ABC News reported that New York prosecutors are seeking to sustain their murder case against Luigi Mangione.

The same report said that the state and federal prosecutions center on “different harms, different evils, different purposes, different crimes,” Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Joel Seidemann and colleagues wrote in a court filing.

It also noted that Mangione's defense lawyers are trying to get the state murder and weapons charges thrown out, citing double jeopardy .

The account added that it's the legal precept that broadly prevents a person from being repeatedly prosecuted for the same crime, though the particulars can be complicated and disputed when different courts are involved.
