Luigi Mangione\u2019s lawyers say their client can\u2019t be tried for murder now that he\u2019s pleaded guilty to federal stalking<\/a> charges. At issue is a voluntary admission that his stalking led to the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, which is not an element of stalking but can be a sentencing enhancement. And his team hope this is enough to trigger New York\u2019s broad double jeopardy restrictions. Why is the Department of Justice going along with this?
