"Acting Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro set a start date of June 8 for the state case, but said that he would push it back to Sept. 8 if the federal government is willing to do the same in order to give the state more time. Carro on Friday alluded to the previous presumption that the state case would go first."
"Mangione, who is accused of shooting and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside the midtown Manhattan Hilton on Dec. 4, 2024, faces federal stalking charges the lone counts left after U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett last week dismissed two death penalty-eligible charges in addition to his state murder case. Garnett said the federal trial would begin in September. Manhattan District Attorney prosecutors instigated a push to begin Mangione's state trial even earlier."
Acting Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro set Luigi Mangione's state murder trial to begin June 8, offering to delay to Sept. 8 if the federal government agrees to the same. Mangione is accused of shooting and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Dec. 4, 2024, and faces federal stalking charges after U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett dismissed two death penalty-eligible counts. Garnett scheduled the federal trial for September and declined to coordinate timing unless contacted by state prosecutors. Manhattan prosecutors pushed for an earlier state start. Defense attorneys said pretrial motions and federal jury requirements prevent readiness for a June trial.
