Luigi Mangione’s wild ride through the justice system stalled out Monday — when he got stuck in a Manhattan court elevator for 20 minutes, delaying a hearing in his federal case.
The 28-year-old accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was in the lift with his escort of US Marshals, headed to the courtroom, when the contraption suddenly stopped, courthouse sources told The Post.
“It was some sort of elevator issue, that’s all I know,” Mangione’s lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, said when asked about the snafu outside the courtroom.
“Can’t wait to hear what you guys find out about that!” she added when another journalist grilled her for specifics on the elevator situation.
After a brief delay, Mangione, clad in tan jail scrubs, eventually made it to the courtroom, where Judge Margaret Garnett pushed his federal trial back to January 2027 to allow time for a separate state case starting Sept. 8.
His federal trial had been supposed to start in October, but Garnett said she did not want both trials to potentially take place concurrently.

PLEASE tell me that for 20 minutes this POS was ‘stuck in the elevator’ with a HUGE, rabid Gangster-type that absolutely LOVED his Insurance Company!
*SMIRK*
Too bad the elevator didnt crash and kill him, would have been win/win
I would say he got a rise out of that, but actually he didn’t.
Luigi Mangione’s wild ride through the justice system stalled out Monday — when he got stuck in a Manhattan court elevator for 20 minutes. I wonder if he had to pee during the ordeal?
WHY is there a STATE trial and a FEDERAL trial? I googled it but it doesn’t make any sense. They couldn’t reach an agreement the creep gets one trial for murder and leave it at that?
Movie Elevator (2012) trailer.
Stuck 50 floors up with a bomb set to go off above them.
FOUL LANGUAGE ALERT. Sorry.

Ha.
Better take the time to really talk with him and hand him an acoustical guitar so he can sing “Down In the Valley.”
The method is considered the "dual sovereignty doctrine" so avoids double-jeopardy protection.
Maybe the prisoner wanted to tell the cops some things in private.
Get in elevator

doors close....wait...wait...wait..

moving...moving...moving...
elevator stops... wait...wait...wait.. . doors open slowly...
exhale
shudder
Well the old belt lifts ran continuously. You step on the lift platform and grab the one at chest height. Up you went, then Stepped off at desired floor.
“Be sure and get off at the top floor” they said. If you staid on there was a bar that knocked you off at the top. That way you didn’t go over the top.
Very common elevator type in garages, feed mills and such.
The old wooden elevators came with a different warning. Bend your knees before the bottom floor because that’s where it stops!
How about an open air elevator
Luigi is going to die from old age before the bastards in our judicial system ever gets around to punishing the backshooting bastard.
Ride a buck hoist, gets interesting after the 30th floor.
