Luigi Mangione Challenges Death Penalty Amid Legal and Political Controversies

Luigi Mangione has requested a US judge to dismiss his federal indictment or prevent prosecutors from seeking the death penalty, citing violations of his rights due to prejudicial statements and actions by law enforcement and officials. He faces federal and state murder charges related to a shooting outside a Manhattan hotel, with no trial dates set yet. His lawyers argue that the conduct of authorities has compromised his right to a fair trial.
