COURTHOUSE,
March 2 – 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 would seek the
death penalty against
Mangione. But SDNY Judge
Margaret Garnett dismissed the
death eligible charges, and
set an October 13 court date.
After some
push back, Inner City Press
published a book Luigi

On
February 6 NYS Justice Gregory
Carro convened a hearing and,
after a long whispered
sidebar, announced that NY and
he should go first, on June 8.
Karen Friedman Agnifilo said
that was too fast, and said
she would raise double
jeopardy.
Luigi Mangione
while being led out said it's
common sense, that's double
jeopardy
