US EditionLuigi Mangione wants state murder case dropped, arguing double jeopardy in UnitedHealthcare killing
- Luigi Mangione's lawyers urged a judge on May 1, 2025, to dismiss his state murder charges related to UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's 2024 killing in Manhattan.
- The legal push arises amid a dispute over parallel state and federal cases, with the defense citing double jeopardy and constitutional rights violations during Mangione's December arrest.
- The defense is seeking to prevent the use of several pieces of evidence gathered at Mangione’s arrest last December, such as a 9 mm firearm, bullets, a journal allegedly detailing plans to target Thompson, and statements he made before being read his Miranda rights.
- Mangione, 26, has denied the charges in both matters and is scheduled to appear before Judge Gregory Carro on June 26, when a motion to dismiss will be reviewed ahead of a federal hearing set for December 5.
- The case highlights tensions over prosecutorial strategies, with critics rallying around Mangione as a symbol of health insurance frustrations amid efforts to impose both life imprisonment and the death penalty.
