On Tuesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced her intention to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, charged with murdering UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson last December. This decision follows an executive order by President Trump to revitalize capital punishment requests. Bondi emphasized the premeditated nature of the crime, which she described as a shocking assassination of an innocent man, leaving behind a devastated family. Mangione, arrested shortly after the incident, meticulously planned the shooting by tracking Thompson’s movements in Manhattan.
