In short:
Luigi Mangione has pleaded not guilty to state murder and terror charges.
Mr Mangione is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel.
What’s next?
Prosecutors say the state case is expected to run parallel to a federal prosecution.
Probably the “I’m not guilty of this exact crime” defense. The burden of proof for murder 1, let alone terrorism, is a lot higher than murder 2.
In effect he’s saying “I may have murdered him, but I didn’t murder 1 him.”
At least if I’m understanding Legal Eagle correctly.
