Luigi Mangione will pursue a psychiatric defense at his New York state murder trial, where he is accused of killing health insurance executive Brian Thompson in December 2024, a judge has said.

New York Judge Gregory Carro earlier held a secret hearing on the matter upon a request from the defense.

Carro said he would unseal records pertaining to the hearing.

The judge had been set to rule on the matter yesterday, but delayed his decision because prosecutors failed to inform jailers that Mangione was due in court.

Mangione has pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges over the killing of Thompson.

His federal trial is set to begin on Oct. 13.

He faces a possible life sentence if convicted.
