Judge cautions prosecutors in healthcare exec murder trial to refrain from public comments

Comments from legal team and Trump administration officials could prevent Luigi Mangione from getting a fair trial

During a 25 April proceeding in Luigi Mangione's Manhattan federal court case for allegedly murdering UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson last year, the judge implored prosecutors to watch what they say - including top honchos of Donald Trump's justice department.

Judge Margaret M Garnett pointed prosecutors to a district court policy barring lawyers on both sides from making public commentary that could impede Mr Mangione's right to a fair trial".
