Luigi Mangione will not face a possible death penalty sentence in the New York federal criminal case where he is charged with killing health insurance CEO Brian Thompson, a judge ruled Friday.
Manhattan U.S. District Court Judge Margaret Garnett, in an order on Friday, dismissed two of the four criminal counts Mangione faced in the case.
The potential maximum sentence for the remaining two counts for causing Thompson’s death under federal stalking laws is “life without prison without parole,” Garnett noted.
