Attorneys for Luigi Mangione will ask a judge on Monday to prevent federal prosecutors from seeking execution.
The request is part of a critical hearing in the high-profile case. Mangione is accused of killing Brian Thompson, the CEO of the health insurance giant UnitedHealthcare.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has not yet announced if it will pursue the death penalty. Mangione’s legal team aims to stop that possibility before a formal decision is made.
The outcome of this hearing could shape the entire course of the trial. It is a key step in one of the most closely watched murder cases in recent years.
