Luigi Mangione, the 28-year-old accused of killing a health care executive on a Manhattan street, pleaded guilty to stalking charges in federal court Friday.

Mangione faced those charges in connection with the December 2024 shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

"I knew what I was doing," Mangione said in court Friday. "I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan and he died."

Thompson's family was in the courtroom sitting in the front row watching as Mangione entered his plea. Mangione voiced no remorse and repeatedly referenced his concerns with the U.S. health care system.

Wow, I was expecting this to go to trial and be more drawn out.

Well despite the issues with the chain of evidence, and not reading maranda rights, key evidence of the gun and notebook were admissible. Those were going to be significant hurdles in his defense

But the chain of custody failures fundamentally undermine the gun and notebook as evidence. I don’t understand how they are just letting that whole argument go.

"No grievance, political belief, or ideological cause can justify murder."

Unless its sanctioned by the state 🙄

Yes he deserved to die and hope he burns in hell

We need a revolution. We need to sieze the assets of the politicians and CEOs for restitution to the American people and charge them with crimes against humanity
