Luigi Mangione因被控枪杀UnitedHealthcare首席执行官Brian Thompson而在纽约法院出庭[1]。法官Gregory Carro将在周二就审判的程序规则和案件其他方面做出决定[1],陪审团选择定于9月8日开始[1]。
Mangione对所有指控不认罪,包括二级谋杀罪和武器相关罪行[1]。若被判有罪,他可能面临数十年监禁[1]。法院已允许检控方在审判中出示枪支和含有Mangione涂鸦的笔记本作为关键证据[1],但已排除辩方从宾夕法尼亚州逮捕中获得的部分证据,包括枪杂志、手机、护照、钱包和计算机芯片[1]。辩方曾提议但随后撤回了"极端情感困扰"的抗辩理由[1]。
Luigi Mangione appeared in a New York courtroom to face charges in connection with the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare Chief Executive Officer Brian Thompson.[1] A judge is scheduled to rule on Tuesday regarding procedural matters and other aspects of the case.[1] Jury selection is set to commence on September 8.[1]
Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including second-degree murder and weapons-related offenses.[1] If convicted, he faces the possibility of serving decades in prison.[1] Judge Gregory Carro has ruled to allow prosecutors to present a firearm and a notebook containing Mangione's writings as key evidence during trial.[1] Evidence excluded from Mangione's Pennsylvania arrest—including a gun magazine, mobile phone, passport, wallet, and computer chip—will not be presented at trial, following a defense motion.[1]
The defense had previously proposed an "extreme emotional disturbance" defense but subsequently withdrew this argument.[1] New York state law prohibits live courtroom broadcasting of the proceedings.[1]
