Judge Dismisses State Terrorism Murder Charges Against Luigi Mangione

Justice Gregory Carro threw out the two terrorism-based murder counts against Luigi Mangione as legally insufficient but let the second-degree murder and weapons charges in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson stand.

Carro dismissed first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism and second-degree murder as a crime of terrorism, finding "the evidence put forth was legally insufficient"^[1]
"There was no evidence presented that defendant made any demands of government or sought any particular governmental policy change," Carro wrote in a 12-page ruling^[2]
Mangione still faced second-degree murder, carrying 25 years to life, and weapons counts; the DA's office said it would proceed on the remaining nine counts^[1][3]
Carro rejected the defence's double jeopardy argument, citing the two-sovereigns rule, and refused to pause the state case until the federal one was tried^[1]
