Remember the eye brows on the photos. That is not Luigi in the photos!

How insane would it be if he got off due to a technicality. Not holding my breath, but here's hoping.

Alec Baldwin got off because of screw-ups like this. Seems like when there's a high profile case, all the big shots who normally don't do any work all want to jump in and be involved. And then make stupid mistakes because they don't have any real experience because they're normally too important to work a case.

Not really that insane. Cops are mostly useless and fuck shit up all the time.

[–] Tm12 9 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Mostly. Have a look at this chart to see their real impact.

oh I absolutely believe the allegation as plausible.

They NEEDED a fall guy for this and they NEEDED it to be so cut and dry that they could quickly make an example of him.

Even if Luigi DID do it? This is railroading for the sake of trying to scare everyone else to stay in place.

That's the thing... Everyone is acting like this guy totally do it.

From the start I had my doubts. Something felt off.

The only thing I know is that the government needs somebody to go to prison over this. They don't care who though. This is the culture of law enforcement, so not even specific to Luigi's case.

So we have to believe that they found this dude in fucking McDonald's with everything on him to get a conviction?!

But people are buying it... Sure he has support but they also believe that he is a the guy who committed the crime. And I am just not convinced.

Government behaviour around this case is suspect.

Imagine if it's actually not him, and the real guy was able to get away because nobody's looking any more.

he is-a the guy

👀

Feels too... Tidy really. Too much like something out of a movie. High profile murder. Killer found. Killer has clear motive and everything is found on or near the guy. Suspect makes statements that sound like something Killer would say in that position.

A line from the Running man comes to mind.

'Once again proving Might and Right are one and the same!'

In reference to a fake staged fight where State Sponsored Execution Reality TV kills a stunt double digitally made to look like the fugitive of the moment that has been making a mockery of The System. very neat. very tidy. Also, very Bullshit.

It's entirely possible he's just not the criminal mastermind everyone thinks he is.

I believe they call it Security Theatre

Really appears like they planted a backpack full of evidence on this innocent person, cops were desperate for a win

Then botched his 4th Amendment rights and will likely get away with it becuase government needs him in prison for this to make the parasite class happy

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Republican judges have been itching to do away with the exclusionary rule. It's not written into the Constitution.

The 4th prohibits unlawful search and seizure but doesn't specify a remedy. The exceptions practically swallow the rule as it is now; attenuation of the taint, good faith, public safety, independent source, inevitable discovery, to name a few.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

As a non lawyer reading that list of exceptions, it sounds like it will be easy for the prosecutors to get a few to apply?

[–] [email protected] 69 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

There is zero chance any judge going to exclude the conviction starter package the "police found on him"

You don't go through all of that parallel construction to have it gutted like that.

Trust me bro a guy who shot the parasite CEO decided to carry all of the evidence needed for conviction on him for 5 days 🤡

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's not entirely out of the question, but it does require considerable evidence. It's possible that he carried it so that it wouldn't be left somewhere as evidence, until he could get somewhere that he could safely destroy it.

That said, there are some pretty gaping holes with that explanation that would need to be filled first.

Any number of thousands of dumpsters between NY and PA would have worked fine.

The longer the case goes on the less convinced I am that he was actually the killer. It feels like there's a new "weird" thing about the case every week.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 hours ago

It's entirely possible he's that stupid.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 hours ago

Please be true
