A judge has dismissed the top counts in Luigi Mangione’s state murder case, rejecting prosecutors’ bid to charge the accused killer as a terrorist.
In a ruling released Tuesday, Judge Gregory Carro threw out charges of first-degree murder as an act of terrorism and second-degree murder as a crime of terrorism against the 27-year-old Ivy League graduate.
Carro allowed one count to stand: a second-degree murder charge alleging Mangione executed UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson in cold blood outside the company’s investor conference on Dec. 4, 2024.
“The People presented sufficient evidence that the defendant murdered Brian Thompson in a premeditated and calculated execution. That does not mean, however, that the defendant did so with terroristic intent,” Carro wrote in his decision.
The ruling means that Mangione still faces 25-years-to-life in the state case, but not the 25-years-to-life without the possibility of parole that he had been facing.
News of the ruling delighted Mangione’s supporters, who were waiting outside the courtroom, with many dancing and cheering the decision.
