Overview
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Tuesday that federal prosecutors will seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last December. Bondi deemed the murder a 'premeditated, cold-blooded assassination' and an act of political violence that shocked the nation. Mangione now faces multiple charges, including terrorism. His attorney criticized the DOJ's decision as 'barbaric,' and the push for the death penalty raises questions about public sentiment, as many view the healthcare industry with disdain. Despite New York's lack of a state death penalty, Mangione's case will proceed in federal court.
