Luigi Mangione trial jury to remain anonymous

Luigi Mangione Brian Thompson UnitedHealthcare anonymous jury murder trial

A New York judge has ruled that the jury in the upcoming murder trial of Luigi Mangione will remain anonymous. Justice Gregory Carro made the decision during a pretrial hearing, citing concerns raised by prosecutors regarding potential harassment or intimidation of jurors by Mangione's supporters.

Luigi Mangione, 28, is accused of the December 2024 fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to murder, weapons, and forgery charges. His defense team has indicated they may pursue a psychiatric defense, suggesting his actions may have been driven by a mental health breakdown.

Jury selection is scheduled to begin on September 8. To accommodate intense public and media interest, the court has arranged for an overflow courtroom to ensure access for journalists and spectators. Mangione also faces a separate federal trial on stalking charges, which is expected to begin in January 2027.
