(New York, New York) – The federal trial of Luigi Mangione, the man accused in the killing of a health care executive, has been pushed back to 2027, according to a court order.
A federal judge approved the delay after a separate New York state judge moved the timeline of Mangione’s state case, creating scheduling conflicts for his legal team. Attorneys argued they would not have enough time to properly prepare for both proceedings if they remained on overlapping tracks.
Under the new schedule, jury selection for the federal case is expected to begin in early January 2027, with the trial set to run later that month into mid-February. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges tied to the case.
Prosecutors allege Mangione fatally shot the CEO of UnitedHealthcare in Manhattan in 2024. The case has drawn national attention, in part due to claims from the defense that law enforcement actions surrounding his arrest created undue publicity.
The federal case has already seen significant developments, including the dismissal of certain charges that could have allowed prosecutors to pursue the death penalty. However, other serious charges remain, and Mangione could still face life in prison if convicted.
