If he pleads guilty, he faces two federal charges with maximum life sentences, though it's unclear which specific charges are under discussion.

Story summary

Luigi Mangione, 28, has pleaded guilty to two federal charges of stalking with the intent to kill Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, who was fatally shot on a Manhattan street in December 2024. The plea deal comes after reports of a potential agreement between Mangione's lawyers and federal prosecutors. Mangione also faces state murder charges, but his state trial has been postponed indefinitely due to double jeopardy claims. In court, Mangione read from a prepared statement criticizing the US health insurance system before admitting to shooting Thompson. The guilty plea will avert a federal trial, but there is no guarantee of leniency at sentencing.
