Luigi Mangione appeared Tuesday morning in a New York courtroom where plans were nearly finalized for his state murder trial, which the judge has ruled will have an anonymous jury.
Mangione, 28, has pleaded not guilty to several state charges in connection with the December 2024 fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside the New York Hilton Midtown.
At Tuesday’s hearing, Justice Gregory Carro ordered the parties to team up on crafting a jury questionnaire — a task that could prove challenging given the case’s notoriety. Jury selection is set to begin Sept. 8, and the trial is expected to last about six weeks.
If convicted, Mangione faces up to life in prison.
