Mangione faces charges in Manhattan of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a forged instrument.
According to the indictment, Mangione arrived in the city in late November with a plan to kill Thompson. Prosecutors say Mangione, a resident of Hawaii who police said was motivated by anger at the health care industry, waited for Thompson outside a Midtown hotel Dec.4, then shot him from behind with an untraceable ghost gun. |
