The man accused of fatally shooting the CEO of UnitedHealthcare in New York City, Luigi Mangione, is scheduled to appear in court for the first time since his December arraignment on state murder and terror charges. The hearing is set to take place in state court in Manhattan, where prosecutors and defense lawyers are expected to provide updates on the case. Judge Gregory Carro may set deadlines for pretrial paperwork and potentially a trial date.
Mangione, 26, has pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of murder, including murder as an act of terrorism, in the killing of Brian Thompson outside a midtown Manhattan hotel on December 4. The executive was ambushed and shot on a sidewalk as he walked to an investor conference.
