This week, prosecutors charged Luigi Mangione with first-degree murder and terrorism-related offenses in the high-profile killing of UnitedHealthcare's chief executive in Manhattan.
Federal prosecutors determined that having parallel charges could complicate the legal process, with the potential for differing outcomes in state and federal trials.
Jessica Roth notes that simultaneous prosecutions are not uncommon in high-profile murder cases, particularly when there are concerns about state resources or penalties.
If convicted on state charges, Mangione could face life without parole, while federal convictions carry the risk of the death penalty.
