Luigi Mangione, charged with the murder of Brian Thompson, will face state and federal charges.
Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a busy sidewalk in Midtown Manhattan , has been escorted into a New York courtroom where he is expected to be arraigned on state murder and terror charges. The hearing Monday marks Mangione’s first opportunity to formally address the accusations brought by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
The 26-year-old faces 11 counts in New York, including one of murder in the first degree and two of murder in the second degree, along with other weapon and forgery charges, according to the indictment. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office confirmed to CNN it is coordinating with federal authorities for Mangione’s arraignment on the state charges. Last week, Mangione formally waived extradition and was flown from Pennsylvania to New York and arrived in Lower Manhattan surrounded by dozens of heavily armed law enforcement officers and the city’s mayor. A federal criminal complaint was unsealed on Thursday, in which Mangione was charged with murder through use of a firearm, two stalking charges and a firearms offense. He could face the death penalty if found guilty of the federal murder charge, while the state charges carry a maximum penalty of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors have not indicated whether they will seek the death penalty, and the decision would ultimately need to be approved by the US Attorney General. He also faces charges in Pennsylvania in connection to the 3D-printed firearm and false ID allegedly in his possession when he was arrested. Now, the state and federal trials will “work in parallel,” according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and the state trial will come before his federal trial, prosecutors said. The push for federal charges came from the US Attorney’s office, multiple law enforcement sources told CN
