Mangione was in a New York City courtroom Wednesday morning for a hearing regarding his state murder case. He also faces a federal trial.
Karen Friedman Agnifilo, one of his attorneys, was a CNN legal analyst before she was retained. In December 2024, she said it looked like a psychiatric defense could be a possibility for Mangione.
By asserting this defense, Mangione would effectively admit to killing Thompson, but because of mitigating circumstances, legal expert Richard Schoenstein said.
At a hearing in May, the judge ruled a gun and notebook found in Mangione's backpack when he was arrested could be used as evidence at trial. The defense had tried to get it tossed, calling the search unlawful. The notebook allegedly has writings expressing hostility towards the health insurance industry.
Schoenstein said Mangione's attorneys are not mounting an insanity defense, which usually seeks complete absolation for the crime.
Mangione's next court date is Aug. 11.
Possession of a weapon charge dismissed
The charge, involving the magazine that was suppressed by the court, was formally dismissed Wednesday.
Mangione faces federal and state charges
"Mistakes happen. People make mistakes," Agnifilo said after appearing in court Tuesday.
