Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty to federal murder charges that carry a possible death sentence and pressed a judge to fast-track the case ahead of a related state trial in the shooting of a UnitedHealth Group Inc. executive.

Mangione, 26, is charged with stalking and shooting Brian Thompson outside a hotel in Manhattan on Dec. 4. Wearing a tan prison outfit, he stood and entered the plea at a hearing in Manhattan Friday.
