Jury selection in Luigi Mangione murder trial set for 8 September
AI Summary
Luigi Mangione's federal murder trial for the killing of United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson is set to begin with jury selection on September 8 in Manhattan. Mangione's arrest followed Thompson's shooting, which sparked public anger towards the for-profit healthcare industry. The trial schedule depends on whether Mangione will face the death penalty, with opening arguments potentially starting October 13 if the death penalty is off the table, or January 11, 2027, if it remains a possibility. A hearing was held regarding the legality of the search of Mangione's backpack during his arrest in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where police found a firearm, loaded magazine, and notebook; Mangione's defense argues the search was illegal and the evidence should be suppressed.
