Luigi Magione has been acknowledged that he was not guilty of all federal charges raised for the fatal shooting of UNITEDHEATHALCAR CEO Brian Thompson in New York last year.
The 26 -year -old, who was arrested in December and accused of shooting G -N Thompson in front of a hotel in Manhattan, faces the murder and lurry allegations.
His involuntary confession means that he will now face a lawsuit and prosecutors seek the death penalty if convicted.
Mangoone arrived at the Manhattan lower court on Friday, wearing a prison clothing and hands in cuffs. He admitted that he had read the charge against him before he entered his application, saying to the judge, “He is not guilty.”
Earlier on Friday, federal prosecutors officially filed an application to seek the death penalty in this case.
They claimed that he had committed the murder of G -N Thompson “to strengthen an ideological message” and cause resistance to health insurance.
US Prosecutor General Pam Bondi, who directed prosecutors to seek the death penalty, said in April that the death of G -N -Thompson was an “act of political violence”.
The lawyers of G -N Mangione had previously called a discussion about his performance “barbar”.
During the 35-minute hearing on Friday, Judge Margaret Garnett tried to coordinate a pre-judicial schedule, while Mr. Magioone's attorneys continued to objection against their federal and government charges in New York.
The judge agreed that G -n Mangione's attorneys would need months to pass through prosecutors Three terabytes of evidence, including police staff, social media data, financial and telephone companies and other evidence from state prosecutors.
This means that the federal process of G -n -Manyone will not be held before 2026 – with the judge planning its next federal appearance on December 5, when a “firm date of testing” will be set.
During the hearing, the lawyer of G -N Manguine, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, pressed her client to be tried in the federal court – where the death penalty was at risk – before the State Court, arguing that the opposite would raise “constitutional issues”.
She also accused state prosecutors of “eavesdropping” on the recorded calls of G -N Mansone with her from prison. Judge Garnet asked prosecutors to write a letter within seven days, explaining how to make access to a separate telephone line to make privileged calls with his legal team.
The judge also asked for G -ja Friedman Agnifilo to submit a new proposal by June 27 with the request of the government from being prevented from seeking the death penalty, as she presented her first proposal before prosecutors formally submit a notice that they would do so.
Judge Garnet also asked prosecutors to remind Bondi and government officials of rules related to public statements and their impact on a fair process and selection of jurors.
Mangoone is also facing state charges both in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested and in New York. In a December treaty, he admitted that he was not guilty of the state allegations of murder and terrorism in New York.
Thompson was shot dead in Manhattan in early 4 December last year.
The suspect escaped from the scene before leaving the city. Five days later, Mangione was arrested at a restaurant of McDonald's in Pennsylvania.
The public reaction of the murder of G -n -Thompson shed light on deep dissatisfaction with privatized healthcare. Some celebrate the dargione there is a folklore hero, and a fund created for his legal protection raised nearly $ 1 million (£ 750,000) in donations.
Proponents also gathered outside the Court of Justice on Friday.
The residence was found shells with the words “denial”, “defense” and “deposit”. Critics say these words are related to health companies that avoid payments and increase their profits.
