Judge dismisses two state murder charges against Luigi Mangione, accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO
[]

A Manhattan judge dismissed two murder charges related to acts of terrorism against Luigi Mangione, the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Mangione still faces a second-degree murder charge in New York, along with separate federal murder charges.
Although New York does not impose capital punishment, Mangione could face the death penalty in his federal case.
Prosecutors had argued that Mangione’s actions were intended to intimidate or pressure UnitedHealthcare employees, but Judge Carro ruled those claims fell short of what is required under New York’s terrorism laws.
He has pleaded not guilty to all accusations, and is currently being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
