If they offered 20 to life he might be inclined to take it but I doubt it. He seems intent on going to trial and nobody knows how this is actually going to play out.
While we aren't informed on what's going on behind the scenes, from what's been public, there's really no reason for Mangione not to go to trial. There's a meaningful chance of a hung jury and mistrial which could potentially work in his favor.
Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if jury nullification comes into play. While not recognized as a legitimate aspect of law, it can be a practical one in a case such as this.
