路易吉·曼焦内的律师指控联邦检察官针对这名联合健康集团首席执行官布莱恩·汤普森的被控凶手操纵公众舆论，并剥夺了他获得公平审判的权利。
曼焦内因2024年12月杀害汤普森，正面临州和联邦两项指控。他在两起案件中均不认罪。
据知情人士透露，美国全国广播公司纽约分社周四报道称，在定于7月6日的庭审听证会之前，曼焦内的律师曾与联邦检察官就可能的认罪协议进行过商谈。
曼焦内的律师周四在给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的一份声明中称该报道“令人不安”。
辩护律师卡伦·弗里德曼·阿格尼菲洛表示：“这些被归咎于‘匿名消息源’的信息，是检察官和执法部门蓄意制造令人不安局面的一部分，目的是对路易吉产生偏见、操纵公众舆论，并侵犯他获得公平审判和公正陪审团的宪法权利。美国的每一名被告在被证明有罪之前都应被推定无罪，包括路易吉，他不得不同样的罪名面临两次审判。”
法律专家告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，在审判前控辩双方进行商谈是常见做法，包括就认罪协议展开讨论。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻法律分析师杰西卡·莱文森表示：“他们会就是否达成交易展开讨论。在整个诉讼过程中就潜在的认罪协议进行商谈完全不算罕见。”
前棕榈滩县州检察官戴夫·阿龙伯格说道：“通常情况下，辩方会说‘嘿，我们能不能达成认罪协议’，而检方则会回应‘我们可以提供这样的条件’。”
认罪协议的谈判可以一直持续到审判开始，正如最近布莱恩·科伯格的案件那样，科伯格去年7月承认杀害了爱达荷大学的四名学生，作为认罪协议的一部分，他免于被判处死刑。
阿龙伯格说：“套用莱尼·布鲁斯的话来说：‘在正义的殿堂里，正义往往是在殿堂里得以实现的。’”
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已向纽约南区联邦检察官以及曼哈顿地区检察官阿尔文·布拉格寻求置评。
本月早些时候，曼焦内的律师表示可能会在纽约州的审判中为曼焦内寻求精神辩护。次日，也就是6月18日，曼焦内的律师突然撤回了他们打算提出“极端情绪困扰”辩护的通知。
自曼焦内因2024年12月在曼哈顿中城一场医疗行业会议外杀害汤普森被指控以来，这起案件受到了全球的广泛关注。
州法院案件的审判定于9月开始，随后是联邦跨州跟踪案件的审判，定于11月开庭。

Luigi Mangione’s attorneys accuse federal prosecutors of violating his rights

Attorneys for Luigi Mangione are accusing federal prosecutors of manipulating public opinion against the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and denying him his right to a fair trial.
Mangione is facing both state and federal charges for Thompson’s murder in December 2024. He has pleaded not guilty in both cases.
On Thursday, NBC News New York reported that Mangione’s attorneys had talks with federal prosecutors about a possible plea deal in advance of a scheduled court hearing on Monday, July 6, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Mangione’s attorneys said in a statement to CBS News on Thursday that the report was “troubling.”
“This information attributed to ‘anonymous sources’ is part of a troubling, deliberate pattern by prosecutors and law enforcement to prejudice Luigi, manipulate public opinion, and violate his constitutional right to a fair trial and impartial jury,” defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo said. “Every defendant in America is presumed innocent until proven guilty, including Luigi, who has to fight the same charges twice.”
Discussions between prosecutors and defense attorneys prior to trial, including discussions about plea agreements, are common, legal experts told CBS News.
“They’re going to have a conversation about whether or not they will do a deal. It is not at all uncommon to have a conversation about a potential plea deal throughout the process,” CBS News legal analyst Jessica Levinson said.
“Generally, the defense will say, ‘Hey, can we plead this out,’ and prosecutors will say, ‘Here’s what we can offer,’” said former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg.
Plea agreements can be negotiated all the way up until trial, as in the recent case of Bryan Kohberger, who pleaded guilty last July to the murders of four University of Idaho students as part of a plea deal that spared him from facing the death penalty.
“To paraphrase Lenny Bruce, ‘In the halls of justice, justice is often done in the halls,’” Aronberg said.
CBS News has reached out to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Earlier this month, Mangione’s attorneys said they might seek a psychiatric defense for Mangione in his New York state trial. The following day, on June 18, Mangione’s attorneys abruptly withdrew the notice of their intent to argue an “extreme emotional disturbance.”
Mangione’s case has garnered outsized attention from around the world since he was accused of the December 2024 killing of Thompson outside a healthcare industry conference in Midtown Manhattan.
The trial in the state case is set to begin in September, followed by the federal interstate stalking trial scheduled to begin in November.
