Luigi Mangione wants state murder case dropped, arguing double jeopardy in UnitedHealthcare killing

  • Luigi Mangione, 26, has been charged with murder at both the state and federal levels in connection with the December 4 homicide of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in Manhattan.
  • Mangione's lawyers argue that separate state and federal cases have conflicting theories creating a legal quagmire and amount to double jeopardy.
  • The state case alleges terrorism to intimidate a civilian population while the federal case focuses on stalking a single person, complicating his defense.
  • Federal prosecutors plan to pursue the death penalty, while the state charges carry a potential sentence of life imprisonment; Mangione has entered not guilty pleas in both proceedings.
  • Judge Gregory Carro will rule on a motion to dismiss state charges June 26, which could affect the ongoing legal tug-of-war over Mangione’s prosecution.
