- Justice Gregory Carro directed that jurors’ identities be kept secret and authorized an overflow courtroom to provide public and media access without crowding the main chamber.
- Jury selection for Luigi Mangione’s New York state murder trial is scheduled to begin on September 8 and the trial is expected to run for several weeks.
- The defense recently withdrew a planned “extreme emotional disturbance” psychiatric notice after the judge ordered disclosure of psychiatric records.
- A judge has ruled key items seized at arrest may be admitted at trial, including a 3D‑printed pistol and a notebook prosecutors say contains writings about targeting a health‑insurance executive.
- Federal prosecutors and Mangione’s lawyers jointly requested a federal conference for Aug. 14, prompting speculation about plea talks and raising questions about how any federal resolution could affect the state case.
