Luigi Mangione, 28, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is set to plead not guilty in both state and federal trials, with his defense team arguing he acted under extreme emotional disturbance — not insanity — potentially reducing his charge to manslaughter and shortening his sentence. The judge delayed ruling on the defense after Mangione wasn’t properly notified, and while the state trial begins September 8, his federal trial on stalking charges is October 13. Evidence includes a 3D-printed gun and a notebook hinting at a motive against health insurers — and a previously dismissed gun magazine charge. With life in prison on the line, this case could reshape how emotional disturbance defenses are handled in high-profile crimes.
