Luigi Mangione Pleads Guilty — But Where Was the Remorse?

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Michael Smerconish

Michael Smerconish reacts to Luigi Mangione’s guilty plea in the killing of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson — and to what he says was notably missing: remorse. He examines Mangione’s courtroom statement, his lawyers’ double-jeopardy strategy, and the continuing public anger toward America’s health insurance system. Then, listeners weigh in on a provocative question: Do Mangione’s grievances with the health care system mitigate his crime in any way? The answers leave Michael stunned.
