Why prosecutors charged Luigi Mangione with terrorism and a judge said no

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 .
