In short:
Luigi Mangione, the man accused of stalking and killing US health insurance CEO Brian Thompson is expected to plead guilty in a federal court case against him.
The move could lead to double jeopardy in a separate state case arising from the same alleged incident.
What’s next?
Mr Mangione is due in court on Friday, local time, for a hastily scheduled hearing in the federal case.
Why would someone the government hates be given the cushy treatment afforded to someone the government likes?
