In a significant development today, Luigi Mangione, the University of Pennsylvania graduate charged in the December 2024 shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, will not face the death penalty. A federal judge has dismissed the charges that could have carried capital punishment.

Mangione, who comes from a prominent Maryland family and was once valedictorian at the prestigious Gilman School, has been held without bail since his arrest in Altoona, Pennsylvania, days after the shooting.

In an unexpected twist that has authorities baffled, sources report that an individual impersonating a federal agent recently attempted to orchestrate Mangione's escape from detention.

"Dudes, this is absolutely wild!" said a lead investigator, clearly bewildered by the audacity of the failed prison break. "Someone actually showed up with fake government credentials and nearly convinced our guards to release the prisoner."

The impersonator, described as wearing an ill-fitting suit and sporting a questionable government badge, reportedly arrived at the facility claiming to be transferring Mangione to another location. Alert security personnel became suspicious when the individual couldn't properly pronounce "federal jurisdiction" and kept referring to the FBI as the "Friendly Bureau of Investigation."

Mangione, whose case has generated significant public attention with some viewing him as striking back against the health insurance industry, appeared unmoved by the news, reportedly stating, "At least I still got my life."
