Luigi Mangione's defense team discussed plea deal in federal case: ABC News sources
- Defense attorneys for Luigi Mangione and federal prosecutors in Manhattan discussed a potential guilty plea ahead of a scheduled Monday hearing, but failed to reach an agreement, sources told ABC News.
- On December 4, 2024, Thompson was killed on a Manhattan sidewalk as he walked to a UnitedHealth Group investor conference; Mangione was arrested five days later at a McDonald in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
- Prosecutors introduced a 3D-printed pistol and notebook as evidence linking Mangione to the killing, while a judge dismissed two federal terrorism-related murder charges, sparing him the death penalty.
- Mangione is scheduled to appear in federal court on Monday, where U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnet will preside over discussions of trial planning and jury selection.
- Defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo characterized reports of plea talks as a "deliberate pattern" to prejudice Mangione's trial, while the defense previously withdrew plans to pursue a psychiatric defense.
