Luigi Mangione has admitted to shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson:
“After years of enduring severe pain from a broken back… I learned UnitedHealth would be holding an investor conference in New York City. I then researched the event online. I observed the annual conference of America’s largest healthcare organization with the stated mission to make the healthcare system better for everyone.
I traveled to New York and emailed UnitedHealthcare with the intent to kill Brian Thompson… I shot Mr. Thompson in the back. I knew what I was doing was illegal.”
A pretty good life too given how many people look up to him. He could start grifting and selling books and doing talks and whatnot. If he ever struggles to find a job due to the whole “assassinated a CEO” situation, I’m sure there’s enough randos who would be willing to donate to him to fund a reasonable lifestyle.
I’m not familiar with US law, but surely they’d require someone who literally intentionally shot and killed someone to go for parole though? In which case I imagine they’d be quite stringent on what he has to do to get parole eg renounce his views or whatever.
