Luigi Mangione's lawyers file to dismiss state charges citing double jeopardy
Mangione's lawyers filed paperwork to dismiss his state case about an hour after he admitted to two federal stalking charges.
Manhattan prosecutors argued that federal stalking crimes and state murder offenses do not overlap in a manner that would trigger state double jeopardy protections.
Double-jeopardy protection under the US constitution does not bar state prosecution for the same crimes as a federal case, and vice versa.
