Mangione still faces two federal stalking charges that carry sentences of possible life imprisonment, as well as state murder charges

A federal judge on Friday blocked prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, the man accused of gunning down a health insurance executive in New York in December 2024.

The judge dismissed two federal charges against Mangione that could carry the death penalty: murder and using a gun with a silencer.
