Nearly a year after Brian Thompson's murder shocked the country and ignited a national conversation about the American healthcare system, the case against Luigi Mangione is heading to trial. In this episode, Kate sits down with ABC News Legal Analyst Brian Buckmire to break down the case, from the shooting and the manhunt that followed, to the charges Mangione now faces and what's ahead as jury selection begins. Brian brings his background as a former senior staff attorney with The Legal Aid Society's Homicide Defense Task Force to walk through the legal details of the case. He's also the host of his own five-part podcast series, Burden of Proof: Luigi Mangione, and this conversation offers a preview of what listeners can expect from that series.
