Luigi Mangione’s lawyers asked a judge Wednesday to postpone his federal trial in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson until early next year and indicated they will seek to delay his state murder trial until September.
In a letter to U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett, Mangione’s attorneys said the current schedule, with the state trial set for June and the federal trial in September, would put him “in the position of needing to prepare for two complicated and serious trials at the same time.”
