Mangione's NYC trial postponed indefinitely amid double jeopardy fight

Luigi Mangione's lawyers have described him as a "pawn in parallel prosecutions" and accused state and federal prosecutors of "trying to punish him twice for the exact conduct".

The judge overseeing Luigi Mangione’s state murder trial in New York court put those proceedings on hold to allow prosecutors time to respond to the defendant’s efforts to have that case thrown out.

Judge Gregory Carro issued an order Monday canceling the trial and giving the Manhattan District Attorney's office, which is prosecuting the state case, until Oct. 9 to respond to the defense's double jeopardy claims.

The trial had been scheduled to begin on September 8. Mangione, who pleaded guilty last week to separate federal charges, has pleaded not guilty to the state charges.
