Manhattan Prosecutors Fight Bid to Dismiss Mangione Murder Case

Manhattan prosecutors urged a judge to keep Luigi Mangione's state murder case over the 4 December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. They say his 14 August guilty plea to federal stalking charges doesn't block New York charges, citing the state's double-jeopardy exception — which allows separate prosecutions for different, non-overlapping offenses.
