Mangione’s lawyers seek to drop death penalty charge, citing conflict involving Florida’s AG.

Luigi Mangione’s defense team has filed a motion to dismiss the death penalty charge, alleging a conflict of interest involving Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, citing her public statements on the case and potential financial ties. The motion, led by New York attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo, argues Bondi’s involvement may compromise impartiality. The Justice Department has not commented. The case, tied to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, remains under review with no ruling yet issued.
