(CNN) \u2014 Luigi Mangione\u2019s trial on state charges for the alleged murder of a healthcare chief executive is scheduled to begin in June, three months before he is scheduled to face federal charges.<\/p>\n
Judge Gregory Carro accelerated the timeline for Mangione Friday after the Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s office had requested the trial start on July 1.<\/p>\n
Last week, after a federal judge set Mangione\u2019s trial for September, the district attorney\u2019s office urged Carro to let them go first. The DA\u2019s office argued the state has a \u201cdeep interest\u201d in going to trial first since they led the investigation, interviewed witnesses, and obtained the first indictment.<\/p>\n
If the federal trial date is pushed back \u2013 which could happen if prosecutors appeal the judge\u2019s ruling that dropped the death penalty \u2013 the state trial will then begin on September 8, Carro said.<\/p>\n
Mangione\u2019s defense team previously said they needed the time to prepare for the federal case.<\/p>\n
Mangione faces life in prison if convicted of the most serious state or federal charges.<\/p>\n
As Mangione was leaving the courtroom, he said, \u201cSame trial twice. One plus one equals two. Double jeopardy by any common sense definition\u201d<\/p>\n
This is a developing story and will be updated.<\/p>\n
