Judge Gregory Carro did not throw out the entirety of the murder charges against Mangione, but said two of the most serious charges - murder in the first degree as a crime of terrorism and a second-degree charge related to terrorism - were not proven by the prosecution's case presented to a grand jury. The judge indicated that just because Mangione may have been motivated by ideological opposition to the for-profit industry, that does not de facto make it terrorism under New York statute.
