Mangione?s team wants state murder charges thrown out
Luigi Mangione?s lawyers have urged a judge to throw out his state murder charges in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, arguing that the New York case and a parallel federal death penalty prosecution amount to double jeopardy. Double jeopardy refers to the legal principle that prevents a person from being tried twice for the same offense. If that doesn?t happen, they want terrorism charges dismissed and prosecutors barred from using specific evidence collected during Mangione?s arrest last December.
