Politico Playbook reported on U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announcing that she wants prosecution to seek the death penalty against Mangione if he's convicted.

The death penalty is also banned in the District of Columbia and in 22 other states, aside from New Jersey. In New York, the death penalty was outlawed in 2004 by a state court ruling. This means that New York prosecutors cannot pursue the death penalty in the case of Luigi Mangione.
