Luigi Mangione expected to plead guilty in New York federal case

Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty on Friday to federal stalking charges in Manhattan regarding the 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. This federal plea could potentially derail or delay his separate New York state murder trial scheduled for next month. While the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office claims primary jurisdiction, it may still pursue a trial if the plea deal terms are unsatisfactory. Sources indicate the announcement will occur during a federal court hearing.
