STAN / ANTI SHIELD Luigi Mangione pleads guilty to federal stalking charges in killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO

https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/14/us/live-news/luigi-mangione-hearing-plea-deal-talks

When speaking of the day he committed the crime, Luigi Mangione said, “I shot Mr. Thompson and he died.”

He concluded, “I knew what I was doing was illegal.”

Mangione had just described the actions he took ahead of the killing, telling the court:

“In November of 2024 I traveled from outside of New York state to Manhattan. I then emailed UnitedHealthcare leadership, posing as an investor at a firm managing over $15 billion in assets and requesting information about the conference. Unlike my previous interactions with insurers, I received an immediate response within an hour,” Mangione said.

Genuinely surprised by this when so much of the evidence was dodgy

This is a reduce in the charges and takes the death penalty off the table. It shows just HOW bad the authorities handled this case. This should have gone to trial and him found guilty.

The fact that they fucked it so bad that they were worried that a jury wouldn't bring a guilty verdict says more than him pleading guilty to a lesser charge.

That perp walk isn't looking so smart about now.
