New York prosecutors sought Friday to keep their murder case going against Luigi Mangione, arguing that his federal guilty plea shouldn’t end a separate, state-court case over the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The state and federal prosecutions center on “different harms, different evils, different purposes, different crimes,” Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Joel Seidemann and colleagues wrote in a court filing.
Mangione’s defense lawyers are trying to get the state murder and weapons charges thrown out, citing double jeopardy. It’s the legal precept that broadly prevents a person from being repeatedly prosecuted for the same crime, though the particulars can be complicated and disputed when different courts are involved.

Hey fam, your xpost link doesn’t render properly because it has an “@“ symbol in it.
Ugh, really? That’s strange, it seems to work in my app (Summit). It’s actually just the default way Summit does crossposts. Guess I’ll have to start fixing that.
It’s probably a bug in the share link logic - mind sharing the app store link? I’ll dive for a PR.
Could be a Piefed thing, too.
Here’s the repo, but I do see that the owner isn’t currently accepting PRs (in the readme): https://github.com/idunnololz/summit
