Mangione Faces Federal Stalking Charges | Newark News

Luigi Mangione, 28, is set to plead guilty to federal stalking charges tied to the fatal ambush of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, outside a NYC hotel in December 2024. The plea could derail his upcoming state murder trial under double jeopardy rules, as federal prosecutors allege Mangione stalked Thompson with intent to kill. Evidence includes a 3D-printed gun matching the murder weapon and a notebook detailing his plan to kill an insurance exec — both admitted by a federal judge. His defense dropped a psychiatric insanity argument, which isn’t allowed federally. Both cases carry life sentences, and earlier dismissed death penalty charges may now be moot if he pleads guilty.
