Luigi Mangione Pleads Guilty in CEO Stalking Case | Rochester News

Luigi Mangione just pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges in the shocking killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, admitting he tracked him to a conference and fatally shot him on a NYC street in December 2024. Facing a possible life sentence, Mangione’s plea may shield him from a separate New York murder trial, as his lawyers argue double jeopardy applies — though he’s taking full blame for Thompson’s death. Motivated by years of chronic pain and frustration with the health system, Mangione’s case included damning evidence like a 3D-printed gun and a notebook outlining his plan — all admitted into federal court. His defense dropped a psychiatric angle for the state case, hoping the federal conviction will block further prosecution under New York law.
