Mangione Expected to Plead Guilty to Federal Stalking Charges

Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan two years ago, is expected to plead guilty to federal stalking charges on Friday, according to the New York Times.

The plea deal could jeopardize Mangione's state trial, which begins on September 8 and carries a possible sentence of 25 years to life for second-degree murder.

Mangione was previously charged with federal murder charges, but those were dismissed earlier this year. He faces several counts of second-degree murder in the state case.

The specifics of Mangione's plea are unclear, and he could change his mind at any minute, according to the report.
