In short:
Luigi Mangione, the man accused of stalking and killing US health insurance CEO Brian Thompson is expected to plead guilty in a federal court case against him.
The move could lead to double jeopardy in a separate state case arising from the same alleged incident.
What's next?
Mr Mangione is due in court on Friday, local time, for a hastily scheduled hearing in the federal case.

He should be sentenced to 30 days in jail. Then have that reduced to home arrest. Then if he completes his 30 days of home arrest they expunge his record.
Seems fair to me.

Hope jury nullifies.

If he's taking a plea deal, there won't be a jury.

The article didn't say if he is, unless I misread.

He just pled guilty.

That doesn't mean he took a deal.

Why would someone the government hates be given the cushy treatment afforded to someone the government likes?

Rubbish ruling, rubbish rule.

We're going to remove death from the options, but then also allow the rules to be completely broken in favor of the prosecution.

Not sure why he'd plead guilty, he was at my place all day and night
