New York, Aug. 15 -- Luigi Mangione admitted in court on Friday to fatally shooting 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 in the early morning of December 4, 2024. It could also allow him to seek dismissal of state murder charges and avoid an upcoming trial in that case. P2
