Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are advancing Luigi Mangione’s death penalty case for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson without delay. The prosecution rejects motions to dismiss charges or remove capital punishment eligibility, citing statements from Attorney General Pam Bondi and former Donald Trump calling Mangione a "pure assassin." Mangione pleaded not guilty and faces hearings in state court and federal court, with the case drawing national attention over healthcare costs and criminal trial politicization.
