Luigi Mangione<\/a> has escaped the death penalty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The accused killer’s life will be spared after federal prosecutors on Friday said they will not appeal a judge’s ruling to quash capital punishment against him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a letter, the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Southern District said it accepts U.S. District Judge Margarett Garnett\u2018s Jan. 30 decision to toss the death-penalty-eligible murder charge against Mangione, who is accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson on Dec. 4, 2024.<\/p>\n

Despite not being tried on murder charges, Mangione still faces two federal stalking charges.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jury selection is scheduled to begin on September 8th.\u00a0 Opening statements will begin in October.<\/p>\n

Mangione, 27, also faces life in prison at a separate murder trial in state court slated to begin in June. He has pleaded not guilty to Thompson’s killing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In order to charge Mangione with the federal charge<\/a> of murder through use of a firearm, prosecutors need an underlying crime of violence, Garnett said in her January ruling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Garnett wrote that she was bound by Supreme Court<\/a> precedent.<\/p>\n

“Over the course of the last two decades or so, the Supreme Court has embarked upon a legal journey, explained herein, that now requires lower courts to engage in an analysis totally divorced from the conduct at issue and centered on the hypothetically least serious conduct that the charged crime could possibly cover,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

Surveillance cameras recorded the slaying. Video footage showed Thompson walking down a Manhattan sidewalk<\/a> outside a hotel when a gunman approached him from behind and opened fire.<\/p>\n

Thompson suffered multiple gunshot wounds<\/u><\/a> and collapsed to the ground. The gunman fled and was later spotted making his way uptown on a bicycle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
