Is Luigi Mangione facing double jeopardy after his guilty plea?

Criminal defense lawyer Damon Cheronis joins Karen Conti to discuss Luigi Mangione pleading guilty to federal charges relating to the homicide of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Damon explains the charges against Mangione in state and federal court and how they differ, what is next in the case, why Mangione’s lawyers are claiming double jeopardy, and whether the New York judge is likely to sentence Mangione to life in prison.

Damon also comments on the Tupac Shakur murder trial that began last week in Las Vegas.
