Plea in Federal Case Jeopardizes Mangione’s Manhattan Murder Trial
TL;DR Summary
Mangione pled guilty in a federal case charging interstate stalking and cyberstalking in the December 4, 2024 shooting that killed Brian Thompson, prompting defense to seek dismissal of the separate Manhattan murder case on double-jeopardy grounds. Prosecutors say they will continue in state court, and a briefing schedule (and possibly a hearing) will be set before jury selection; the outcome could effectively end the state trial.
