Luigi Mangione will assert a psychiatric defense in his state murder trial in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the judge overseeing the case said at a hearing on Wednesday.
New York State Judge Gregory Carro said he would be unsealing a notice from September regarding affirmative psychiatric defense and emotional disturbance at the time of the killing.
Mangione appeared in the courtroom on Wednesday wearing a dark navy suit and a button-down shirt. He looked down and was handcuffed when he walked into the room.
