Luigi Mangione appeared for a pretrial hearing at Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday, as his defense team attempted to block evidence from his state trial for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

For Context: Mangione, 27, was accused of publicly killing Thompson in New York City on Dec. 4, 2024.
