Luigi Mangione Pleads Guilty: What Happens Now? - A Conversation with Josh Ritter

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong breaks down the stunning legal turn in the case of Luigi Mangione, the man who admitted to shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan sidewalk in December 2024. After 21 months of pleading not guilty in every courtroom, Mangione stood before a federal judge and confessed -- with no deal, no agreement, and no promises from prosecutors seeking life in prison. Candice is joined by former Los Angeles prosecutor and legal analyst Josh Ritter to unpack why a defendant would plead guilty to everything and get nothing in return, whether New York's double jeopardy laws can shut down a separate state murder trial, and what this case reveals about a country increasingly willing to celebrate an admitted killer as a folk hero.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.
