Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty as early as Friday in the federal case accusing him of stalking and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a stunning development in a case that rattled business leaders while galvanizing their critics, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Stalking resulting in death, is as close to murder as you can get with federal charges. There’s no federal murder statute.
They’re the same action.
He’s not getting away without a murder charge, and he’s never getting out of prison.
Ok…. The federal charges carry a life sentence. So not sure what your point is.
The NY state law is extremely strict and this would kill the state case. That’s not opinion. That’s NY law.
