flag Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare's CEO, faces state murder charges while a federal death penalty case is pending, with a Feb. 21 court date to decide legal next steps.

flag Luigi Mangione, a 27-year-old Ivy League graduate accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024, is due in court on February 21, 2025, as his lawyers seek to dismiss state murder charges, citing double jeopardy due to a parallel federal death penalty prosecution. flag The court will also set a trial date and determine whether the state or federal case proceeds first. flag Mangione, who has drawn a following among those critical of the health insurance industry, has pleaded not guilty and faces multiple charges, including murder as an act of terrorism. flag His defense seeks to dismiss terrorism charges and bar use of evidence from his December arrest, including a handgun and a notebook detailing his intentions. flag Prosecutors argue no double jeopardy applies since neither case has gone to trial and the legal theories differ.
