Luigi Mangione pleads guilty to federal stalking charges in striking reversal
Luigi Mangione is facing the possibility of life in federal prison for stalking charges related to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges against UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a surprising reversal from his earlier not guilty plea in state court. The Ivy League graduate is facing a potential life sentence if convicted. The charges stem from Thompson's murder in December 2024, for which Mangione is still awaiting trial in New York state.
Mangione's transformation from defendant to defendant-guilt-raiser has cast doubt on the murder case, potentially allowing his attorneys to argue double jeopardy.
