Luigi Mangione wants state murder case dropped, arguing double jeopardy in UnitedHealthcare killing.

Lawyers also want terrorism charges dismissed and prosecutors barred from using evidence collected during Mangione ’s arrest last December .

Mangione is due back in court for the state case on June 26 , when a judge is expected to rule on the dismissal request.

In their filing Thursday , Mangione’s lawyers argued that the conflicting theories of the state and federal cases — intending to “intimidate or coerce a civilian population” vs. stalking a single person — has created a “legal quagmire” that makes it “legally and logistically impossible to defend against them simultaneously.” “This situation is so constitutionally fraught that we are hard pressed to find precedent for such an unprecedented situation,” Mangione’s lawyers wrote.
