NEW YORK (AP) — The man accused of fatally shooting the CEO of UnitedHealthcare pleaded not guilty on Monday to murder and terror charges while his attorney complained that statements coming from New York’s mayor would make it tough for him to receive a fair trial. Luigi Mangione, 26, was shackled and seated in a Manhattan court when he leaned over to a microphone to enter his plea. The Manhattan district attorney formally charged him last week with multiple counts of murder, including murder as an act of terrorism, in a state case that will run parallel to his federal prosecution. His initial appearance in New York’s state’s trial court was preempted by federal prosecutors bringing their own charges over the shooting. The federal charges could carry the possibility of the death penalty, while the maximum sentence for the state charges is life in prison without parole. Prosecutors have said the two cases will proceed on parallel tracks, with the state charges expected to go to trial first. One of Mangione’s attorneys told the judge that government officials, including New York Mayor Eric Adams, have

Ben Schwartz is sitting in the green room at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre with his shoes off, looking relaxed. The writer-actor-director-improvisor comedian appears to be far more zen than a man who spent the last two weeks traveling between Brazil, London, Los Angeles and soon New York City promoting his titular role in “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” should be. Schwartz also recently announced North American and Australian tour dates for his improv show “Ben Schwartz and Friends,” and his long-gestating comedy script “DNA” starring Sam Rockwell finally found a director in Jorma Taccone. “I do like being busy,” Schwartz says. “I like being in projects that make me feel happy and inspired.” For Schwartz, the volume of work hasn’t changed. Even when starting at the bottom rung of entertainment, Schwartz was taking on as many experiences as he could. Schwartz was a page at CBS in 2003, doing audience loading for “Late Night with David Letterman.” He also worked as an intern at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York — an improv institution whose founding members include Amy Poehler, Matthew Walsh and

This column is the latest in a series on parenting children in the final years of high school, “Emptying the Nest.” Read the previous installment, about mourning the last first day of school, here . My children exist in part because of the University of California system. It was Gov. Pat Brown’s Master Plan for Higher Education, designed to guarantee every high school graduate in the state the opportunity to attend college, that helped my father-in-law convince his wife that they should move from her small hometown in Indiana to the planned community of Lakewood. There were, of course, a million factors that led me to meet my husband of 26 years. But one thing is for sure: It wouldn’t have happened if he had stayed in Indiana. So I have many reasons to be grateful to the UC system. Reasons I try to remember as our family faces, for the third and final time, the stomach-churning experience of attempting to be accepted into it. As millions of parents and students know, the college admissions process has become increasingly ghastly. Long gone are the days

Angelina Camillia Gonzales was a cheerleader at Azusa High School and her family told ABC 7 she was found fatally stabbed at an ex-boyfriend’s house on Friday.

And I ran up to the officers like, hey, my daughter’s in there. You know, my daughter is in there I’m trying to find her. She’s not home. And that’s when they told me, sit aside for a minute,” Robert Caraballo, Angelina’s stepfather, told ABC 7. Angelina recently joined the Azusa High wrestling team and her 18th birthday was supposed to be on Jan. 7. “It’s unreal, like just the fact that you know, anyone could bring themselves to
