Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker, who is overseeing pre-trial hearings for Luigi Mangione, is married to a former Pfizer executive and holds hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock, including in healthcare companies and pharmaceutical companies, according to her 2023 financial disclosures.

The judge’s ties to the healthcare business are a stark reminder of how pervasive the for-profit industry is in American life — a point made by Mangione himself.

Parker’s husband, Bret Parker, left Pfizer in 2010, where he served as Vice President and assistant general counsel after holding the same titles at Wyeth, a pharmaceutical manufacturer purchased by Pfizer. According to Parker’s disclosures, her husband Bret still collects a pension from his time at Pfizer in the form of a Senior Executive Retirement Plan, or SERP.

Mistrial

Free Luigi

Anyone looked into the cost to blast out infomercials to the New York City area regarding "jury nullification"? Rule one... you don't talk about it. Rule two... you don't fucking talk about it. Rule three... ok, so, here's a neat little folding pamphlet but really the TLDR here is "vote not guilty. Refuse to budge." EZ PZ, Luigi goes home, literally everyone points and Nelson-laughs at the CEO and cops
