A New York state \u2060judge on Monday \u2060effectively \u200bpostponed Luigi Mangione\u2019s trial on murder and weapons charges over \u2060the 2024 killing<\/a> of a health insurance company CEO, after Mangione pleaded \u2060guilty<\/a> last week to separate federal charges.<\/p>\n

The \u200btrial had \u200cpreviously been \u200cscheduled to begin on September 8. Mangione \u200chas pleaded not guilty to the state charges. Mangione\u2019s lawyers on Friday asked New York state justice Gregory Carro, who is overseeing the state case, \u200cto dismiss the charges.<\/p>\n

They argued that Mangione should not have to \u200bbe punished for the same conduct twice, under New York\u2019s law prohibiting double jeopardy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a brief written order on \u2060Monday, Carro gave prosecutors until 9 October \u200bto \u200brespond to Mangione\u2019s \u200bmotion. The judge set Mangione\u2019s next \u200bappearance in \u200cstate court \u200bfor \u200b10 December, meaning the trial will not go forward next month.<\/p>\n

Mangione, 28, confessed<\/a> that he shot and killed Brian Thompson outside a New York City hotel on 4 December 2024.<\/p>\n

He had a dispute with UnitedHealthcare, the US insurance giant Thompson ran, about his treatment for severe back pain and, he told the court<\/a> last week, had problems with \u201cnavigating the obstacles of the health insurance system and witnessing similar experiences of countless others\u201d.<\/p>\n

In his federal case, Mangione faced stalking charges, after other charges, including murder, were dropped.<\/p>\n
