Luigi Mangione pleads guilty in federal case, admits he killed US insurance CEO
Luigi Mangione admitted in court on Friday to fatally shooting US health insurance executive Brian Thompson and pleaded guilty to two federal charges of stalking the executive with the intent to kill him.
“I shot Mr Thompson in Manhattan and he died,” Mangione said.
The guilty plea will avert a federal trial in the closely watched case over the killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, a brazen crime that was condemned by public officials but became emblematic of Americans’ frustration with health insurance industry practices.
It could also allow him to seek dismissal of state murder charges and avoid a coming trial in that case.
US District Judge Margaret Garnett told Mangione that if he pleaded guilty he could face a maximum sentence of life in prison on each count. Garnett set Mangione’s sentencing for December 18.
Jamie McDonald, the Manhattan US Attorney, told reporters that his office would seek a sentence of life imprisonment.
