NEW YORK — A judge in New York on Monday gave prosecutors at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office until Oct. 9 to respond to Luigi Mangione’s motion to dismiss his state murder indictment<\/a>, effectively meaning that Mangione’s state murder trial — which had been set to begin on Sept. 8 — is adjourned.<\/p>\n

Judge Gregory Carro set Dec. 10 as the next possible court date.<\/p>\n

Mangione is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court eight days later, on Dec. 18, and\u00a0faces\u00a0a maximum sentence of\u00a0life\u00a0in prison.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Mangione pleaded guilty to both federal stalking counts in his federal case<\/a> and admitted to shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024.<\/p>\n

“I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan and he died,” he said in court, adding, “I knew what I was doing was illegal.”<\/p>\n

Immediately following Mangione’s guilty plea,\u00a0his attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the charges he’s facing in state court under New York’s double jeopardy law.<\/p>\n

“New York law does not permit a person to be prosecuted and punished twice for the exact same crime under a statute that governs successive prosecutions,” defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo told reporters Friday.<\/p>\n

Mangione pleaded not guilty\u00a0in his state case and was set to go on trial on charges of murder in the second-degree, criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second-degree, and multiple counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second-degree, third-degree and fourth-degree.<\/p>\n
