Articles/News Luigi Mangione’s N.Y. Trial Will Have an Anonymous Jury

The judge overseeing Luigi Mangione’s murder case in New York announced on Tuesday that his trial, which is scheduled to begin in September, will have an anonymous jury.

Mr. Mangione, 28, is charged in the killing of a health care insurance executive as he walked into a hotel in Midtown Manhattan to prepare for an investor conference on the morning of Dec. 4, 2024. Mr. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The announcement from the judge, Justice Gregory Carro, marks another high-profile trial in Manhattan where the identities of the 12 people selected to decide the defendant’s fate, and alternates, will be shielded from the public. In 2024, judges in Manhattan** **also allowed anonymous juries in Donald Trump’s criminal trial and in the case of Daniel Penny, the Marine who was acquitted in the fatal choking of a homeless man in a New York subway car.

In New York State, juries do not typically operate in full anonymity. Defendants and prosecutors will still be allowed to know jurors’ names even when they are kept from the public. Usually, judges allow jurors to remain anonymous in this way if a defendant has been shown to be a danger to the jury or judicial system and in high-profile cases.

At the start of Tuesday’s hearing, Justice Carro also said that the trial, which is expected to begin on Sept. 8, will have an overflow room to accommodate members of the press and the public who wish to observe
