Luigi Mangione will not face the death penalty if found guilty of killing UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive in 2024.

Judge Margaret Garnett dismissed the two death-eligible counts from Mangione’s indictment today, despite pushes for it by prosecutors.

Garnett threw out the murder through use of a firearm charge because it requires that the killing was committed during another ‘crime of violence’.
