Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty in federal court to stalking charges in the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, describing his plan in court. The federal plea could trigger New York’s double jeopardy protections, potentially ending or delaying the state case on second‑degree murder and weapons charges, with sentencing in December and prosecutors signaling they will press forward if the state case remains viable.
