Attorneys for Luigi Mangione asked a judge to stop federal prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against their client, saying the U.S. government “intends to kill Mr. Mangione as a political stunt.”
The motion filed Friday in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District said U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered the death penalty to “carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again.”
Mangione, 26, who faces state murder and terrorism charges in New York, along with federal murder and stalking charges, is accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year in New York City.
They may succeed in silencing him, but they will never silence his supporters, which grow by the day. He is already a martyr.
As far as I’m concerned he’s an American hero. A real patriot that took injustice and tyranny into his own hands.
I have a different persepective. ⁰He’s a paradox - An American hero who is totally innocent of the crime of which he is accused.
Thats my story and Im sticking with it.
