Event Summary

U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett granted Luigi Mangione a slight delay in his federal trial for the killing of UnitedHealth Group===UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson, moving it from September to October. Mangione's lawyers had sought a longer postponement until 2027, arguing that back-to-back federal and state trials would violate his constitutional rights, but this was rejected. The decision was tied to the schedule of Mangione's state murder trial, set to begin in June. Judge Garnett previously dismissed a federal murder charge that allowed for capital punishment, leaving stalking charges that carry a maximum punishment of life in prison. Brian Thompson was killed on December 4, 2024, as he walked to UnitedHealth Group's annual investor conference.
