SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 14 – 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.
On April 1 DOJ announced it will seek the death penalty against Mangione.
In the interim, after some push back, Inner City Press published a book Luigi Mangione Lone Wolf here, now Amazon here

On January 9 SDNY Judge Garnett held oral argument, mostly on the divisibility of the statute. At the end two trial dates were discussed: September 2026 if death penalty is taken off the table (by Judge's ruling), or January 2027 if it remains. Inner City Press live tweeted
On January 12 Judge Garnett said an Altoona PD witness and hearing will be necessary: "the Court hereby ORDERS the Government to produce for a hearing an officer of the Altoona Police Department with sufficient authority and experience to testify about the established or standardized procedures in use by the Department in December 2024 for securing, safeguarding, and, if applicable, inventorying the personal property of a person arrested in a public place."
On January 14 Judge Garnett set the hearing for January 23 at 11 am: "as to Luigi Nicholas Mangione: The suppression hearing referenced in the Court's January 12 Order (Dkt. No. 90) will be held on Friday, January 23, 2026 at 11:00 a.m."
In the state case late on December 2 Inner City Press emailed, then on December 3 faxed and hand-delivered, a letter asking to be heard and for unsealing, here.
