A federal grand jury has returned a four-count indictment against Luigi Mangione, the man accused in the Dec. 4 killing of a health care executive in Manhattan, the government said Thursday. Mangione was originally charged after his arrest in a federal complaint, but the indictment and Attorney General Pam Bondi’s April 1 announcement that prosecutors will seek the death penalty suggest the Trump Justice Department is moving more aggressively toward a trial.

NEW YORK — Five years after Harvey Weinstein’s New York trial for sex crimes, a watershed moment in the #MeToo era, the disgraced Hollywood mogul is back in a Manhattan courtroom Tuesday for the start of a new trial. Weinstein, 73, was convicted in 2020 of rape and criminal sexual act, while the jury acquitted him on three other charges, including accusations that he was a sexual predator. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison.

Justice Burke's rulings on these points were "not harmless," hampering Mr. Weinstein's ability to defend himself, the state's highest court later said. "The result of the court's rulings, on the one hand, was to bolster their credibility and diminish defendant's character before the jury," the judges wrote.
