Judge Dismisses Most Serious Murder Charge Against Mangione
"A New York state judge dismissed the most serious charge against Luigi Mangione, ruling that the evidence was insufficient to charge him with murder as an act of terrorism.
But Judge Gregory Carro at a brief hearing Tuesday allowed prosecutors to pursue second-degree murder charges and several other counts against Mangione, who is accused of gunning down health-care executive Brian Thompson. The ruling means that the 27-year-old won’t face the prospect of life in prison without parole.
Mangione still faces federal murder charges in a case in which prosecutors are seeking the death penalty."
