Attorney General Pam Bondi Seeks Death Penalty for Luigi Mangione in CEO Murder Case

 Attorney General Pam Bondi has called for Luigi Mangione to be charged with a capital offense, seeking the death penalty. The 26-year-old is accused of fatally shooting Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, near Times Square in New York last December. After a five-day manhunt, Mangione was apprehended in Pennsylvania on multiple state and federal charges.

Bondi's request pertains to federal charges of murder, stalking, and possession of a firearm, which, in extreme cases, could result in the death penalty. In contrast, the maximum penalty for state crimes is life in prison. "The premeditated, cold-blooded assassination of Brian Thompson, an innocent man and father of two young children, by Luigi Mangione shocked America. After careful review, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as part of President Trump’s initiative to combat violent crime and Make America Safe Again,” Bondi stated in a release posted on the DOJ’s website.

Bondi is advocating for the death penalty, citing murder as an act of political violence. She emphasized that Mangione's actions were well-planned and premeditated and that the murder occurred in public with bystanders nearby, potentially endangering additional lives. During the investigation, authorities retraced Mangione’s steps in New York. They discovered that, upon his arrest, he owned false identification, the weapon allegedly used in the killing, and a three-page manifesto in which he outlined his motives.
