Summary
If a jury accepts the defence, it is obligated to convict a defendant of manslaughter, which is punishable by up to 25 years in prison, instead of murder, which carries a potential life sentence. Mangione, 28, has pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges. The retraction came just a day after Mangione’s lawyers told Judge Gregory Carro that they planned to pursue a defence involving claims that the 28-year-old Ivy League graduate was suffering from extreme emotional disturbance at the time of the Dec.
Furthermore, Thompson, 50, was killed as he walked to a Manhattan hotel for UnitedHealth Group’s annual investor conference. Also Thursday, a transcript of a secret hearing held on the matter on June 3 was made public after Carro ordered it unsealed. In a letter to Carro on Thursday, Mangione lawyer Karen Friedman Agnifilo said the defence “respectfully withdraws” its notice under New York’s psychiatric defence statute.
