A New York state judge on Monday postponed Luigi Mangione's trial on murder and weapons charges related to the 2024 killing of a health insurance CEO. The delay came after Mangione pleaded guilty last week to separate federal charges.
The trial had been scheduled to start on Sept. 8. The judge's action effectively pushes back the state case without setting a new date at this time.
Mangione faces state charges in connection with the December 2024 shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan. Federal prosecutors have pursued additional counts against him in a separate proceeding.
The postponement follows Mangione's recent federal guilty plea, which alters the timeline for the parallel state prosecution. Court officials have not released further details on the next steps in the state matter.
