Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson, is fighting a death penalty charge in federal court. His hearing is set for Friday, where his lawyers will argue against the murder charge that carries the death penalty. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to federal charges and is also facing state-level charges. The outcome could lead to life imprisonment if convicted. No trial date has been established yet for either case.
