Elevator snafu delays Mangione's federal trial to 2027
Luigi Mangione, the 28-year-old accused killer of UnitedHealth Group executive Brian Thompson, was stuck in a Manhattan courthouse elevator for about 20 minutes, prompting Judge Margaret Garnett to push his federal murder trial from October 2026 to January 2027 to avoid overlapping with a separate state case set to begin in September; Mangione has pleaded not guilty.
