By Luc Cohen and Aleksandra Michalska Luigi Mangione’s state murder trial delayed until September, throwing federal trial into question NEW YORK, – A New York state judge on Wednesday delayed Luigi Mangione’s trial on charges of murdering a health insurance executive to September 8, throwing into question the timing of a parallel federal trial. In a brief written order, Justice Gregory Carro in Manhattan pushed Mangione’s trial start date back from June 8. Carro did not specify a reason, but the judge had expressed frustration during a February 6 hearing that federal prosecutors had “reneged” on a promise to let state prosecutors go to trial first. Hours earlier, U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett, who is overseeing Mangione’s federal trial on stalking charges stemming from the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, pushed back by a few weeks the start of that trial to October 13. Mangione’s state court trial is expected to last six weeks, defense lawyer Karen Friedman-Agnifilo said at a hearing before Garnett on Wednesday. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all …

With Mario, you get the classic hero who runs toward danger to save the day. With Luigi, you have the guy who says, ‘I want to save the day, but I also do not want to get hurt,’ and I think that makes him relatable. His innocence is something you root for, because he loves his brother enough to follow …

At a hearing in January, Weinstein insisted he “never assaulted anyone” and said his “spirit was breaking” after nearly six years behind bars. The trial, postponed from a March 3 start, hasn’t been rescheduled. …

A Reddit moderation tool is flagging ‘Luigi’ as potentially violent content

A Reddit moderation tool is flagging ‘Luigi’ as potentially violent content

Published by Webster

Reddit’s automatic moderation tool is flagging the word “Luigi” as potentially violent — even when the content isn’t. But Reddit does appear to be flagging comments that mention “Luigi” in some cases, even those unrelated to Mangione — just not in the way that it first appeared to be. The Reddit spokesperson said that because r/popculture had recently fallen down to a single moderator, automod features kicked in, including a way to filter for “keywords that could — but don’t necessarily — indicate violating content.” The remaining moderator of r/popculture told The Verge that the mod team didn’t add “Luigi” to the list of keywords, Reddit did. The r/popculture moderator posted about the Luigi issue to the r/FreeLuigi subreddit, a grassroots community where people discuss the Mangione case. The subreddit has strict rules in place to avoid violating Reddit’s moderation rules, like referring to Mangione’s by his initials and a blanket ban on content that calls for or endorses violence. But the moderators still fear that Reddit will decide to shut it down — even …

The hottest ticket in New York on Friday was the Luigi Mangione hearing

The hottest ticket in New York on Friday was the Luigi Mangione hearing

Published by Webster

There are so many people here that nobody can tell where the end of the line is. New people arrive, ask if there’s a line, shuffle into a blob of bodies idling and waiting for someone to give them instructions. The hallway is horribly warm — unclear if it’s from the bodies or the heat — and it’s a little smelly, which could just be me but I don’t think it is. I estimate between 100 and 150 people are hanging around, waiting for 2:15PM to roll around, their anticipation building. This is not a club with a strict bouncer, though it feels like it. This is the Luigi Mangione hearing. The hearing is a relatively minor pre-trial status update, but for the people most tapped in, there is a lot riding on it — the Luigi info-drip has been a bit dry lately. Court dates for the 26 year old accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December keep getting pushed back. Mangione, who is currently being held in federal custody in a …

Dave Franco, attending the Sundance Film Festival with his new film Together, recently addressed the viral comparisons between himself and Luigi Mangione. Franco, who stars in the horror film alongside his real-life wife, Alison Brie, admitted that the resemblance to Mangione has sparked a wave of messages. “I’ve never received more texts in my life about anything,” Franco said. “Anyone who has my phone number has reached out about it.” The comparisons emerged after Mangione gained attention following his arrest for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December. Social media users were quick to suggest Franco for the role of Mangione in a potential film adaptation. Luigi Mangione made headlines in December when he was accused of fatally shooting Thompson in midtown Manhattan. After a multiday manhunt, Mangione was arrested in Pennsylvania on December 9. He has pleaded not guilty and awaits his next court appearance in February. While no official movie about the case has been announced, documentaries, including one by Oscar-winning …
