Alvin Bragg’s ‘unrealistic’ timeline in Luigi Mangione case sets up showdown with Trump DOJ
- Manhattan DA Bragg seeks July 1 start for Mangione state murder trial, arguing for speedy resolution.
- Mangione's defense calls the July 1 date unrealistic due to a federal trial already set for September.
- Judge Garnett tentatively set federal jury selection for September, with trial to start later this year or in winter.
- Mangione faces state charges in New York and lesser charges in Pennsylvania connected to the Thompson killing.
- Prosecutors describe the Thompson killing as a 'cold-blooded execution' in a letter to the judge.
- If convicted in New York, Mangione could face life-without-parole if a high-severity charge is upheld.
- Federal authorities continue with a parallel case, influencing scheduling and strategy.
- Mangione is seen in a courtroom context during an evidentiary hearing on December 12, 2025.
- The case involves high-profile corporate target Brian Thompson's killing and investigation led by NYPD.
- Defense and prosecutors are racing to balance state and federal timelines amid ongoing litigation.
