Mangione Pleads Guilty to Federal Charges in Death of Minnesota Health Insurance Executive
Luigi Mangione has pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges for the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4, 2024.
Mangione's decision to plead guilty allows him to avoid a federal trial and may impact a separate murder case against him in New York state court.
The charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett scheduled sentencing for December 18, with the government suggesting a sentence of 24-30 years.
