Luigi Mangione Pleads Guilty in Federal Stalking Case | Chicago News

Luigi Mangione, 28, just pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges tied to the December 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50 — a killing that shocked the nation. Mangione admitted he stalked Thompson with intent to kill, a chilling admission made in Manhattan federal court and likely to reshape his upcoming state murder trial. While prosecutors warned this plea could trigger double jeopardy issues, evidence like a 3D-printed gun and a notebook detailing his murderous plan remains central. The defense’s psychiatric angle is off the table in federal court, forcing a legal pivot as the system grapples with whether this federal plea will effectively end the case — or if the state trial will still go forward.
