Mangione Expected to Plead Guilty in Federal Case Over UnitedHealth CEO Murder
The man accused of killing UnitedHealth Group Inc CEO Brian Thompson is expected to plead guilty in the federal case involving Thompson's death.
Luigi Mangione, 28, faces two counts of stalking and was set to go on trial for murder in September. However, his decision to plead guilty could impact the state prosecution under New York's double jeopardy protections.
Mangione is scheduled to appear in Manhattan federal court for a hastily scheduled hearing, where he will likely enter a plea. The exact charges he will plead guilty to are unclear, but it may affect the state case that is set to begin on September 8.
