UnitedHealthcare CEO Killing Suspect Charged with First-Degree Murder as Act of Terrorism
ai generated text
Luigi Mangione has been charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Brian Thompson, the CEO of a health insurance company. The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, stated that the killing was intended to evoke terror and was a well-planned and targeted attack. A grand jury indicted Mangione on 11 counts, including first-degree murder and murder, and he is also charged with multiple counts of criminal possession of a weapon. Additionally, Mangione has been charged with terrorism and is scheduled to appear in court on December 19. The indictment supersedes the initial complaint.
We don't celebrate murders and we don't lionise the killing of anyone.
Let me say plainly: there is no heroism in what Mangione did.
In the nearly two weeks since Mr Thompson's killing, we have seen a shocking and appalling celebration of cold-blooded murder.
We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson, and we ask people to pray for all involved.
We allege he ... took out a nine-millimeter 3D-printed ghost gun equipped with a 3D-printed suppressor and shot [Thompson] once in the back and once in the leg.
We have indications that the defendant may waive that hearing, in which case he will be brought to New York forthwith.
We are ready to fight these charges in whatever court they are brought.
Frankly I've never seen anything like what is happening here.
The federal government's reported decision to pile on top of an already overcharged first-degree murder and state terror case is highly unusual and raises serious constitutional and statutory double jeopardy concerns.
