COURTHOUSE,
June 16 – Luigi Mangione was
presented in Federal court on
December 19 on four charges,
one of them death penalty
eligible, for the killing of
UnitedHealth CEO Brian
Thompson. Inner City Press was
there, covering the case
toward a book.
On February 4,
death penalty qualified
(learned) counsel was
appointed for Mangione in
SDNY, endorsed letter on
Patreon here
On April 1 DOJ
announced it will seek the
death penalty against
Mangione.
In the
interim, after some push back,
Inner City Press published a
book Luigi Mangione Lone Wolf
here,
audiobook here.
On April 15 the
US responded to Mangione's
anti-death penalty filing with
a ripeness argument: "The
defendant has identified no
authority for the notion that
it can prevent the Government
from seeking capital
punishment before indictment."

On April
17, Inner City Press vlogged
in the morning to expect
something - and past 5 pm the SDNY prosecutors
docketed an indictment
of Mangione,
with "Special
Findings
Regarding the
Murder of Brian
Thompson" - here.
On
April 24 the
US filed
"NOTICE OF
INTENT TO SEEK
THE DEATH
PENALTY" -
here.
On
April 25 Inner
City Press
live tweeted
the
arraignment,
including
Karen Friedman
Agnifilo
saying the
defense will
move to have
the Federal
case go first
- and that a
telephone call
between
her and Mangione
was
inappropriately
monitored. Thread.
On
April 29 the US
Attorney's
Office said it
was "because
the defendant
spoke to his
counsel on a
recorded and
monitored jail
line (not a
line specially
designated for
attorney
calls)-

Patreon here
On June
16, some delay
but not of setting

Extension of
Time to File
as to Luigi
Nicholas
Mangione - Request
GRANTED.
Defendant's
motions due by

2025; the
Government's
response due
by October 31,
2 025;
Defendant's
reply due by
November 14,
2025.
Notwithstanding
the extension
of the motions
schedule, the
Court still
intends to set
a firm trial
date at the
December 5
Conference,
and all
counsel must
be prepared
for that
discussion."
