Fox News: Could UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione face death penalty?
Luigi Mangione, 26, is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York. Experts indicate federal charges are unlikely, as murder typically falls under state jurisdiction unless specific federal criteria are met.
New York abolished the death penalty two decades ago, meaning even if federal charges were pursued, capital punishment wouldn't be an option. The case is expected to be prosecuted locally by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office, which has already built a strong case against Mangione.
