Mangione’s federal trial moved to January amid sprawling jury prep
TL;DR
A judge postponed Luigi Mangione’s federal trial to January 2027 because the extensive jury-selection process for the high-profile case wouldn’t fit before November. Opening arguments are now set for Jan. 25, 2027, after a weeks-long selection and an enlarged panel of six alternates. Mangione, 28, has pleaded not guilty to federal stalking in the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson; a separate state-court case is planned for September.
