Luigi Mangione may be mulling over a guilty plea, because a new report states his lawyers have discussed a deal with prosecutors.
According to ABC News … the alleged murderer’s legal team and federal prosecutors have discussed a possible plea ahead of a court hearing scheduled for Monday.
Sources told the outlet it’s unclear how close the two sides got to getting a deal done, but they discussed it.
As you know … Mangione has been charged with murder at the state level — while he’s facing interstate stalking charges at the federal level in connection to the shooting death of former UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Mangione’s defense initially claimed he would argue an extreme emotional distress defense … then walked that back just a day later — though sources told us they plan to bring it up again later.
The state murder trial is set to begin on September 8.
