SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 16 – Luigi Mangione was presented in Federal court on December 19 on four charges, one of them death penalty eligible, for the killing of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson. Inner City Press was there, covering the case toward a book, Lone Wolf.
On December 23 Mangione was bought shackled into state court for arraignment, in a red sweater and white shirt just like his lawyer. Inner City Press live tweeted it, last step toward Lone Wolf Book 1, here. Thread
Jump cut to September 16, 2025 back in state court (while the Fed's go for the death penalty), thread:
9:28 am Luigi Mangione is led in by court security, this time wearing the tan jail uniform of MDC-Brooklyn jail.
Justice Carro: I reviewed things. As to Court 1 and 2, murder under the terrorism statute, the evidence before the grand jury was legally insufficient
Judge Carro: As to the other charge(s), the evidence before the grand jury was sufficient. I am not convinced by the request to stay this case. Let's set a schedule. Come on up
[Now, a whispered sidebar before Justice Carro. Court security stands behind Luigi Mangione at defense table.
ustice Carro: All sides agree that we will begin the hearings in this case on Dec 1. Mangione's lawyer Friedman Agnifilo: We challenge the subpoena Justice Carro: The People are precluded from using that for now. Friedman Agnifilo: We wish to view the property
Judge: December 1, then. Adjourned
