A federal judge in New York has agreed to dismiss federal murder charges against Luigi Mangione. This takes the potential death penalty off the table.Lawyers for accused assassin Luigi Mangione had continued to bolster their legal arguments to have the most serious charges against him thrown outThe ruling came shortly before the 27-year-old was due back in court Friday morning for a status conference.Although oral arguments already took place, the defense has aggressively argued in subsequent filings that prosecutors have failed to allege an underlying "crime of violence" necessary for the top charge of murder through use of a firearm. That is the only charge Mangione faces that carries the potential death penalty.
I'm still waiting for the 2013 Boston Marathon bomber to ride the lightning.
