Originally Published by: New research follows online memes of Luigi Mangione in normalizing left-wing violence Luigi Mangione prosecutors directed to seek death penalty in federal CEO murder case Brian Thompson's 'premeditated' attack and suspect's getaway: timeline Lawyers for suspected assassin Luigi Mangione, an Ivy League graduate accused of gunning down Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare in New York City, have filed a motion in federal court asking the judge to block the Justice Department from pursuing the death penalty if he is convicted. Mangione’s lawyers argued that the federal case, which was filed after New York prosecutors leveled their own murder and terrorism charges against him, is “arbitrary and capricious” and that the directive for US attorneys to seek capital punishment is politically motivated. In a second argument, they also took issue with a Justice Department Instagram post in which the language suggested that Mangione has already been convicted of the charges — he has not — and that such language prejudiced the grand jury process, which could still be underway with the deadline to file an indictment coming next week.
