Federal Judge Postpones Luigi Mangione Trial to October to Coordinate with State Case

U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett delayed the federal trial of Luigi Mangione until October 5. Mangione is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The federal case will now follow a state-level murder trial scheduled for June [(/news/2026-04-1128598643)].
