Luigi Mangione is the suspect in the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He is 26 years old and is facing multiple charges in New York, as well as federal charges, and charges in Pennsylvania.
Here's a breakdown of his most recent charges:

State Charges in New York: Mangione faces an 11-count indictment, including three counts of murder. These include first-degree murder, and two counts of second-degree murder, with one of the second-degree charges also related to terrorism. He also faces charges for criminal possession of a weapon. The first-degree murder charge, committed in furtherance of terrorism, could mean a sentence of life in prison without parole. The prosecution argues that Mangione committed the murder to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence government policy.

Federal Charges: The federal complaint charges him with four crimes: stalking in interstate commerce, stalking through use of interstate facilities, murder through the use of a firearm, and a firearms offense. The federal murder charge carries the possibility of the death penalty. The federal charges stem from Mangione allegedly traveling from Georgia to New York with the intent to kill and using a cell phone and internet to plan the crime.

Pennsylvania Charges: In Pennsylvania, Mangione is charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery, and providing false identification to police.
Additional Information:

Motive: Authorities say that Mangione had a handwritten manifesto expressing animosity towards the U.S. healthcare system and wealthy executives. His notebook contained statements such as "the target is insurance" and described an intent to "whack the CEO" of an insurance company. He also wrote "these parasites simply had it coming".

Evidence: Mangione was apprehended in Altuna, Pennsylvania, and was found in possession of a 3D printed gun, silencer, and a notebook. Multiple 9mm shell casings found at the crime scene had the words "deny," "delay," and "depose" written on them.

Public Reaction: There has been a significant public reaction to the case, with some people viewing Mangione as a martyr. This has raised concerns about jury nullification. Some have criticized the authorities for what they see as prioritizing the killing of a wealthy executive over the deaths of the anonymous poor.

Legal Strategy: Mangione's defense attorney has stated that her client is "overcharged" and that he is being treated unfairly because he is being "treated like a human pingpong ball" between the federal and state courts. She is also concerned about the public statements by government officials, such as the New York mayor, that could prejudice the jury pool.

Procedural Issues: It is still not clear whether the state or federal case will proceed first. There are also double jeopardy concerns related to being tried for the same crime in two different jurisdictions.
The charges against Mangione are complex, and the case is further complicated by the public interest and varying legal strategies.
