SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 19 – 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.

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. Inner City Press live tweeted

On January 14 Judge Garnett set a 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."

On January 19 the defense proposed a letter to SDNY Judge Garnett that "the defense points the Court’s attention to the Ninth Circuit’s en banc decision in United States v. Gomez, __F.4th__, 2026 WL 90274 (9th Cir. Jan. 13, 2026) (en banc) - full filing on Patreon here

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.
