Luigi Mangione pleads not guilty to UnitedHealthcare CEO killing state charges | NBC4 Washington
2 min read
Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty to murder and weapons charges in the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson during his arraignment on Monday morning.
The federal charges could carry the possibility of the death penalty, while the maximum sentence for the state charges is life in prison without parole. Prosecutors have said the state and federal cases will proceed on parallel tracks, with the state charges expected to go to trial first.
One of Mangione’s attorneys told the judge that government officials, including New York Mayor Eric Adams, have turned Mangione into a political pawn, robbing him of his rights as a defendant and tainting the jury pool.
“I am very concerned about my client’s right to a fair trial,” said Karen Friedman Agnifilo.
“This is a young man,” she said. “He is being treated like a human pingpong ball between warring jurisdictions here.”
