Summary
Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty to federal murder and stalking charges in a case involving the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4, 2024. Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed prosecutors to seek the death penalty, describing the incident as a “premeditated, cold-blooded assassination.” The case has attracted significant public attention, with mixed reactions to Mangione’s alleged actions and concerns about the fairness of the judicial process, as two trials may proceed simultaneously.
