Luigi Mangione seemed to finally feel the full weight of his crime in court, becoming emotional during the proceedings … so says the sketch artist.

Christine Cornell — who has sketched Luigi numerous times during his legal journey — said on CNN he’s always seemed distant in the courtroom … listening intently to the hearings but not conveying any feeling.

She likens him to a husky … a beautiful dog — but it’s impossible to tell exactly what they’re thinking.

However, she says today — while admitting to killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and pleading guilty to federal stalking charges — she says he finally showed all of the emotion he’d seemingly been hiding.

Christine says Luigi’s voice shook and — though he didn’t cry — he looked close to tears.

The CNN host Erin Burnett asks Christine if he could’ve been playing up the scene for the judge in order to possibly get a lighter sentence down the line … but she shoots down the theory — telling the host she’s certain his emotions were genuine.

As you know … Luigi pled guilty to federal stalking charges — without a deal with prosecutors in place. He’s essentially throwing himself at the mercy of the court and hoping for a less severe sentence.

Federal sentencing guidelines state Luigi should receive between 24 and 30 years … and a judge has already stated he will need to serve 85% of his sentence. If given 24 years, Luigi could be out in 20.

At least one of Brian Thompson’s family members — his uncle, Bruce Thompson — told The Times he wants Luigi to “get what he deserves” adding the family wants the judge to hand out the maximum sentence possible.

As for Luigi’s state murder trial … his lawyers have filed a documents arguing the guilty plea should mean double jeopardy is in play — and that his New York state charges should be dismissed.
