Luigi Mangione’s lawyers have dropped their psychiatric defense just before the deadline, closing the door on a potential manslaughter plea in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The chilling attack, captured on surveillance footage, left Thompson dead and Mangione in custody — now facing state trial starting September 8 and federal trial on October 13, with prosecutors preparing to go all-in on a murder charge.
