Mangione pleaded guilty to federal charges of interstate stalking resulting in death. Thompson, a 50-year-old father of two, was shot from behind as he approached a hotel in midtown Manhattan.
Following the plea hearing, Thompson's family released a statement acknowledging it as "an important step toward justice for Brian and for our family."
