On Monday, Judge Gregory Carro issued an order requiring prosecutors to respond by October 9 to Luigi Mangione’s legal team’s request to dismiss state charges. This delay impacts Mangione’s murder trial in New York state court.
Mangione had appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court on August 11 for a pre-trial hearing. His case is connected to the death of Brian Thompson, UnitedHealthcare CEO. Previously, Mangione pleaded guilty in federal court to stalking charges related to this incident.
This development affects the timeline of the state murder trial as the court evaluates the arguments about jurisdiction following the federal plea.
