Federal prosecutors officially file intent to seek death penalty against Luigi Mangione
Federal prosecutors have declared intent to seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, according to a court document filed on Thursday evening. The filing was obtained by Courthouse News Service on Thursday. It comes a week after Mangione, who is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was indicted on federal charges. The court document argues that Mangione 'intentionally' killed Thompson because of his position as the CEO of a health insurance company. 'Mangione elected to murder Thompson under these circumstances to amplify an ideological message, maximize the visibility and impact of the victim's murder, and to provoke broad-based resistance to the victim's industry,' prosecutors say. The document also claims that the 26-year-old presents 'a future danger' because he expressed intent 'to target an entire industry, and rally political and social opposition to that industry.' '[He engaged] in an act of lethal violence; and he took steps to evade law enforcement, flee New York City immediately after the murder, and cross state lines while armed with a privately manufactured firearm and silencer,' the filing states. 3 Federal prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione. Steven Hirsch for NY Post 3 Mangione was accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Obtained by NY Post Mangione was charged with stalking and murdering Thompson, using interstate travel, electronic communications, and a firearm, per a Southern District of New York filing last week. On Apr. 1, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the DOJ would urge a jury to seek the death penalty. 'After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President [Donald] Trump's agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again,' Bondi said. 3 Prosecutors believe Luigi Mangione presents 'a future danger.' Paul Martinka Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all counts. He is also being charged with offenses in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested at a McDonald's after a weeklong manhunt in December.
