Mangione defense pivots to "extreme emotional disturbance"

Luigi Mangione's defense team signals a major shift in strategy, arguing he was suffering from extreme emotional disturbance at the time of Brian Thompson's alleged murder.

By Peter Zampa·3 hr ago

Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing former United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson in 2024, returned to a New York courtroom Wednesday as his defense team signaled a major shift in strategy.

In the New York state murder case, Mangione's attorneys plan to argue the 28-year-old was suffering from extreme emotional disturbance at the time Thompson was allegedly killed in December 2024.

If jurors accept that defense, Mangione could face less prison time than if convicted of murder.
