“I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan and he died” - Luigi Mangione Mangione pleaded guilty in federal court Friday to two federal stalking charges in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, admitting he researched Thompson and the company’s investor conference before traveling to New York with the intent to kill him. There was no plea agreement with prosecutors. The judge set sentencing for Dec. 18 and warned Mangione that each count carries a potential life sentence. The federal guilty plea could also give Mangione an avenue to seek dismissal of the separate New York state murder case under double jeopardy protections, potentially affecting the state trial scheduled to begin with jury selection next month.
