Luigi Mangione Expected to Plead Guilty in Federal Case Over UnitedHealthcare CEO Killing
Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty in a federal case related to the 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione, charged with stalking and ambushing Thompson outside a New York hotel, faces both federal and state charges that could result in life imprisonment. A state murder trial is scheduled for September. Previous plea negotiations have stalled, and it remains unclear if the state trial will proceed if Mangione pleads guilty federally. Both Mangione's lawyers and prosecutors have declined to comment.
