In a significant ruling, Luigi Mangione won’t face the death penalty after a judge stated that the stalking charges against him do not qualify as a“crime of violence.”This crucial decision means that Mangione can only be federally charged with stalking, which carries a maximum penalty of life without parole. While the news is a relief for him, he still has to contend with murder charges in New York, where the death penalty isn’t even on the table.

But it’s not all sunshine and roses for Mangione; prosecutors have successfully managed to admit some compelling evidence into trial, including a firearm and a diary that prosecutors describe as akin to a manifesto. So, while Mangione breathes a little easier today, the courtroom drama is poised to unfold with plenty of twists ahead, making for a riveting watch as the story progresses. After all, that diary of his might just read like the script of a thriller movie!
