Luigi Mangione admits killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson | ABC NEWS
Luigi Mangione has admitted to fatally shooting a health insurance executive and pleaded guilty to two federal charges of stalking the executive with the intent to kill him.
The guilty plea will avert a federal trial in the closely watched case over the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a brazen crime that was condemned by public officials but became emblematic of Americans’ frustration with health insurance industry practices.
It could also allow Mangione, 28, to seek dismissal of state murder charges and delay an upcoming trial in that case.
