NEW YORK (AP) — New York prosecutors tried to use a 9/11-era terrorism law in their case against Luigi Mangione. But a judge ruled Tuesday that the state anti-terror statute doesn’t apply to the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive on a midtown Manhattan street last year.

The judge let murder and other charges stand against Mangione, who also faces a federal murder case in CEO Brian Thompson’s death.

What Mangione no longer faces are New York state charges of murder as an act of terrorism.

If it sounded like an unusual application of a terrorism law, it wasn’t a first. Such charges have been brought — and sometimes rejected — in other cases that weren’t about cross-border extremism or a plot to kill masses of people.
