'Luigi Mangione, the man charged in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's murder in New York City, will be arraigned on federal charges next Friday, April 25.

Mangione was indicted Thursday on two counts of stalking, a firearms offense and murder through the use of a firearm.

If convicted, the last charge is eligible for the death penalty, which federal prosecutors say they plan to pursue.''

i do think DP is taking it too far, and i wonder if it won’t cause backlash for prosecution. jmo.
I have mixed emotions on the DP, but LM had no problem delivering a DP sentence to Brian Thompson, so there's that.

LM is wearing a tan prison jumpsuit and his hands are cuffed behind his back.

No crowds of fans today according to BBC.

The supporters who were in the courtroom have been put into an overflow room to make room for reporters covering the case.

A few people are outside of the court.

Can they choose to send him to life in prison instead of the DP? Or does a guilty verdict mean he will get the DP? I would hate to see him get off due to someone not wanting to inflict the DP (even though they are asked if they can as part of jury screening, I believe).

Death penalty has to be voted on unanimously by the jury. If he doesn't get the death penalty, at the federal level he'll get life. Either way, he'll probably die in prison.

From what I've read from people who attended the federal arraignment, he was smiling, smirking at some points, and in general seemed happy. I wonder how long it will take for the arrogance to end. Will it be after he is locked up in his new home, a high security federal prison? The media circus will end,<modsnip: unnecessary namecalling> and that's when the reality may hit that he really blew it. He may realize that instead of enjoying life with his millions, traveling, having fun with friends and starting a family of his own, he's stuck in a concrete box and being told by some guard when to wake up, when to eat, when to work, and who he shares a cell with. IMO, that may be the point when he really regrets his decision.

I wonder if his lead attorney, and maybe the entire defense team, is playing into LM's bravado attitude in the courtroom. The defense team may really believe they will be able to convince a jury to find LM not guilty of the charges against him based on the public's attitude toward the health insurance industry. If that is the case, then I think they are doing a disservice to their client. LM is facing the death penalty or life in prison and during his court appearances he doesn't appear to show that he takes the charges seriously. He murdered a man in cold blood, the father of two young men, and a family and community that loved him. The attitude he is displaying in court minimizes the seriousness of the situation and if I was a member of a jury in this case, I would wonder if he would do something like this again, he shows no remorse or indication that he understands the seriousness of what he has done.

"The Commonwealth avers that police at all times acted within the authority bestowed by law," prosecutors wrote in a new court filing responding to a defense assertion that Mangione's arrest was illegal.

Mangione has claimed police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, gave him "a specious and unreasonable" explanation for why officers approached him and failed to read him his Miranda rights when he was taken into custody on Dec. 9, 2024.

"The officers had valid reasonable suspicion to support an investigatory detention to identify who Defendant-Mangione was and whether he was a homicide suspect," the filing, signed by Blair County District Attorney Peter Weeks, said. "Defendant-Mangione voluntary (sic) speaks to officers without police compulsion and willingly provides them with is forged identification. In fact, at no time does Defendant-Mangione ask to leave, attempt to leave or try to disengage from the detention."

There is no doubt he understands the seriousness of what he has done- but I think he believes he can find a jury that will secretly agree with what he did-- they will have to be very proficient at weeding out stealth jurors!!! I imagine the prosecution will not want many young women on the jury- for obvious reasons.
