COURTHOUSE,
Jan 9 – 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 9 SDNY
Judge Garnett held oral
argument, mostly on the
divisibility of the statute.
At the end two trial dates
were discussed: September 2026
if death penalty is taken off
the table (by Judge's ruling),
or January 2027 if it remains.

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.
After
handing in the letter and
getting it stamped at 10 am,
Inner City Press stayed in and
covered Justice Carro's
courtroom past 5 pm. Then:
Justice Carro
said, "Mr. Lee? Come up to the
rail." I did. He said, I've
read your letter. I intend
tomorrow to decide what part
of what is being presented
came be made public to the
Press. And on December 4 he
said it would happened (we
continue to await past 5 pm,
but believe). On the stand
December 4 was Officer Frye,
jousting with Jacob Kaplan.
How many more days?
On that, Dec 4
