Lawyers for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, notified the court on June 18 they will no longer pursue a psychiatric defense in his state murder trial.
In a letter to Judge Gregory Carro, his lawyer Karen Friedman Agnifilo said the defense “respectfully withdraws” its notice under New York’s psychiatric defense statute “at this time.”
