Luigi Mangione’s trial on New York state murder and weapons charges over the 2024 killing of a health insurance CEO was postponed on Monday, after the 28-year-old Ivy League graduate pleaded guilty<\/a> last week to separate federal charges.<\/p>\n

In court on Friday, Mangione for the first time admitted to shooting 50-year-old UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a brazen crime that was condemned by public officials but became emblematic of Americans’ frustration with health insurance industry practices.<\/p>\n

Mangione’s lawyers cited his guilty plea to the federal stalking charges he faced in urging New York state Justice Gregory Carro to dismiss the state charges.<\/p>\n

His lawyers argued that Mangione should not have to be punished for the same conduct twice under New York’s law prohibiting double jeopardy.<\/a><\/p>\n

The state trial had previously been scheduled to begin on September 8. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to the state charges.<\/p>\n

In a brief written order on Monday, Carro gave prosecutors until October 9 to respond to Mangione’s<\/a> motion. The judge set Mangione’s next appearance in state court for December 10, meaning the trial will not go forward next month.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the state charges against Mangione, referred to a Friday statement indicating that the office was prepared to litigate the defense motions. Mangione’s defense lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Mangione is due to be sentenced in his federal case<\/a> on December 18. Federal prosecutors said on Friday that they intend to seek a life sentence, the maximum allowable.<\/p>\n

In the state case, Mangione would face 25 years to life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luigi Mangione’s trial on New York state murder and weapons charges over the 2024 killing of a health…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":323511,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9348,4708,2803,259,9,24,55,54,56,750,820],"class_list":["post-323510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-assassination","tag-ceo","tag-court","tag-murder","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny","tag-trial","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323510","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=323510"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323510\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/323511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=323510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=323510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=323510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
