Mangione faces hearing ahead of trial over US health insurance CEO's killing
The judge said the delay will let Mangione focus on his state murder case, while jury selection in the federal case moves to Jan. 5.
- On Monday, Luigi Mangione appeared in Manhattan federal court for a pretrial hearing focused on scheduling and proposed juror questionnaires ahead of his trial for the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
- Defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo denied recent reports that prosecutors and Mangione's legal team discussed a potential plea deal, as he faces both state and federal charges and has pleaded not guilty in both cases.
- Agnifilo criticized the leaks as part of a "troubling, deliberate pattern" to "prejudice Luigi," adding that "every defendant in America is presumed innocent until proven guilty, including Luigi, who... has to fight the same charges twice."
- Mangione's state trial is set to begin Sept. 8 before Justice Gregory Carro in Manhattan, while his federal trial is not expected until next year as U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett addresses juror questionnaire concerns.
- Supporters continue gathering outside the courthouse in solidarity, as the high-profile case remains emblematic of frustration felt by many Americans regarding rising healthcare costs and insurance industry practices.
