The judge decided jurors can see the notebook that was found in Mangione
MANHATTAN (CN) — Federal prosecutors declined to revive their push for the death penalty in Luigi Mangione's murder case Friday, roughly a month after a judge tossed the capital punishment charge for the accused UnitedHealthcare CEO slayer. The court threw out two counts against Mangione that would have made him eligible for the death penalty. Luigi Mangione's federal murder trial in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson will begin with jury selection on Sept. 8.
