Event Summary

Luigi Mangione appeared in a Manhattan courtroom for the last scheduled pre-trial conference before jury selection in his state murder case for the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Judge Gregory Carro rejected defense claims about limited trial access and confirmed an overflow room. Mangione's defense withdrew its planned extreme emotional disturbance defense after the judge required disclosure of psychiatric records. Prosecutors and defense discussed a possible guilty plea in the federal case in June, but negotiations stopped. Mangione faces life in prison if convicted in the state case.
