Grand Jury Indicts Luigi Mangione; Charge Could Lead to Death Sentence

HeadlineApr 18, 2025

Here in New York, a federal grand jury indicted Luigi Mangione, charging him with stalking and murder through the use of a firearm in the December shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The murder charge holds a possible death penalty sentence, if convicted. Mangione’s lawyer accused Attorney General Pam Bondi of “prejudicing” the grand jury when she signaled recently she would seek the death penalty for Mangione. Mangione’s defense said, “The stakes could not be higher. The United States government intends to kill Mr. Mangione as a political stunt.”
