Luigi Mangione's state trial postponed after federal plea deal

Driving the news: On Monday, Judge Gregory Carro issued an order postponing that trial's start date after Mangione's lawyers asked last week to dismiss most of the state charges following their client's federal plea.

• They argued that moving forward with state-level weapons and murder counts would constitute double jeopardy.

Catch up quick: The fatal shooting of the insurance executive outside a hotel in midtown Manhattan sparked intense media coverage and a days-long manhunt.

• As he entered his plea on Friday, Mangione described the steps he took to carry out the attack, including planning his travel to New York and using a 3-D printer to make a gun with a silencer.
• "I shot Mr. Thompson," he said, per multiple reports. "I knew what I was doing was illegal."

What's next: The prosecution and defense have until October to weigh in on whether the case should be dismissed.

• Mangione's sentencing on federal charges is scheduled for Dec. 18.
