Last December Mangione was indicted on 11 criminal counts, including first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism, for the ambush killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg previously outlined the charges in a statement, revealing that the New York State Supreme Court indictment includes:
Murder in the First Degree, a class A-I felony, one count
Murder in the Second Degree, a class A-I felony, two counts
Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree, as class C felony, two counts
Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Third Degree, a class D felony, four counts
Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree, a class E felony, one count
Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument in the Second Degree, a class D felony, one count
The judge dismissed two terrorism charges on Tuesday, citing lack of sufficient evidence.
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.
