Luigi Mangione, accused of killing Brian Thompson, UnitedHealthcare's CEO, is facing murder and terror charges in both federal and state courts. The state case will run concurrently with the federal case, which could carry the death penalty.
Luigi Mangione, charged with the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is expected to be arraigned in a Manhattan court Monday on murder and terror charges. The state case will run parallel to federal charges, which could carry the death penalty, while the maximum sentence for the state charges are life in prison without parole. Prosecutors have said the two cases will proceed simultaneously.
Authorities say Mangione gunned down Brian Thompson as he was walking to an investor conference in midtown Manhattan on the morning of Dec 4. Mangione was arrested in a Pennsylvania McDonald’s after a five-day search, carrying a gun that matched the one used in the shooting and a fake ID, police said. He also was carrying a notebook expressing hostility toward the health insurance industry and especially wealthy executives, according to federal prosecutors. At a news conference announcing the state charges on Tuesday, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg said the application of the terrorism law reflected the severity of a “frightening, well-planned, targeted murder that was intended to cause shock and attention and intimidation.” “In its most basic terms, this was a killing that was intended to evoke terror,” he added. “And we’ve seen that reaction.” Karen Friedman Agnifilo, an attorney for Mangione, has accused federal and state prosecutors of advancing conflicting legal theories. In federal court last week, she called their approach “very confusing” and “highly unusual”
