Mangione expected to plead guilty in murder case of insurance CEO: reports
The plea talks come ahead of a Friday hearing set at the joint request of federal prosecutors and defence lawyers
According to a source familiar with the matter, Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty as early as Friday in federal court for his alleged role in the stalking and killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The incident occurred on December 4, 2024, when Mangione allegedly ambushed Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel. If Mangione follows through with his plea, it would be a significant development in a case that has garnered attention from business leaders and critics alike.
Mangione's lawyers and the Justice Department have declined to comment on the matter. The federal charges against Mangione include two counts of stalking. His state case, which involves charges of murder and firearms offenses, is set to begin on September 8.
