Luigi Mangione will use a psychiatric defense in his state trial for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, as announced by Judge Gregory Carro during a hearing on Wednesday. The judge stated that a notification regarding the psychiatric defense and potential emotional disturbance at the time of the crime will be made public. If found guilty, the 28-year-old Mangione could be committed to a psychiatric facility instead of prison if his defense proves he was not mentally competent during the murder. Mangione faces both state and federal charges and has pleaded not guilty. His trial is set to begin on September 8.
