Mangione Erupts in Court Over 'Double Jeopardy' as Trial Dates Leapfrog

In New York, Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024, yelled in court after Manhattan Judge Gregory Carro set a state trial for June 8—leapfrogging an October federal trial—calling it 'double jeopardy by any common sense.' Mangione and his lawyers criticized the scheduling while he remains in custody facing dual prosecutions; prosecutors previously indicated he could avoid the death penalty after a major charge was dropped.
