NBC News - Luigi Mangione extradited to New York

Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has been extradited to New York after waiving his right to an extradition hearing. He arrived at McArthur Airport in Long Island and is expected to be taken to a federal courthouse to face charges. Mangione's legal proceedings began in Pennsylvania, where he faced hearings on firearm and forgery charges, as well as his extradition. His lawyer stated they are preparing to defend against charges in both New York and Pennsylvania. The Manhattan District Attorney plans to file an 11-count indictment, including first-degree murder and charges related to terrorism. The federal charges, if proven, could lead to a death penalty. The priority will be the trial in the Manhattan District Court, which could take several months to commence. If convicted, Mangione could face life imprisonment without parole.
