Death penalty removed for Luigi Mangione, The Mangione Trial podcast - BBC World Service

Описание: Luigi Mangione will not face the death penalty if convicted of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a federal judge has ruled. Jordan Dunbar finds out more about the ruling and what it means for Mangione's case.

US District Judge Margaret Garnett dismissed the federal firearms charges against Mangione. These had carried the possibility of the death penalty. Judge Garnett left in place charges against Mangione that can still bring a maximum punishment of life in prison. She has given the US government 30 days to challenge her decision.

Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.
Jordan Dunbar speaks to the BBC's New York Correspondent Nada Tawfik and criminal defence attorney Todd Spodek.

We also find out more about the alleged attempt to break Mangione out of the Metropolitan Detention Centre.
