Luigi Mangione will assert psychiatric defense in murder case in UnitedHealthcare CEO’s killing

Luigi Mangione plans to assert a psychiatric defense during his trial for the killing of a UnitedHealthcare CEO in Manhattan. A judge revealed that Mangione will argue he was experiencing an extreme mental health crisis during the incident. If the jury accepts this defense, he would be convicted of manslaughter rather than murder. This legal shift would result in a maximum possible sentence of 25 years in prison for the accused individual.
