Mangione may plead guilty in federal case
Luigi Mangione faces stalking charges over the killing of UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson.
Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, may plead guilty to stalking charges in his federal case, according to The New York Times. The 50-year-old Thompson was shot dead in December 2024 in Manhattan, reportedly as a protest against the US insurance system. Mangione faces both stalking charges in the federal system and murder charges in the state system, both of which could result in a life sentence.
Previously, two other federal charges that carried the death penalty were dismissed by a judge. Mangione is scheduled to appear in court for a conference with his defense attorneys, prosecutors, and the judge on Friday. His legal team did not provide a comment to requests for information. Prosecutors also declined to comment on the matter.
