Less than a month remains until Luigi Mangione's murder trial begins in a New York court - and the case that's already attracted national attention is likely to become an even bigger spectacle.
He is due back in court on Tuesday for a hearing which is sure to mean his supporters - many of whom see Mangione as a symbol of the backlash against US healthcare costs - queueing for hours to get in.
Critics and backers spin reams of online discourse about the case. Many analyse his intentions, even his appearance.
The frenzy is likely to go into overdrive on 8 September, when jury selection begins.
