Luigi Mangione, the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, pleaded guilty Friday to federal stalking charges, potentially capping a saga that captivated the public and ignited fiery national debate over the insurance industry.⁠
⁠
Before accepting the plea, Mangione admitted to killing the healthcare executive, saying, "On the morning of Dec 4, 2024, I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan in his back. I understood my actions would place him in fear of death and bodily injury. I knew what I was doing was illegal." ⁠
⁠
Following Mangione's court appearance, the U.S. Attorney General for the Southern District of New York Jamie McDonald explained during a press conference that Mangione pleading guilty was not part of a plea agreement, and he could still face the maximum sentence.⁠
