Luigi Mangione Judge Married to Former Healthcare Exec

Luigi Mangione’s pre-trial judge is married to a former executive at Pfizer, according to a shocking report.

Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker, who has handled Mangione’s pre-trial hearings, is married to Bret Parker, who stopped working at Pfizer in 2010.

She also has hundreds of thousands in stock, according to reporting by journalist Ken Klippenstein.

The judge holds between $50,000 and $100,000 in Pfizer, including stock in other healthcare industry companies like Abbott Laboratories, Viatris and CRISPR Therapeutics. Her husband still collects a pension from his former employer.

Parker also has holdings in Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Microsoft, Tesla and Apple, amongst others.

“United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart,” Mangione’s alleged manifesto read. “The reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has [allowed] them to get away with it.”

Parker is not expected to handle Mangione’s trial for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Parker did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Beast.
