A judge has ordered an anonymous jury for the September murder trial of Luigi Mangione, who is accused of fatally shooting a health insurance executive on a Manhattan sidewalk in 2024. The decision comes amid concerns that Mangione’s supporters could attempt to intimidate witnesses.
A Manhattan judge also approved access for 86 news organizations to cover the proceedings. The ruling was made Tuesday morning as final preparations are underway for the state murder trial, according to NBC News. No right-leaning outlets reported on this decision.
The move to anonymize the jury is intended to protect jurors from potential outside influence or harassment, given Mangione’s apparent base of support.
