LUIGI MANGIONE FACE THE DEATH PENALTY?
A death penalty expert has been appointed to the defense team of Luigi Mangione, the man accused of shooting UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson.
During a brief order on Tuesday, Federal Judge Katherine Parker decided that Avraham Markowitz, an expert in capital cases, will look into Mangione’s federal case.
One of his federal charges, murder through use of a firearm, is eligible for the death penalty.
Mangione, 26, is accused of fatally shooting Thompson, 50, on December 4 outside of the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan while the CEO made his way to an investor conference.
A spokesperson for his attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo told ABC News she is ‘pleased’ to have Markowitz join the case.
‘The Agnifilo Intrater team is pleased to have Avi Moskowitz lend his considerable expertise in death penalty cases to Mr. Mangione’s federal case as “learned counsel”,’ a spokesperson for the firm told the outlet.
‘The charges could not be more serious and our client needs every resource at his disposal to fight these unprecedented charges in three jurisdictions.’
Mangione, who is currently locked up at Brooklyn’s infamous Metropolitan Center, pleaded not guilty to the 11 charges in his indictment, including first-degree murder and murder as an act of terrorism.

Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, Mister Guitar (1924)June 20, 2026
Atkins got his first guitar by making a trade with his brother, and it was arguably the best deal he ever made. Although he struggled with shyness and suffered from severe asthma—he had to sleep sitting up and often fell asleep still holding his guitar—he became an accomplished guitarist and went on to release several hit records, develop a signature line of guitars, and help create country music's "Nashville sound." What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?
