Luigi Mangione, the 28-year-old accused of brazenly killing a healthcare CEO on the streets of Manhattan, is poised to accept a deal with prosecutors to settle the federal stalking charges against him, according to The Associated Press. He is scheduled to appear in court Friday to discuss the details, which are not yet publicly known. The deal would come just weeks ahead of his state murder trial, scheduled to begin Sept. 8.Mangione has alleged the federal and state cases together amount to unconstitutional double jeopardy, in which a person is prosecuted twice for the same crime. He blurted out during a court hearing earlier this year: “Same trial twice. One plus one is two. Double jeopardy by any common-sense definition.”It was not immediately clear how the plea may affect the state case, given that New York has special protections against double jeopardy.
