Federal prosecutors are fighting Luigi Mangione's demand for death penalty details
In a court filing Friday night, Luigi Mangione posed what his lawyers say is an urgent question: Why is the federal government seeking the death penalty? Responding on Monday, federal prosecutors not only opposed tipping their hand, but successfully asked the judge for a month to explain why. "The government intends to oppose the defendant's motion and respectfully requests a period of thirty days to file its response," prosecutors wrote in a tersely-worded letter to the judge, who set an August 27 reply deadline. Mangione is accused of murder in the December assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. In April, Attorney General Pam Bondi directed New York prosecutors to seek the death penalty. Mangione's demand now is for prosecutors to immediately provide details of the so-called aggravating factors they intend to prove in seeking the death penalty at trial. The government has alleged five aggravating factors, meaning five reasons Thompson's murder deserves the ultimate punishment. They include "substantial planning and premeditation," the "grave risk of death to additional persons," "victim impact," "the selection of site for an act of violence," and "future dangerousness," according to prosecutors' bare-bones April 24 "Notice of Intent to Seek the Death Penalty." "The allegations in the Notice of Intent filed in this case are generalized and unbounded, leaving the defense blind as to what acts, events, harms — in short, what facts — the government intends to prove," the defense said in Friday's filing. The filing is signed by . It asks the judge to give prosecutors 90 days — until October 24 — "to provide an informational outline of the essential facts underlying its alleged aggravating factors." It will take the defense considerable time to respond, particularly to the prosecution's claim of "grave risk of death to additional persons," Moskowitz wrote. "The Notice does not identify what other people were put in grave risk of death," he wrote. "Indeed, given that the shooting of Mr. Thompson was done at close range and early in the morning, when the street was nearly empty, it is hard to imagine, without further specificity, how the government intends to prove this aggravating factor." The need for speed is "acute," Moskowitz added, "since the court has expressed its intention to try this case in 2026." US District Judge Margaret M. Garnett quickly granted prosecutors' request for a 30-day reply deadline. At a pretrial conference in April, she said she intends to set a firm, 2026 trial date at Mangione's next scheduled conference, on December 5.

Oklo wins big with Aurora reactor as U.S. Air Force taps nuclear power for Alaska base
Oklo Inc. just hit the nuclear jackpot. The U.S. Defence Logistics Agency Energy has issued a Notice of Intent to award the startup a deal to deploy its advanced Aurora powerhouse at Alaska's Eielson Air Force Base.

The Aurora reactor, a sleek, sci-fi-ready microreactor, promises to deliver continuous energy, off-grid capabilities, and that hot fusion of electricity and heat needed in the frosty wilds of Alaska. This deal is part of the Department of the Air Force's microreactor pilot program aimed at powering up critical defence infrastructure. Oklo is not just building the plant—they will design it, own it, operate it, and supply power under a long-term contract. It is like signing a lifetime Netflix subscription, except it is nuclear. Is that loco enough for you?$OKLO 🚀 +26% Oklo's CEO Jacob DeWitte made it clear this partnership reflects confidence in their ability to deliver clean and secure energy for mission-critical installations. Translation? The government trusts them to not mess this up. Stock soars, but analysts urge caution While Oklo's stock has shown crazy momentum—up 173% in just six months—InvestingPro has gently tapped the brakes.

This move could fast-track the licensing process and give Aurora reactors a serious advantage in upcoming projects. $OKLO has been picked by the U.S. Department of Defense to deliver clean power to Eielson AFB in Alaska through its Aurora microreactor under a long-term PPA. The project supports the Air Force's energy resilience push.$SMR $BWXT $RTX $LMT $GE They are also aligning with Washington's pro-nuclear vibes. Oklo supports the White House's executive orders to accelerate deployment of advanced nuclear tech, perfectly syncing with its vision to push America's energy independence agenda. Boardroom buzz and wall street love At its recent stockholder meeting, Oklo re-elected Michael Klein and Lt. Gen. (ret.) John Jansen to the board and locked in Deloitte & Touche LLP as its independent auditor. Wall Street is loving the momentum, William Blair just slapped an 'Outperform' rating on the company, while Craig Hallum sees major upside in Oklo's reactor revolution.
