Judge Rules Luigi Mangione Not Eligible for Death Penalty
Judge bars death penalty for Luigi Mangione after federal murder charge is dismissed.
U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett dismissed the federal murder charge against 27‑year‑old Luigi Mangione in the 4 December 2024 killing of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson, saying the prosecution failed to prove a ‘crime of violence’. Garnett also threw out the gun charge but kept stalking counts, which carry a potential life sentence, on the record. With a 30‑day window to appeal, prosecutors will now pursue the state case where Mangione faces nine counts, including second‑degree murder and weapons charges. The ruling is a setback for the Trump administration’s push for a death sentence. Jury selection in the federal case is set for 8 September.
