Luigi Mangione's scheduled court appearance in his New York state murder case was delayed Wednesday after prosecutors failed to file the proper paperwork required for his Tuesday morning hearing.
Judge Gregory Carro had ordered that Mangione be allowed to wear civilian clothing for the Tuesday appearance, but prosecutors said they did not serve the order for Mangione to come to court that day. The hearing was rescheduled for Wednesday morning.
"Mistakes happen. People make mistakes," defense attorney Karen Agnifilo said after appearing in court Tuesday.
Mangione is being tried on both federal and state charges for the December 2024 shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He pleaded not guilty in both cases.
Judge Carro scheduled the hearing earlier this month, though the purpose of both a June 3 conference and the Wednesday hearing remain shrouded in secrecy. Carro provided no additional information about the purpose of the hearing. According to the judge, both sides should be working on a questionnaire for jury selection.
Mangione's state trial is scheduled to begin on September 8.
In May, Judge Carro largely denied Mangione's attorneys' attempt to block prosecutors from using evidence first discovered by law enforcement when he was arrested in 2024. Carro ruled that much of the disputed evidence, including the alleged murder weapon and writings that prosecutors say amount to a confession, was lawfully seized by police officers who arrested Mangione at a Pennsylvania McDonald's.
