Why is Luigi Mangione potentially facing the death penalty for the murder of one person when other murderers with similar crimes get jain time?

Please no snarky comments of 'you know why' , 'it's because the guy was rich' etc... There HAS to be a reason why his crime is getting sentenced so heavily that doesn't have to do with the net worth of his victim, or at least I hope there is.

In my city, a drunk driver kills two people in a car and he's sentenced to jail for 20 years and gets out in 12 for good behaviour.

Luigi kills one man and is facing the death penalty?

I don't understand, he didn't kidnap, rape or torture, I've heard of murderers who rape and murder their victims get sentenced to jail.

The OP compared Mangione's crime to a Drunk Driver committing vehicular homicide. Mangione's crime was meticulously planned, pre-mediated murder.

Would you support pre-meditated murder against a planned parenthood executive?

Cool. Next time someone wants to go commit a violent act we as a nation will have them ask you if it’s ok first.
