Luigi Mangione’s lawyers shift on psychiatric defense
Los Angeles Times
|June 20, 2026
Team reverses course in trial in the killing of UnitedHealthcare chief executive.
In a stunning reversal, Luigi Mangione’s lawyers told a judge Thursday that he would no longer be asserting a psychiatric defense at his state murder trial in the killing of UnitedHealthcare Chief Executive Brian Thompson.
The retraction came just a day after Mangione’s lawyers told Judge Gregory Carro that they planned to pursue a defense involving claims that the 28-year-old Ivy League graduate was suffering from extreme emotional disturbance at the time of the Dec. 4, 2024, killing.
A message seeking comment was left with a spokesperson for Mangione’s lawyers. The Manhattan district attorney’s office, which is prosecuting the state case, declined to comment.
Mangione’s lawyers had faced a deadline Thursday to provide prosecutors with information to support the emotional disturbance claim.
