The Left's New Charlie Manson, Dreamboat Killer Luigi Mangione, Pleads Guilty to Federal Stalking Resulting in a Death, Admits He Murdered Brian Thompson

If he's killed in prison, it's your fault.

Do better.

Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges and admitted in federal court on Friday that he shot and killed a health care executive in Manhattan in 2024.

"I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan. I understood that my actions would place him in fear of death of bodily injury. I knew what I was doing was illegal," Mangione told the judge, the New York Times reported.

Judge Margaret M. Garnett accepted the plea and said she will sentence Mangione on Dec. 18. He faces a maximum of life in prison.

Mangione, 28, was not charged with murder in the federal case, which accused him only of stalking Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare. He still faces a murder charge in state court, which is scheduled to go to trial next month.

In federal court, Mangione faced one count of interstate stalking resulting in death and one count of stalking through use of interstate facilities resulting in death. Both charges carry a maximum potential sentence of life in prison.

And he'd better get life in prison. I'm seeing on twitter that New York state has a more expansive definition of double jeopardy than most states, or the feds, do. Double jeopardy usually applies for the exact same charges. So in most jurisdictions, a conviction for stalking with intent to kill would not result in a bar for prosecuting this scumbag for murder under New York state law.

But apparently in New York, a judge might rule that the charges are close enough so that double jeopardy does apply.

So if we don't get life in prison... well, this plea might wind up wiping out the New York state prosecution.
