Carro stated prosecutors had not provided sufficient evidence to support the terrorism-related charges. He ruled that the second-degree murder<\/a><\/span> charge against Mangione would proceed.\n<\/p>\n Carro also said that the two murder charges could not be considered terrorism because Mangione had not “made any demands of government or sought any particular governmental policy change.”\n<\/p>\n Specifically, Carro dismissed the charges of first-degree murder and second-degree murder, while allowing another count of second-degree murder to stand. In a written decision posted during the brief proceeding, he wrote: “Counts one and two, charging [the] defendant with murder in the first degree (in furtherance of an act of terrorism) and murder in the second degree as a crime of terrorism, are dismissed as legally insufficient. The people presented legally sufficient evidence of all other counts, including murder in the second degree (intentional).”\n<\/p>\n The Manhattan district attorney’s office published a response: “We respect the Court’s decision and will proceed on the remaining nine counts, including Murder in the Second Degree.”\n<\/p>\n In addition to the New York state proceedings, Mangione also faces federal murder charges, which could lead to the death penalty, according to The Guardian<\/a><\/i> and the BBC<\/a><\/i>.\n<\/p>\n Mangione was present for the decision, in his prison uniform and shackles, according to The Guardian<\/a><\/i>.\n<\/p>\n Mangione allegedly killed Thompson in December 2024 in Manhattan<\/a>. Thompson served as the CEO<\/a><\/span> of United Healthcare<\/a><\/span>.\n<\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n #York #judge #rules #terrorism #charges #legally #insufficient #Mangione #case<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From Wikinews, the free news s… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":649,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/962"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Crime](\"https:\/\/en.wikinews.org\/wiki\/File:Scale_of_justice_2.svg\")
