Luigi Mangon did not find himself guilty of federal charges of the killing of the CEO of UNITEDHEALTHARECARE BRIAN Thompson, after prosecutors officially announced their intention to achieve the death penalty for him.
26 -year -old mangon stood up with his lawyer and bent towards the microphone when the US provincial judge, Margaret Garnet, asked him if he understood the indictment and charges against him.
“Yes.” When asked if he wanted to acknowledge guilt, mangon simply answered: “Not guilty” and sat in his place.
In December of last year, the official operation of Manjone of Murder attracted several dozens of people to the federal court in Manhattan, including Chelsea Manning, an intelligence analyst in the former army, who served about seven years in prison to steal secret diplomatic missions.
Since the arrest of a mangun, a federal prison has been contained in Brooklyn.
Late Thursday evening, Federal prosecutors made a notification of intention to the death penalty.
This happened a few weeks after the announcement of the US Prosecutor Bam Bondi that she would undertake the federal prosecutors to obtain the death penalty for what he called “the act of political violence” and “deliberate and cold killing that shocked America.”
This is the first time that the Ministry of Justice has sought the death penalty since President Donald Trump returned to power on January 20, and promised to appeal the execution of death sentences at the federal level after it was prevented by the Biden administration.
Mandijon’s lawyers claimed that Bondi’s statement was a “political trick” that destroyed the process of a large jury and deprived him of the constitutional right in an appropriate legal procedure.
They tried to prevent prosecutors for the death penalty.
The federal accusation of mangun includes murder with firearms, which stipulates the possibility of a death penalty.
The indictment, which is a mirror reflection of a criminal case established after the arrest of a mangun, also concerns persecution and crime using weapons.
Mangon, league graduate of Boachsh of the famous brokers family from Maryland, was charged with separate murder allegations at the federal level and at the state level. According to the authorities, 50 -year -old Thompson shot at the hotel in Manhattan on December 4, when he arrived at the annual investor conference in United.
The evaluation of killing in the state stipulates the maximum sentence in life imprisonment.
In video recordings of surveillance cameras, you can see how the mask shoots in Thompson from the back.
The police claim that the phrase “delay” (delay), “refusal” (refusal) and “nullification” (withdrawn), imitates the phrases is usually used to describe how insurance companies avoid payments on demands for cartridges.
The five -day killing and research operations that led to the arrest of business community mangon: some insurance companies have deleted pictures of managers from their sites and the transformation into groups of online shareholders.
At the same time, some critics of medical insurance around mangun united as a symbol of discontent over rejection of insurance coverage and huge medical calculations.
Mangon was arrested on December 9th in Atheon, Pennsylvania, about 370 km west of New York, and was handed over to Manhattan by plane and helicopter.
According to the police, Manjone had a 9 mm pistol coinciding with what was used in the shooting, and other elements, including a notebook, as it expressed its hostility to the medical insurance industry and the wealthy leaders.
