> Luigi Mangione told a Manhattan federal judge he plans to plead guilty to a stalking charge resulting in the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. A judge previously dismissed the federal murder and weapons counts. Mangione still faces separate murder, weapons and forgery charges in New York state court, where the plea could affect arguments over dismissal.
