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.
In the
interim, after some push back,
Inner City Press published a
book Luigi Mangione Lone Wolf

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)
