If you think the title is misleading, you might not understand what he plead guilty to. It wasn’t just stalking. It was stalking resulting in death.
Federal sentencing guidelines suggest a range of 24 to 30 years in prison. However, because the stalking resulted in death, federal prosecutors intend to seek the maximum sentence of life in prison.
It was stalking leading to death, for which they’re asking for life in prison. So not your run of the mill stalking case. There are a few people downplaying the seriousness of this guilty plea, but denial is the first step in the stages of grief. He’s going away for life.
I am guessing you are being sarcastic here, because I assume it is not common to get life in prison for stalking. Even one resulting in death.
I am not. From a CNN article “Federal sentencing guidelines suggest a range of 24 to 30 years in prison. However, because the stalking resulted in death, federal prosecutors intend to seek the maximum sentence of life in prison. His federal sentencing is scheduled for December 18, 2026.”
Not sure why you’re down playing the seriousness of this news. If you’re still holding onto hope that Luigi is going to get a slap on the wrist or something, I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
How so? He plead guilty to guilty to federal stalking charges resulting in death, for which he will likely be sentenced to life in prison.
See, this is exactly what I’m talking about.
SatansMaggotyCumFart is almost always making a joke. Every once in a while he says something not joking or trolling, and it’s wierd.
Yeah, seems complicated.
Mangione still faces murder charges in a state trial set to begin next month, but his guilty plea in federal court is expected to have significant impacts on the state trial. New York state’s strict double jeopardy law could potentially upend those proceedings. That law says that a defendant can’t be tried twice for the same thing.
Mangione’s defense team cited that law in a motion filed Friday, shortly after his federal guilty plea, urging state court Judge Gregory Carro to dismiss state charges against him, including a count of 2nd degree murder. If successful, that legal maneuver could spare Mangione a longer prison term.
I can’t imagine the state dropping charges because he pled to stalking, while also admitting the murder.
Yeah, no jury at all. State charges are still pending, so we’ll see if those continue. Seems unlikely to have a state trial if he’s already plead guilty to federal charges.
I dunno though, I’m not a lawyer.
Luigi Mangione, the 28-year-old accused of killing a health care executive on a Manhattan street, pleaded guilty to stalking charges in federal court Friday.
Mangione faced those charges in connection with the December 2024 shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
“I knew what I was doing,” Mangione said in court Friday. “I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan and he died.”
Thompson’s family was in the courtroom sitting in the front row watching as Mangione entered his plea. Mangione voiced no remorse and repeatedly referenced his concerns with the U.S. health care system.
Wow, I was expecting this to go to trial and be more drawn out.
I hate how accurate that is

I think the best system would be not to allow tariffs to be illegally implemented in the first place. But I realize that’s asking a lot.
ROFL even
Unfortunately (or fortunately, probably) contract law doesn’t really work that way. If you sneakily change a contract or even verbally misrepresent what’s in that contract, it can be challenged in court.
It can be difficult to prove though. For example, if a car sales person verbally says your car payment will be $100 but the contract you sign says $1,000 then you can argue in court that they misrepresented what you signed and the $100 should stand. But it’s hard to prove what was said was different than what was signed.
Same concept if your landlord signed something, sent it to you to sign and you modified it to something else without communicating a change. If they can show the original document they sent you, you’re boned.
Yeah, I was saying the cheating being AI usage is what couldn’t be proven. They mentioned a few other possibilities like the tests being leaked or people working off camera with them.
But yeah, the cheating is obvious. And the likelihood of it being done by AI is damn near certain.
The headline kind of misses the main point, which is that the students have to retake the exam because cheating was so rampant, likely due to AI usage but that can’t be proven.
Between 2021 and 2025, 3.5 percent of test takers scored 100 or more on the 120-question UNAM test. This year, 16.3 percent did so.
The story was even worse at the highest of the high end. Between 2021 and 2025, 0.9 percent of test takers scored 110 or more; this year, 5.5 percent did so.
Ah shit that reminds me, is Mitch McConnell still alive?
Keep in mind this teacher is in her early 20s. Most people that age don’t really know much about how computers and files work.
What the fuck? They looked at the world recently and said “yeah, climate change isn’t as much of a problem as it was before”?!?
