  "summary": "Luigi Mangione, 28, is scheduled to appear in a New York court for an unplanned hearing with prosecutors. According to sources, he is expected to plead guilty to federal charges related to stalking and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.\n\nMangione faces both federal and state charges in connection with Thompson's death. He has pleaded not guilty in both trials. A plea deal in the federal case could impact his state trial, set to begin next month, due to potential double jeopardy concerns.\n\nThe hearing is set for 11 a.m. on Friday, although plans for the guilty plea are not final and may change. If a plea deal is reached, it could change the outcome of his New York murder trial.",
