Judge Puts Mangione’s Pennsylvania Case on Hold | JQJO

A Pennsylvania judge put Luigi Mangione’s case on hold Thursday, citing his custody on federal and state charges in New York and his refusal to appear remotely. Federal officials have not allowed his transfer for hearings, meaning the Pennsylvania matter may not proceed until proceedings in New York conclude. The judge gave Mangione 14 days to seek an in-person hearing or reconsider a remote appearance; the court will be updated every 60 days. Mangione faces local firearm and identification-related offenses, plus federal and state charges in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
