Luigi Mangione waives extradition to New York

• The case sparked nationwide attention, culminating in Mangione's arrest in Pennsylvania last week days after Thompson was shot and killed in New York City.
• Mangione, a University of Pennsylvania graduate and member of a wealthy Baltimore family, has been glorified by some social media users, a trend New York officials have condemned.

Driving the news: Mangione formally waived extradition Thursday in Blair County courthouse, per several reports after initially fighting the process. He'll be transported to New York without returning to Huntingdon State Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania.

• He could appear in front of a New York City judge in just a matter of hours, CBS News New York reported.
• The 11 charges he faces in New York include one count of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder, one of which is charged as "killing as an act of terrorism."
• He faces a maximum penalty of life in prison without parole, per Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office.
