        By “something like this,” we mean kill one of the aristocracy. When a commoner kills a commoner, it’s tried by the local magistrates. When a commoner dares to kill an aristocrat, they must be tried in the high king’s court.

      NEW YORK – UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione appeared in federal court in New York City Thursday after waiving extradition in Pennsylvania.

      He faces four new federal charges, including murder, which could make him eligible for the death penalty. He is also facing multiple state charges.

      Mangione, 26, appeared in front of a federal judge in New York City just before 3 p.m. after being transported from Pennsylvania.
