Attorneys for Luigi Mangione plan to present an "affirmative psychiatric defense" at his state trial, alleging he was suffering an "extreme emotional disturbance" at the time of the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Judge Gregory Carro said at a hearing Wednesday.

Carro ordered Mangione's attorneys to turn over his psychiatric records to prosecutors by Thursday, and the judge said the records would be unsealed.

Mangione's lawyers first notified prosecutors that they might pursue a psychiatric defense in September, Carro said. Neither Mangione's attorneys nor Carro provided additional information about the "extreme emotional disturbance" that allegedly impacted Mangione's mental state.

If the jury agrees with the "affirmative psychiatric defense," Mangione could be convicted of the lesser crime of manslaughter, which carries a 25-year maximum sentence, instead of murder, which could result in a life sentence, according to ABC News chief legal analyst Dan Abrams.


We'll see how that works for him but an affirmative defense sounds tricky

Gutless and premeditated…shot his target in the back and ran. Deserves death.

I’ll say that the way portions of the country rallied around him makes me feel like you can’t concede anything here.

It was a fully planned, well researched, murder to send political message

Unless he was truly next level loopy in a way that is totally unrelatable to the human experience - he has to get the full ride.

Doesn't matter. His attempt to hide his identity (almost worked) is proof he could distinguish between right and wrong.

Defense just throwing shite at the wall to see what sticks.

Remember I have at least 2 serial DV stalkers. They don't read my posts.

I can post prayers for someone's sick maw maw, or a pic of Phoebe Cates in a bikini, and I will still get some DVs

Anyone who murders someone is psychotic and insane.

His attorneys are hoping to get young white women on the jury to sway the sympathy vote.

They need to be reminded that Ted Bundy was a "pretty boy" too.
