BREAKING: New York Judge Drops Terrorism Charges Against UnitedHealthCare CEO Killer Luigi Mangione

A New York judge on Tuesday dropped the state terrorism charges against UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione.

ABC News reported:

A judge dismissed two murder charges related to acts of terrorism as Luigi Mangione, the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, made his first Manhattan courtroom appearance in five months on Tuesday.

Judge Gregory Carro tossed out the most severe charge, first-degree murder, accusing Mangione of murder as a crime of terrorism.

The judge said the evidence presented to the grand jury was insufficient to support the terrorism charge.

Carro also tossed a second-degree murder charge, related to killing as an act of terrorism.

The rest of the indictment remains, with the judge refusing to dismiss another second-degree murder charge, to which the accused killer has pleaded not guilty.

As previously reported, UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson was shot in the chest in December 2024 outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan in what is believed to be a targeted attack.

Thompson, 50, arrived before 7 am for a conference when he was shot at multiple times by a masked man who police say was waiting for him to arrive, the New York Post reported.

Thompson was pronounced dead at the Mt. Sinai Hospital.

Chilling surveillance video shows Luigi Mangione methodically getting into position as Brian Thompson walked in front of the Manhattan Hilton Hotel.

Mangione fired several rounds at Brian Thompson, causing him to stumble, before shooting him again.

Luigi Mangione was anti-Capitalist, ranted about the healthcare industry’s massive profits and believes in climate change.
