00:00Accused United Healthcare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione was expected in Manhattan Supreme Court
00:05on Tuesday but never showed up, which seems kind of odd considering he's behind bars and can't
00:11really just decide to go to Starbucks instead of court. So why did Mangione sit this one out?
00:17Well, because oopsies, prosecutors failed to contact his jail in time. The hearing was pushed
00:24back to today with the full trial set to begin on September 8th. Now I have covered a ton of
00:29court
00:29and I feel pretty confident the judge had to have been perturbed about this snafu. It is a huge waste
00:35of the court's time. Today's proceeding, the redo from yesterday, will be publicly accessible.
00:40Back on June 3rd, Judge Gregory Caro blocked the media from covering some mysterious hearing so
00:46maybe we'll finally get a little light shed on that today? Sure to be there for whatever goes down.
00:52Are three of Mangione's biggest, I hate to call them fans, devotees maybe? Either way,
00:57they've nicknamed themselves the Mangioneistas and have cajoled City Hall to give them press
01:04passes, official ones, which is just wrong on so many levels. A post reporter asked one of the
01:10fangools where all her independent press work could be read. You know, the thing she told the mayor's
01:16office she did in order to get an official press pass. Her name is, well it doesn't really matter
01:22because she's not a real reporter and I don't want to give her the satisfaction. But she told us
01:27you can find her work at
01:29dot com. Lovely girl. Mind you, all of this buffoonery is going on as Mangione is facing
01:37life in prison. In both his state case, that's what today's hearing is for,
01:41and a federal case expected to begin next year.
