Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty in stalking case, NYT reports
Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty in stalking case, NYT reports Aug 13 (Reuters) - Luigi Mangione, the man accused of gunning down a health insurance executive in New York in 2024, is expected to plead guilty on Friday in Manhattan federal court, where he faces stalking charges, the New York Times reported on Thursday, citing two people with knowledge of the matter.
The federal stalking case is separate from charges of murder, weapons and forgery brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Mangione has already pleaded not guilty in that case.
Mangione, 28, is accused of shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a hotel in December 2024. The killing was widely condemned by public officials but became emblematic of many Americans’ frustration with health insurance industry practices.
