New York prosecutors seek to sustain their case against Luigi Mangione, despite his federal plea

Prosecutors argue that the separate incidents, harms and purposes warrant continued proceedings, while Mangione's defense claims double jeopardy is at play. The federal plea has already resulted in a looming prison sentence, which a state conviction could further extend.
