CNBC^[1], 30 January 2026: Mangione "will not face a possible death penalty sentence", a judge "ruled Friday"; the Opinion & Order is signed "Dated: January 30, 2026".

Start: Jan 30, 202690% CONFIDENCEfrom the source

Judge Rules Out the Death Penalty for Luigi Mangione

US District Judge Margaret Garnett dismissed the two federal gun counts against Luigi Mangione, including the only death-eligible charge, leaving two stalking counts that carry up to life in prison.

Garnett dismissed Count Three (murder through use of a firearm, the capital-eligible count) and Count Four (a silencer-equipped firearm offence)^[1]
She held that the stalking crimes in Counts One and Two are not "crimes of violence" under Supreme Court precedent, an analysis she said "may strike the average person ... as tortured and strange"^[1][3]
The remaining stalking counts carry a maximum of life in prison without parole; the same day Garnett denied the motion to suppress the backpack seized in Altoona^[1][4]
Federal prosecutors said on 27 February 2026 they would not appeal, accepting the ruling that removed the death penalty^[2]
