SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 30 – 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 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."
The hearing went 11 to 12:30, about Altoona PD's policies for searches, ending with if an item found in a vehicle, go get a warrant. But not a bag? Judge Garnett called it helpful, "see you in a week."

And just before the full week, Judge Garnett dismissed counts 3 and 4 and with them, the death penalty. In the hearing live tweeted by Inner City Press she said the US might appeal, but if they don't, things will start in September. And the July 1 NYS date requested by Alvin Bragg? Watch this site.
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.
