An official notice was submitted to search for the death penalty for Luigi Mangione
American Federal Public Prosecutors made an official notice to seek the death penalty in front of Luigi Mangion, the man accused of shooting a health care coach in New York.
Prosecutors in the deposit argue that 26 -year -old CEO of UNITEDHEALTHARECAE Brian Thompson “to amplify an ideological message” and a study of resistance to the health insurance industry.
This step was taken just hours before his hearing on four federal charges later on Friday.
Previously, the lawyer of the Monjion called for the decision to seek the “barbaric” death penalty.
Mr. Thompson was shot outside a hotel on December 4. Mr. Mangion was arrested a few days later in Pennsylvania after chasing the country.
He has already acknowledged that he was not guilty of state charges and is awaiting trial in New York Prison.
Public Prosecutor Bam Bondi said in April that she had directed federal prosecutors to obtain a death penalty in the case of Mr. Mangion on charges of devastating in cold blood.
She added that the murder of Mr. Thompson was “a political act” and it may “be a great danger to death for additional people” near.
The lawyer of the Mangion, Karen Friedman Agunefilo, accused the government of “defending the broken, immoral and fighting health care industry”, and said that its client had fell in the rope between the state prosecutors and the federal prosecutors.
“While claiming to protect against murder, the federal government is transferring to the murder of the state’s sponsorship from Luigi in advance.”
Investigators argue that Mr. Mangion was enthusiastic about the killing of Mr. Thompson, 50, due to the anger of American health insurance companies.
In the death penalty, official notice was presented on Thursday, the general prosecutors say that Mr. Manjians pose a threat in the future because of his intention to target the health care industry and support the assembly for it through violence.
Mr. Mangion faces 11 criminal charges in the state in New York, including killing and first -degree killing as a crime of terrorism.
If he is convicted of all charges, it will face a mandatory penalty from life imprisonment without the possibility of conditional release.
But federal prosecutors separately accused Mr. Mangarians for using a firearm to commit a murder and a chase between the states resulting from death. These accusations make him eligible for the death penalty.
Prosecutors said that federal issues and government issues will move forward in parallel with each other.
Mr. Thompson was shot at the back by a convincing striker in December while he was walking in a hotel where the company he led was holding a meeting for investors.
The country led the country to the police to Mr. Manji, five days later, hundreds of miles away from McDonald’s in Altona, Pennsylvania.
The accident sparked a charged discussion on how the American health care system works.
Some Americans, who are paying health care more than people in any other country, have expressed their anger at what they see as unfair treatment by insurance companies.
