STORYLINE:
Attorneys for Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO, were seen departing a New York courthouse on Thursday.
His attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo said the dual state and federal cases puts the defense in a highly unusual situation. “Frankly I’ve never seen anything like what is happening here,” said Agnifilo.
She reserved the right to petition for bail at a later point. Agnifilo declined to comment as she left the courthouse.
The federal complaint filed Thursday charges him with two counts of stalking and one count each of murder through use of a firearm and a firearms offense. Murder by firearm carries the possibility of the death penalty, though federal prosecutors will determine whether to pursue that path in coming months.
In a New York state indictment filed earlier this week, Mangione was charged with murder as an act of terrorism, which carries a possible sentence of life in prison without parole. New York does not have the death penalty.
The 26-year-old Ivy League graduate is accused of ambushing and shooting Thompson on Dec. 4 outside a Manhattan hotel where the head of the United States’ largest medical insurance company was walking to an investor conference.
