The federal judge scheduled jury selection to begin on January 5,2027,with the trial expected to last two to three weeks,postponing the original October date. Mangione, who denies the charges, has pleaded not guilty in both cases.His appearance was delayed after he was stuck in an elevator, and he did not speak at the hearing. The delay comes as his defense considered a psychiatric defense,which they later withdrew,though they may still present mental health evidence. The court emphasized that concurrently participating in the federal and state trials is impractical. Jury questionnaires from Manhattan, the Bronx, and neighboring areas will be collected in December to form the jury pool.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4608882\/luigi-mangione-over-1-million-donations-legal-fund\/\">Luigi Mangione<\/a> will not face a federal trial over the murder of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/healthcare\/\">UnitedHealthcare<\/a> CEO Brian Thompson until January 2027, after a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cair-official-declares-u-s-jewish-groups-synagogues-enemies\/\" title=\"CAIR Official Declares U.S. Jewish Groups, Synagogues \u2018Enemies\u2019\">federal judge concluded<\/a> that the defendant\u2019s state murder trial makes it difficult to proceed on the original timetable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett announced Monday that jury selection in the federal case will begin Jan. 5, 2027, with opening statements scheduled for Jan. 25.

State prosecutors have charged him with murder and weapons offenses, while federal prosecutors allege he stalked Thompson before carrying out the killing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mangione, wearing beige jail clothing, did not speak during Monday\u2019s roughly 20-minute hearing.

whether his attorneys would <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/4612353\/luigi-mangione-psychiatric-defense-murder-trial\/\">pursue a psychiatric defense<\/a>, which would essentially force him to admit to the murder of Thompson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a June 17 hearing, New York Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro disclosed that defense attorneys had filed notice of a possible \u201cextreme emotional disturbance\u201d defense, which could reduce a murder conviction to manslaughter under New York law.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad
