- Mangione returns to federal court on Friday as U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett will soon decide key pretrial issues, while Judge Gregory Carro said he would not rule until May 18.
- U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett scheduled federal jury selection for Sept. 8, with the trial in October or, if the death penalty remains, beginning Jan. 11, 2027, and the defense says it needs the rest of the year to prepare.
