Mangione Trial in Killing Could Begin This Year

Prosecutors seek death penalty against Luigi Mangione for stalking and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson; defense disputes alleged conflicts of interest involving Attorney General Pam Bondi.

  • A U.S. judge said the federal murder trial of Luigi Mangione may begin later this year; Mangione is accused of stalking and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
  • The defense argued in a three-week Manhattan Supreme Court hearing that Mangione sought to exclude writings and the alleged murder weapon found in his backpack, while alleging Attorney General Pam Bondi still benefits from a Ballard Partners 401k.
  • Evidence shows police recovered writings and the alleged murder weapon in Mangione's backpack, and Buckley wrote that the warrant disclosed the Altoona Police Department search with ample probable cause.
  • Luigi Mangione returns on Friday to Manhattan federal court, where prosecutors said they would seek the death penalty if convicted and opposed a separate evidentiary hearing Thursday.
  • The defense added Paresh Patel, defense expert on the federal stalking statute, to argue stalking is not a crime of violence, while prosecutors countered Ballard Partners made no contributions to Bondi's retirement and she gains nothing from a capital outcome.
