Luigi Mangione’s much anticipated federal trial stemming from the murder of a top healthcare executive on a Manhattan street was tentatively delayed to 5 October.

The Manhattan federal court judge Margaret Garnett’s scheduling decision on Wednesday came after Mangione’s team requested a postponement of this trial, which had been scheduled for 8 September.

Mangione’s request relates to his New York state-level case in the killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The accused murderer’s Manhattan supreme court trial is scheduled for 8 June. The trial is expected to span four to six weeks.

Garnett said that in-person questioning of prospective jurors would start on 5 October with the trial beginning in earnest with openings and testimony on 26 October or 2 November.

Remember all those times that trump pardons didn't have an effect on state charges? This is like that, except that Luigi is handsome and cool and jet skiing with me at the lake that time nothing happened.
