Luigi Mangione在联邦法院认罪，承认2024年12月4日在纽约曼哈顿枪杀了UnitedHealthcare首席执行官Brian Thompson[1]。法官Margaret Garnett对Mangione在两项联邦骚扰罪上的认罪予以确认[1]，并定于12月18日进行量刑[1]。每项罪名最高可判终身监禁[1]。
此举意味着Mangione将避免联邦审判，但他仍需面对纽约州层面的谋杀指控[1]。州级审判计划于9月8日进行，若被判二级谋杀罪，他将面临25年至终身监禁[1]。Mangione称，他在背部骨折后研究了UnitedHealthcare的投资者会议，并使用3D打印机制造枪支零件[1]。
Luigi Mangione has entered guilty pleas to two federal harassment charges in connection with the December 4, 2024 shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York [1]. Thompson was killed outside a hotel where an investor conference was being held [1]. By accepting the federal guilty pleas, Mangione has avoided a federal trial, though he faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment on each count [1]. Federal Judge Margaret Garnett scheduled his sentencing hearing for December 18 [1].
Mangione's plea in the federal case does not resolve his outstanding state-level charges in New York, where he faces murder and weapons allegations [1]. According to prosecutors, Mangione conducted research on UnitedHealthcare's investor conference after suffering a back fracture and used a 3D printer to manufacture firearm components [1]. A state trial is scheduled for September 8, where Mangione could face 25 years to life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder [1].
