Luigi Mangione's Court Outburst as Judge Sets June Trial Date in High-Profile Case
Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had an outburst in a New York court as a judge set a June 8 trial date for the state case against him. The federal government had initially agreed to let the state trial proceed first, but set a federal trial date for September 8, potentially delaying the state trial. Mangione's defense argues that the overlapping state and federal prosecutions put him in a double jeopardy situation. The judge ruled that the federal trial could be delayed if the government appeals the dismissal of charges eligible for the death penalty. Mangione, who has pleaded not guilty, is facing both federal and state charges for the 2024 killing.
