U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald for @SDNYnews on Luigi Mangione's guilty plea today: “He stands convicted in federal court and faces life in prison. While the defendant pleaded guilty, our office does not have a plea agreement with him. Instead, he pleaded open, which means he pleaded guilty to all pending counts in the indictment. There are no accommodations or concessions, and we are free to seek the maximum penalty under the law… The results achieved today now allow our office to seek the maximum penalty allowed — life imprisonment.”
