Judges Push Mangione Trials to Fall, Setting State for Sept. 8 and Federal for Oct. 5

The shift aims to prevent the federal schedule from colliding with a separate New York case.

Overview

  • U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett reset the federal case, with jury selection on October 5 and opening statements expected late October or early November.
  • New York Judge Gregory Carro moved the state trial to September 8 to keep the two proceedings from overlapping.
  • The case stems from the December 2024 shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside the Hilton Midtown in Manhattan, followed by Mangione's arrest five days later in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
  • Mangione has pleaded not guilty to federal second-degree murder and related counts and he remains in custody.
  • Upcoming appearances include federal court on May 18 and state court on June 5, according to the reports.
