• Mangione's state murder trial postponed indefinitely amid double jeopardy fight (audacy.com) — Minnetonka residents should know that the state murder trial over the killing of UnitedHealthcare's Minnetonka-based CEO Brian Thompson has been postponed indefinitely while a New York judge weighs double jeopardy arguments. The defendant has already pleaded guilty to related federal stalking charges, and upcoming hearings will determine whether New York's strong protections against multiple prosecutions could block a separate state murder case.
