Will Luigi Mangione face the death penalty? What New York law says
December 13, 2024
In New York, a first-degree murder charge applies only where the victim is a first responder like a police officer, or if the killing involves a murder-for-hire or aims to prevent a witness to a crime from testifying in court; or if the murder is an act of terrorism. In Mangione’s case, a first-degree murder will be imposed if the investigation finds evidence that he had plans to kill other CEOs etc.
