Luigi Mangione\u2019s federal case was pushed back from the fall<\/a> to early 2027 on Monday after a judge found the original timeline could conflict with his state murder case.<\/p>\n

At a brief hearing, Manhattan Federal Judge Margaret Garnett adjourned the federal trial to Jan. 5, saying Nov. 4 was no longer feasible, as Mangione may still be on trial across the street<\/a> in a prosecution being handled by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Jury selection starts in that case Sept. 8.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s simply impossible for us to be moving through the jury selection process in this case while the defendant and his counsel are fully occupied,\u201d the judge said.<\/p>\n

Referencing the \u201cdueling prosecutions,\u201d Karen Friedman-Agnifilo, leading Mangione\u2019s defense, told the court that his lawyers may have last-minute additions to the jury selection questionnaire, contingent on the outcome of the state trial.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe might ask the court to include other questions,\u201d the attorney said, \u201cdepending on how that goes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mangione, of Maryland, is accused of fatally shooting Thompson outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown on Dec. 4, 2024, in a violent protest of the U.S. health insurance industry.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old faces federal stalking offenses alleging he tracked the healthcare executive for weeks in late 2024. He was originally charged in the case with murder through use of a firearm \u2014 a capital offense \u2014 but Garnett dismissed the top count in January, finding it was legally unsupported by the other charges.<\/p>\n

In his state case, Mangione is charged with second-degree murder and related charges carrying 25 years to life in prison.<\/p>\n

Mangione wore khaki-colored prison clothing and was not shackled at Monday\u2019s brief proceeding, which lasted about 20 minutes. He was seen quietly conferring with his lawyers and appeared focused.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luigi Mangione\u2019s federal case was pushed back from the fall to early 2027 on Monday after a judge…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":281305,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[266,85,75,84,83,9,24,12,63],"class_list":["post-281304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-latest-headlines","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-news","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281304"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281304\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
