Prosecutors Challenge Luigi Mangione Juror Questions Before October Murder Trial

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 13
  • Federal prosecutors asked the court to block parts of Luigi Mangione’s proposed juror questionnaire, saying several defense questions in the CEO murder case are too intrusive for voir dire.
  • Deputy U.S. Attorney Sean Buckley singled out requests for jurors’ children’s ages, genders, occupations and education histories, plus a question on how often they attend religious services.
  • Prosecutors also objected to asking whether potential jurors had been targeted or investigated in a criminal matter, arguing the questions seek personal information unrelated to impartiality and risk turning jury selection into advocacy.
  • Mangione faces state and federal charges over the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson; his federal trial is set for October, while his state trial was moved in April from June 8 to Sept. 8.
  • If convicted, Mangione faces life in prison in a case prosecutors have described as the politically motivated assassination of Thompson in New York.
