I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication.’”
