路易吉·曼乔内(Luigi Mangione)的州审判周三从6月推迟到9月,几个小时前,他的联邦审判从9月推迟到10月。
该州案件的法官格雷戈里·卡罗(Gregory Carro)没有给出将开始时间推迟到9月8日的理由,但辩方一直要求这样做。
周三早些时候,美国地区法官玛格丽特·加内特(Margaret Garnett)在一次听证会上表示,联邦审判原定于9月进行,现在将于10月5日开始挑选陪审团,并于10月26日提交证据。
“不管我们喜欢与否,我们在某种程度上受州案件事件的支配,”加内特说,并指出,在那个时候,曼乔内的州审判定于6月8日。
加内特说:“在100 Centre(州法院)发生的事情不可避免地会影响我们如何在这里组织事情,以便被告能够得到公平的审判。”。
加内特说,她不想被州检察机关“扣为人质”,但她说,她对让潜在陪审员在州审判的强光下填写问卷的“效用”有“一些停顿”。
加内特说:“考虑到州案件中涉及同一被告的事件,真的没有办法。”。
目前还不清楚卡罗推迟州案件的决定是否会使联邦案件中的另一个行动成为必要。
曼乔内因涉嫌于2024年12月在曼哈顿中城枪杀联合医疗集团首席执行官布莱恩·汤普森而被捕,他对州和联邦指控不认罪。
27岁的曼乔内如果被判有罪,将面临终身监禁。加内特先前抛出了可能被判死刑的联邦指控,卡罗先前抛出了对州谋杀指控的强化,称曼乔内被指控的行为相当于恐怖主义。
Luigi Mangione's state trial pushed from June to September, federal trial pushed from September to October
Luigi Mangione’s state trial was pushed back Wednesday from June to September, hours after his federal trial was pushed back from September to October.
Judge Gregory Carro, the judge in the state case, gave no reason for delaying the start to Sept. 8, but the defense had been requesting it.
Earlier on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett said at a hearing that the federal trial -- which had been set for September -- would now begin jury selection on Oct. 5 and presentation of evidence on Oct. 26.
"Whether we like it or not, we are somewhat at the mercy of events in the state case," Garnett said, noting that, at that time,Mangione's state trial was scheduled for June 8.
"What is happening at 100 Centre [the state courthouse] inevitably affects how we structure things here so the defendant can get a fair trial," Garnett said.
Garnett said she did not want to be "held hostage" by the state prosecution, but she said she had "some pause" about the "utility" of having potential jurors fill out questionnaires in the glare of the state trial.
“There’s really no way around taking into account the events in the state case involving the same defendant,” Garnett said.
It is unclear whether Carro's decision to delay the state case will necessitate another move in the federal case.
Mangione pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges after he was arrested for allegedly gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan in December 2024.
Mangione, 27, faces the possibility of life in prison if he's convicted in either case. Garnett previously threw out the federal charges that carry the possibility of the death penalty and Carro previously tossed out an enhancement to the state murder charges that said Mangione's alleged conduct amounted to terrorism.
