The Manhattan district attorney's office has argued that Luigi Mangione should face trial in state court, asserting that such a proceeding would hold him accountable for a different type of harm than what was covered by his federal guilty plea. The office's argument was detailed in a court filing on Friday.
This filing opposes Mangione's attempt to have his state indictment dismissed. The indictment charges him with the murder of Brian Thompson, the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, which occurred in December 2024.
