There's been a major development in the case against Luigi Mangioni, the 28-year-old charged in connection with the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024.
He originally pleaded not guilty to all state and federal charges, but on Friday, Magioni pled guilty to federal stalking charges and admitted to shooting Thompson.
So why did he change his plea and what does it mean for the future of the
New York State case where he's still set to be tried for second degree murder?
I'm CBS News legal analyst and criminal defense attorney Caroline Pelisi, and this is a special episode of 48 Hours Case by Case.
Joining me today is CBS News legal reporter and attorney Katrina Kaufman, who was in the courtroom during this stunning turn of events.
Welcome, Katrina.
I mean, we all want to know what was it like in court?
So I was struck by the comments the US attorney for the Southern District of New York made after this plea.
He said, quote, there can be no celebrity in assassination, which I think really seems to target the sensationalism around this case.
You know, there's been such intense public fascination with really like every twist and turn of this case.
Why so much attention on just this one case?
Yeah.
not only did Mangioni plead guilty to those stalking charges, but he actually admitted to killing and and he went into great detail about his role in the shooting and its planning, right?
Can you can you share some of what he said?
Wow, that must have been that must have been really intense.
So, Katrina, I mean, I think a lot of people are just confused at this point because he just said in open court that he shot Brian Thompson, and yet he's still in the position where he's pleading not guilty to that second degree murder charge in the New York State case, which is, you know, on the docket to start next month.
And that's confusing to a lot of people.
And this has really been the issue from the get-go that Mangioni's attorneys have been arguing.
