"The hearing will take place before Judge Gregory Carro at New York County Criminal Courthouse on Dec. 1 in advance of Mangione's state murder trial. He is also being prosecuted for the shooting in federal court. During Monday's hearing, ABC News reported, Mangione's attorneys are expected to argue against certain evidence that prosecutors for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg intend to present before the jury. The evidence includes writing in a notebook Mangione kept, excerpts of which have already gone public, which seemed to establish an apparent motive for the assassination."
"Prosecutors said Thompson, a Minnesota resident who was in town for a conference, was ambushed by a killer who lay in wait and shot him dead with bullets inscribed with the words Deny, Defend, Depose common jargon used by health insurance companies in protesting certain claims. Mangione, who resided in Maryland, apparently traveled to New York days earlier and allegedly shot Thompson dead with a 3D-printed ghost gun. Following a nationwide manhunt, he was picked up by police days later in Altoona, PA, and subsequently extradited to the Big Apple."
Luigi Mangione is accused of fatally shooting United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Midtown hotel on Dec. 4, 2024. A pretrial hearing is scheduled before Judge Gregory Carro on Dec. 1 in New York County Criminal Court as part of the state murder prosecution, with separate federal charges pending. Prosecutors plan to introduce notebook writings and other evidence that allegedly show motive. Investigators say Thompson was ambushed and shot with bullets inscribed “Deny, Defend, Depose.” Mangione allegedly traveled from Maryland with a 3D-printed ghost gun, was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and extradited to New York amid intense media attention.
