New York Judge Pushes Back Luigi Mangione’s Murder Trial

HeadlineAug 18, 2026

A New York judge pushed back Luigi Mangione’s state murder and weapons trial on Monday over the 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. This comes after Mangione pleaded guilty last Friday to federal stalking charges. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to the state charges. Mangione’s lawyers are arguing that he should not be punished for the same crime twice. The judge gave prosecutors until October 9 to answer Mangione’s motion and scheduled his next court appearance for December 10.
