The judge in Luigi Mangione's state trial set a June 8 trial date for New York's case against him for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, leading Mangione to have an outburst Friday as court concluded. The judge started the proceedings by saying it appears the federal government had reneged on their agreement to let the state trial go first by setting a date of Sept. 8 to begin jury selection in the federal trial, with opening statements on Oct. 13.  However, that trial date may be delayed if the federal government appeals the decision to throw out the charges against Mangione that were eligible for the death penalty. The judge said in the event the federal trial is indeed delayed, then the state trial would proceed on Sept. 8 instead.  The judge told Mangione's defense attorneys to be ready to proceed on June 8.   Earlier this year, state prosecutors requested a July 1 trial date for Mangione on the state charges. Mangione's attorneys said this request is unreasonable as they need the rest of the year to prepare for the federal trial. There were approximately two dozen Mangione supporters in the courtroom Friday. One wore a shirt with the message "Luigi Mangione: Not in the Epstein files" on it.   "Double jeopardy," Mangione says in court Mangione's defense said their client is being put in an untenable situation as the tug-of-war between state and federal prosecutions plays out.  The video player is currently playing an ad. As court concluded, Mangione, who was wearing tan prison clothing and was handcuffed, had an outburst, shouting, "It's the same trial twice. One plus one is two. Double jeopardy by any common sense definition."                   Luigi Mangione's legal team created a website for the accused killer, they say “due to the extraordinary volume of inquiries and outpouring of support. His attorneys say the website — luigimangioneinfo.com — was created to ”share case updates, “dispel information” and publish letters from Mangione while he’s incarcerated. He writes “I am overwhelmed by — and grateful for — everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support.”  That support include thousands donations for his legal fees. Luigi Mangione's defense team describes his "beautiful, promising life" as "derailed" by the murder charges against him. This phrasing is not highlighted as a saying from Mangione's groupies, but as a phrase coming from Mangione's attorney as part of a legal motion filed to dismiss the federal case or get the death penalty tossed. As part of an evidence suppression hearing in the upcoming trial of Luigi Mangione, prosecutors play a 911 call placed by the manager of a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The McDonald's manager is not identified, and the hearing is the first time the 911 call is played in public. The manager is apologetic as she tells the 911 operator she tried the non-emergency line first and continues taking orders as she tells the operator, "I have a customer here some other customers were suspicious of because he looks like the CEO shooter in New York. "And they're just really upset and come to me, and I'm like, I can't approach him." The 911 operator, Emily States, testifies and is heard asking for a description of the individual, with the manager replying,"The only thing you can see is the eyebrows." Mangione's defense attorney, Marc Agnifilo, objects to the 911 call being played, but the judge says he is allowing the call for this hearing. Mangione enters the courtroom in shackles, but the judge allows Mangione to sit unshackled and take notes at the defense table. Long lines outside the courthouse filled with women and men supporters trying to enter the hearing, hoping to get a glimpse of the alleged CEO murderer. Mangione's defense team is trying to prevent several key pieces of evidence from being allowed at trial, like the comment about the 3-D printed pistol. Angifilo claims conversations with correction officers were illegally coerced and should not be allowed. The defense claims Mangione is questioned for 20 minutes by Altoona Police Officer Joseph Detwiler without being read his Miranda rights. Therefore, prosecutors should not be allowed to introduce any testimony about statements made by Mangione to police. United States District Judge Margaret Garnett says she will rule on the defense’s request to drop death penalty charges and the exclusions at a later hearing. If the murder charge remains, Garnett a trial could start in late December or early January 2027. If charges dropped, Mangione's trial might begin this October. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Mangione’s next hearing date for Jan. 30.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TMZ has received a third email from the man who claims he knows the identity of Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper. He suggests the doubled reward was a move designed "to discredit me." He's asking for a bitcoin worth $50,000, and then he will give up the information. Then, he expects another $50,000 in bitcoin.  Joining Nancy Grace Today:  Josh Kolsrud - Criminal Defense Attorney, Former Assistant U.S. Attorney, and Founder of Kolsrud Law Offices; Facebook and YouTube @KolsrudLawOffices  Dr. Bethany Marshall -  Psychoanalyst, Author: "Deal Breaker," and featured in hit show "Paris in Love" on Peacock; Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, X: @DrBethanyLive   Brian Fitzgibbons – Director of Operations for USPA Nationwide Security (leads a team of investigators specializing in locating missing persons), Marine and Iraq Wat Veteran; Instagram: @uspa_nationwide_security Scott Eicher – A Founding Member of the FBI’s Cellular Analysis Survey Team (C.A.S.T); Historical Cellular Analysis Expert; Former FBI agent of 22 years; Former Police Officer and Homicide Detective with Norfolk Virginia Police Dept.
