Alleged killer Luigi Mangione returned to court in Pennsylvania for an extradition hearing.
The 26-year-old has been charged in New York City with the murder of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan.
Mangione was indicted on a charge of murder as an act of terrorism, under a state law that allows harsher penalties when a killing is aimed at frightening citizens or influencing government.
He will face two hearings Thursday – the first on forgery and firearms charges in Pennsylvania.
The second hearing will focus on whether Mangione will be extradited to New York to face murder charges. Mangione’s lawyer previously said the alleged killer would fight extradition, but he is now expected to waive extradition.
