The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office — which has claimed “primary jurisdiction” in the case because it charged Mangione with the murder first — could also still push to take Mangione to trial if it disapproves of the terms of any plea deal.
Mangione would still likely face a potential life sentence if he were to plead guilty in federal court. The move comes less than a month before he is scheduled to go on trial in a separate murder case in New York court for the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Star Tribune reported the story as "Luigi Mangione, facing stalking charges in federal court, is expected to plead guilty." New York Post reported the story as "Luigi Mangione expected to plead guilty to federal charges in assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO."
