New York, New York - Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing a health insurance boss in Manhattan, may plead guilty to stalking charges in his federal case, The New York Times reported Thursday.
Mangione is alleged to have shot and killed the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson (50), in New York in December 2024.
In an alleged manifesto, the 28-year-old outlined complaints against the US healthcare system and massive companies like UnitedHealthcare.
"They continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it," he reportedly wrote.
He is facing stalking charges in the federal system, alongside murder charges in the state system.
The stalking charges and the murder charges could both lead to life sentences. Two other federal charges that carried the death penalty were thrown out by a judge earlier this year.
Mangione is due in court for a conference between his defense attorneys, prosecutors and the judge on Friday, officials said.
His lawyers did not respond to a request for comment. Prosecutors declined to comment.
Mangione's state trial is currently slated to begin with jury selection on September 7.
Earlier this week, Judge Gregory Carro announced that the jurors would receive anonymity to protect them from possible harassment or intimidation in the high-profile case.
