A federal judge in Manhattan ruled on Friday that prosecutors cannot seek the death penalty in the trial of Luigi Mangione, 27, who has been accused of killing former UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Judge Margaret Garnett said the case would proceed on the other counts, which carry a potential life sentence.
Attorney General Pam Bondi had sought the death penalty for Mangione, which she said was warranted because Mangione executed a “premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America.”
Mangione’s defense attorneys had argued before the judge that Bondi’s previous work as a lobbyist for a firm that represented the insurer’s parent company was a “profound conflict of interest.”
