Luigi Mangione's lawyers reversed their decision to pursue a psychiatric defense in his state murder trial for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. They withdrew the extreme emotional disturbance claim, which could have reduced his potential sentence from murder to manslaughter. The trial is scheduled to begin on September 8.

Luigi Mangione will use an extreme emotional disturbance defense in his state murder trial for killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, which could result in a manslaughter conviction with up to 25 years in prison instead of a potential life sentence for murder. Judge Gregory Carro confirmed the defense strategy, which is not available in Mangione's separate federal trial, and stated the state trial is set to begin on September 8.

A judge in Luigi Mangione's New York state case held a sealed hearing at the request of the defense, despite press objections. Mangione faces trial for the 2024 shooting of healthcare executive Brian Thompson, with the state trial set for 8 September and a federal trial also pending. The killing sparked a manhunt and public anger toward the for-profit US healthcare industry.

A New York judge ruled that a gun and notebook found in Luigi Mangione's search can be used as evidence in his state murder trial. The ruling was made by Judge Gregory Carro on Monday. CBS News reported on the latest developments.
