COURTHOUSE,
Jan 30 – Luigi Mangione was
presented in Federal court on
December 19 on four charges,
one of them death penalty
eligible, for the killing of
UnitedHealth CEO Brian
Thompson. Inner City Press was
there, covering the case
toward a book.
On April 1 DOJ
announced it will seek the
death penalty against
Mangione.
In the
interim, after some push back,
Inner City Press published a

On January 14
Judge Garnett set the hearing
for January 23 at 11 am: "as
to Luigi Nicholas Mangione:
The suppression hearing
referenced in the Court's
January 12 Order (Dkt. No. 90)
will be held on Friday,
January 23, 2026 at 11:00
a.m."
The hearing went
11 to 12:30, about Altoona
PD's policies for searches,
ending with if an item found
in a vehicle, go get a
warrant. But not a bag? Judge
Garnett called it helpful,
"see you in a week."

And just before
the full week, Judge Garnett
dismissed counts 3 and 4 and
with them, the death penalty.
In the hearing live tweeted by
Inner City Press she said the
US might appeal, but if they
don't, things will start in
September. And the July 1 NYS
date requested by Alvin Bragg?

In the state case
late on December 2 Inner City
Press emailed, then on
December 3 faxed and
hand-delivered, a letter
asking to be heard and for
unsealing, here.
