"In December 2024, UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed outside a Hilton hotel in New York City. A little over a week after the shooting, police identified and located Mangione before bringing him in. The 27-year-old has remained in police custody as he awaits trial for Thompson's murder. Last week, it was reported that Mangione would avoid the death penalty if convicted after a judge dropped one of the major charges against him."
"It was at this hearing that Carro set a state trial date of June 8. Mangione was already set to face a federal trial in October. A report from the New York Post detailed the scene of the courtroom: The 27-year-old Ivy League grad was left fuming after Manhattan state Judge Gregory Carro set the early trial date leapfrogging a separate October trial date set by the feds in the Southern District of New York."
Luigi Mangione, 27, was arrested after police identified him a little over a week following the December 2024 shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Hilton hotel in New York City. Mangione has remained in police custody awaiting trial for Thompson's murder. A judge previously dropped a major charge that would have allowed the death penalty, meaning Mangione would avoid capital punishment if convicted. Manhattan state Judge Gregory Carro set a state trial date of June 8. Mangione is also scheduled to face a federal trial in October. Mangione and his attorney argued the dual prosecutions violate the Double Jeopardy Clause.
