It's been a while since we heard what's happening with #Luigi's case:

The
#LuigiMangione case, concerning the alleged murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4, 2024, remains highly active, though news coverage has slowed as the legal process has become mired in procedural battles.

Recent Developments:

-
HIPAA Violation Allegations: In July 2025, #Mangione’s attorneys accused Manhattan prosecutors of improperly obtaining his confidential medical records by using what they claim was a fabricated subpoena and a fake court date. The defense has asked the judge to impose sanctions, including the possible dismissal of charges. The district attorney’s office asserts that extra information was sent by mistake and was deleted once discovered, but a hearing on the matter is expected[1][2].

-
Upcoming Court Dates: Mangione’s next major state court appearance is scheduled for September 16, 2025, in New York, while his federal court hearing is set for December 5, 2025. There is also a pending case in Pennsylvania, but no date has been set[3][4].

-
Legal Strategy and Motions: Mangione’s defense continues to push for dismissal or delay of the state case to prioritize the federal prosecution, arguing double jeopardy, due process, and alleged constitutional violations. Prosecutors oppose halting the state case, especially as the federal case could take years if the death penalty is pursued[5][6].

-
Evidence and Publicity: Prosecutors have released entries from Mangione’s alleged diary, found after his arrest, detailing months of premeditation and animosity toward the health insurance industry, and cited this to justify murder charges with a terrorism enhancement. The defense argues the release was intended to bias the public and undermine Mangione’s right to a fair trial[7][8][6].

-
Federal Death Penalty: The U.S. Attorney General has directed federal prosecutors to pursue the death penalty against Mangione, citing both the premeditated nature of the crime and its alleged political intent. This marks one of the first high-profile death penalty prosecutions since the Trump administration’s restoration of federal executions[9][10].

-
Current Status: Mangione, now 27, remains in federal custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He has pleaded not guilty to both state and federal charges and faces parallel prosecutions in New York and pending charges in Pennsylvania[11][12][3].

In summary: There has been little substantive movement toward a trial over the past month, with pretrial hearings now focused on alleged evidence violations and procedural fighting over which case will proceed first. The most significant upcoming event is the evidentiary hearing regarding potential HIPAA violations in September, which could affect the viability of the state prosecution[1][3][6].

“The District Attorney falsely made up a court date - May 23, 2025 - and drafted a fraudulent subpoena that if Aetna did not provide documents on that date, it would be in contempt of Court,” the letter says. “Then, rather than having Aetna give the documents to the Court, as required by the already fraudulent subpoena, the District Attorney told Aetna to provide the documents directly to the District Attorney, intentionally eliminating the Court from the subpoena process and ensuring that the District Attorney would secure these confidential medical records.”

CNN · Luigi Mangione’s attorneys say prosecutors wrongfully obtained his medical recordsBy Lauren del Valle

Oh goody. Not only is the open enrollment period for ACA marketplace coverage shrinking by a month, not only are the enhanced subsidies expiring, my particular insurer, Aetna, is exiting the marketplace altogether.

I'm dead fucking serious here: if I cannot afford coverage and end up in medical debt again, I'm pulling a Luigi.
