State trial in US health insurance CEO murder to begin June 8 — media

New York state judge Greg Carro has set June 8 as the date for Luigi Mangione's trial. The setting comes amid a dispute over the scheduling of another federal trial linked to the murder of Brian Thompson. Mangione is charged with killing Thompson in December 2024 and faces charges at both the state and federal levels.

Mangione's arrest came five days after the crime was committed, but despite having an avid fan base that often attends his hearings, he has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The trial will take place following a spat between state and federal prosecutors over when the case should be heard, with Mangione himself stating that it is the same trial twice.

At the state level, Mangione faces charges of murder, which carry the potential for life imprisonment without parole if convicted. At the federal level, he faces the same punishment after a US judge barred prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against him.

The killing was captured on video and highlighted public anger toward private healthcare systems in the United States.
