Both sides seek more preparation time for the highly publicized murder trial

The 26-year-old accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last month will likely not return to a federal courtroom until mid-February.

The indictment date was initially scheduled for Jan. 18, but after both parties agreed in a letter to the court, it was changed to Feb. 17. Before his federal indictment, Luigi Mangione was handed a criminal complaint detailing the charges against him.

On Wednesday, the prosecution and defense in the criminal case agreed to postpone court proceedings to give each party more time to prepare before trial. According to The Associated Press, prosecutors have said both cases will work on a “parallel track,” with the state trial predicted to begin first.

On Dec. 23, 2024, in a New York courtroom, Mangione entered a plea of not guilty to multiple state charges, including murder as an act of terrorism. Additionally, he faces federal charges brought by the U.S. Justice Department, including stalking and using a firearm to commit murder, with the death penalty as a potential outcome.

        Right and left “went quiet”. And by that, I mean that most billionaire-owned media sources are broadly banning commentary.

        I have zero reason to believe that conservative acolytes of St. Luigi have actually diminished.

      He could rape their kids live on CSPAN and they’d line up to lick his asshole and thank him for the honor.

      lol Trump will just have to say something like “oh and people are saying folks let me tell you, Luigi, we don’t like this guy Luigi. Folks the things I’ve heard about Luigi from the smartest people. Really the best people have been on it and here’s the thing about Luigi. Not the best guy. Turns out we thought we loved him, we don’t love him. I don’t know what happens next I really don’t. It’s really not up to me, it’s a New York thing. New York doesn’t like me, New York doesn’t like Luigi; what can you do”
