Death penalty off the table in Mangione case as federal charges are pared down
A federal judge ruled Luigi Mangione will not face the death penalty on federal charges tied to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson; two charges were dismissed as not meeting the 'crime of violence' definition, leaving stalking charges that could carry life in prison. The federal trial's jury selection begins Sept. 8 with opening statements Oct. 13, while New York state prosecutors plan to try him in July on separate charges.
