Attorney General Seeks Death Penalty for Luigi Mangione
By Hannah Parry
The Justice Department has said that it is seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangione.
Mangione, the 26-year-old charged in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City on December 4, 2024, faces federal murder charges that can carry the death penalty.
On Tuesday, Attorney General Pamela Bondi she that after "careful consideration" she had directed prosecutors to seek capital punishment, "as we carry out President Trump's agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again."
Bondi said in her statement that the murder of Thompson was "an act of political violence."
Mangione has become something of a folk hero for a segment of progressives who see him as taking action against an industry long hated by large swaths of the population.
