Mangione pleads guilty to killing UnitedHealthcare CEO as family condemns act

In New York, Luigi Mangione told a federal court he killed Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, after planning and using a 3D‑printed gun; Thompson’s family cried as the plea was accepted. Prosecutors say they will seek life in prison at sentencing on December 18 for the federal charges, which include two stalking counts. Mangione also faces eight New York state felony counts, and his lawyers have moved to dismiss those charges on double-jeopardy grounds due to parallel prosecutions. There was no plea deal in the federal case, and state proceedings remain on separate track.
