Event Summary

The federal trial of Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson, has been postponed to January 2027 by U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett. The delay is to allow Luigi Mangione's lawyers, Karen Friedman Agnifilo and Karen Friedman Agnifilo, to focus on his state murder trial, which is scheduled to begin in September. The hearing itself was delayed by 20 minutes because Luigi Mangione got stuck in a courthouse elevator. Luigi Mangione has pleaded not guilty to both state and federal charges.
