Luigi Mangione waived his extradition rights and is heading to New York to face eleven murder charges, including first-degree murder and murder as an act of terrorism.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg described the case as involving a "frightening, well-planned, targeted murder" intended "to evoke terror," highlighting the severity of the crime.
The prosecution is invoking a post-9/11 anti-terrorism law, arguing the murder aimed to intimidate civilians and influence government policy, which could lead to a life sentence.
Upon his arrest, Mangione possessed a manifesto critiquing health insurance companies as "parasitic," which he claimed justified his planned attack as targeted and precise.
