COURTHOUSE,
May 11 – 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

On March 2, the

On April 1 Judge
Garnett held a proceeding, and
Inner City Press again live
tweeted. The jury
questionnaire deadlines were
moved up, ending June 5 in
deference to Justice Carro's
June 8 trial date, and move
the Federal trial from October
13 to October 26 or November
2.
And then, later
on April 1, Justice Carro
changed his trial date from
June 8 to September 8,
possibly requiring another
SDNY proceeding and change.
What explains Justice Carro's
timing? See book on Carro's
proceedings here,
and Inner City Press' April 2
morning vlog.
After 5 pm on
April 2, Judge Garnett
docketed her trial schedule,
evidence start November 4.

On May 11, the US
Attorney's Office filed
opposition to some proposed
jury selection questions,
including "Disputed Question
14(a)—which asks jurors to
list, among other personal
details, the ages, genders,
occupations, and education
histories of their children—is
unnecessarily intrusive. The
Government does not object to
Question 14, which asks
whether a juror has children.
• Disputed Question 15 asks
jurors about how often they
attend religious services.
This question is inappropriate
because a juror’s religious
practices have no bearing on
the juror’s fitness to serve"
