Latest Luigi Mangione Hearing Shrouded in Secrecy as Judge Shuts Out Press and Public
The judge gave no public explanation after closing the virtual proceeding, intensifying scrutiny over access in Mangione’s closely watched murder case.
- On Wednesday, New York Judge Gregory Carro held a virtual hearing regarding the Luigi Mangione murder case, sealing the proceeding from the public and press without explanation.
- Mangione faces state and federal charges for the Dec. 4, 2024, killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, with prosecutors successfully arguing that a 3D-printed pistol and notebook describing plans to "wack" an executive are admissible evidence.
- Reporters and lawyers, including Jeremy Chase, were rebuffed when seeking explanations for the seal, while Laura Italiano noted this is the third time in six months that court staff have silenced or ignored journalists seeking access.
- Following the secret proceeding, Carro announced the session was "sealed at the moment" and scheduled an in-person hearing for June 16 that will be open to the public.
- Mangione awaits his federal trial on Oct. 13, which involves stalking charges; if convicted in either case, the Ivy League graduate could spend his life in prison.
