NEW YORK – On Friday a federal judge dropped two of the four charges against Luigi Mangione – the man accused of fatally shooting unitedhealthcare CEO Brian thompson – making his case no longer eligible for the death penalty. Mangione is accused of killing thompson on Dec. 4, 2024 on a street in midtown Manhattan as he was walking to his hotel for UnitedHealth Group’s annual investor conference. Police say the words “delay,” “deny” adn “depose” were writen on the ammunition used, referencing a phrase used to describe how insurers avoid paying claims.
The charges of murder through use of a firearm (wich made the case capital eligible) and a firearms offense were dropped,while two interstate stalking charges remain.
