US EditionNew York judge tosses terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione, lets murder count stand
- Judge Gregory Carro dismissed two state murder charges related to terrorism against Luigi Mangione on September 16, 2025, in a New York courtroom.
- The dismissal followed Carro's finding that evidence was insufficient to prove Mangione aimed to intimidate or coerce a civilian population as required for terrorism charges.
- Luigi Mangione, charged in connection with the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, still faces nine outstanding counts, including second-degree murder and several weapons-related charges.
- The Manhattan District Attorney's Office acknowledged the ruling and confirmed they will continue to pursue the nine remaining charges, while supporters outside the courthouse displayed signs reading 'Save Luigi.'
- Mangione's next hearing is scheduled for December 1, 2025, and he continues to plead not guilty amid a growing legal defense fund exceeding $1.3 million and widespread support.
