路易吉·曼吉奥内辩护方寻求驳回联合健康首席执行官谋杀案死刑指控
摘要
路易吉·曼吉奥内的律师已提交动议，要求驳回包括死刑适用条款在内的联邦指控，这些指控与2024年12月联合健康首席执行官布赖恩·汤普森被暗杀案有关。
代表路易吉·曼吉奥内的律师已向纽约联邦法官请求驳回对他的联邦起诉中的某些指控，特别是可能导致死刑的指控。曼吉奥内被控于2024年12月4日在曼哈顿一家酒店外暗杀联合健康首席执行官布赖恩·汤普森，当时汤普森正在参加一场投资者会议。
在动议中，辩护方认为，由于包括美国司法部长帕姆·邦迪在内的官员发表了大量公开评论，曼吉奥内的宪法权利受到侵犯。邦迪此前曾指示联邦检察官寻求死刑，称该行为为“预谋的、冷血的暗杀”。辩护方主张，这些言论已对案件产生偏见，使得公正审判无法实现。
此外，辩护方还寻求排除曼吉奥内向执法部门所作的陈述以及从其背包中获得的证据，该背包内含有一把枪支和弹药。他们声称，曼吉奥内在被讯问前未被告知其权利，且对其背包的搜查未经搜查令。
现年27岁的曼吉奥内对州和联邦指控均表示不认罪。此案引起了广泛的公众关注，尤其是因为现场发现的弹药上标有“delay”（拖延）、“deny”（拒绝）和“depose”（罢免）等字样，这些词汇常被用来批评保险行业。
检方尚未对辩护方的动议作出回应。相关事项的听证会定于12月举行。
