“Mercy deaths.” “Special wards.” Nazi medicine cloaked mass murder in euphemisms. The first gas chambers weren’t built at Auschwitz — they were built in hospitals.

The two dismissed murder charges required the prosecution to establish that Mangione committed "an act of terrorism," which the NY judge concluded the prosecution had failed to do. (Mangione still faces a NY second-degree murder charge and a federal prosecution.) www.nycourts.gov/legacypdfs/p...
Here, defendant argues that there is legally insufficient evidence of first-degree murder (alleging that the victim was killed in "furtherance of an act of terrorism"), and of second-degree
murder as a crime of terrorism, and urges that the court dismiss those two counts of the indictment. Defendant argues that both legislative intent and case law demonstrate that defendant's actions do not fit within the statute and that the People did not present legally sufficient evidence of those counts. The People argue that both counts are legally sufficient, and that terroristic intent was established because the defendant was not engaged in a "personal vendetta," but "violently broadcast a social and political message" that "inspired" threats to employees of UHC.
