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.
What? Luigi literally just said he did it.
He told a judge that he followed Thompson to a UnitedHealth Group investor conference and shot him on the morning of Dec 4 2024. He also explained that leading up to the murder he emailed UnitedHealthcare while pretending to be an investor at a firm managing more than $50 million in assets so he could get information about the conference. He also acknowledged building a 3D-printed gun with a silencer and that this was the weapon he used for the shooting.
And I quote
“On the morning of Dec 4 2024 I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan and he died”
This isn’t new information to anyone who actually knows about the case… we all know he did it, we’re all just pretending like he’s innocent because we support him
yet these comments read like people don’t understand that we’re joking when we say he’s innocent.
That’s concerning that you guys are so thick you literally don’t recognize jokes when you see them anymore.
There’s nothing to argue about it. He did it. He admitted it. He’s pleading guilty.
Anyone in the comments who literally thinks he’s innocent is a fucking moron
The words of a man threatened with death. Plenty of innocent people take a plea deal under similar threats every day.
