US Justice Department To Seek Death Penalty for Mangione

Luigi Mangione is the man who has been identified as the alleged suspect in the killing of Brian Thompson, the CEO of the United Health Care. Last Tuesday, the Justice department announced it will seek the death penalty for accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione. He has pleaded not guilty to the state charges, he was charged in a criminal federal complaint but has not been indicted on those charges. Trump indicated he wants to see the Justice Department to pursue the death penalty for Mangione. 

I feel like the system is very biased when it comes to things like this. Yes, Mangione was wrong if he really did kill the CEO. I don’t think he deserves the death penalty, especially if he was proven innocent for the state charges. It seems that he has been fully proven as guilty for this crime. Meanwhile, its people like Patrick Crusius, who drove all the way to EL Paso and killed 23 hispanics/latinos. This was a hate crime, before killing those people he posted a racist things online. Patrick was able to get a plea deal, when he was proven guilty of killing those innocent people. Not saying murder is right, I feel like the Justice system should stop being unfair when it comes to situations like this. Crusis committed a hate crime, if anything he deserves a death penalty instead of a plea deal. This just shows how unfair the system is when it comes to certain racial status.
