Luigi Mangione’s lawyers have asked a judge to postpone his federal trial in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson until early next year and say they will seek to have his state murder trial delayed until September. In a Wednesday letter to U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett, Mangione’s lawyers said the current schedule — the state trial in June and the federal trial in September — puts him “in the position of needing to prepare for two complicated and serious trials at the same time.” They asked Garnett to delay the federal trial until January 2027 so that they can then have an opportunity to ask to move the state trial from June 8 to Sept. 8.
