    The IMPORTANT thing is to KEEP using RANDOM ass UPPERCASE in CLICKBAIT title SENTENCES. That is NOT at ALL irritating.

      Aunt Sally?

      Did somebody hide your Facebook icon again? Oh, I’m talking about the Internet button that has the blue F on it.

    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.

          We don’t know that. What we know is that the police searched him and his bag at the McDonalds, without properly reading him his Miranda rights before questioning him.

          There is no indication that they found the gun or journal at this point in time.

          They then arrested him, packed up his bag and took it to the station, where a subsequent search found the journal and gun.

          Additionally, the Mayor and police chief released discovery evidence to an HBO documentary, but apparently not to Luigi’s defense lawyers… completely tainting the potential jury pool while making it clear that the prosecution is withholding evidence from the defense.

          There’s a whole lot here that doesn’t pass the smell test. If it’s a frame up, why this guy in particular? And if it’s not a frame up, why the obvious attempt to hide what they have from the defense?

          i think that he likely did do it, but the FBI used an illegal surveillance technique to catch him - my guess is facial recognition through hacked security cameras. Exposing this technique would be contrary to the bureau’s interests. I don’t see any reason why Luigi would have the gun on him, or the journal after the shooting, so I’m really questioning the validity of that evidence - I mean it’s murder 101 to get rid of the weapon, and unless you want to be caught, you don’t carry around written evidence on your person saying “Hey, I’m gonna shoot this guy”.

          So yeah, there’s a whole lot here that doesn’t add up.

      How would it benefit the rich to have the real killer running lose while a random guy goes to jail??

      This is the weirdest conspiracy so far.

      It’s him, he did it, and praise him for doing it, he’s a legend. Neither he or his lawyers are denying it.

      It’s super weird that people on the Internet are insisting it isn’t him

        Not the rich, but politicians, police leadership, and DAs.

        They don’t want to talk about how murders can go unsolved and crime unpunished in the cities they manage and protect.

        They want to demonstrate that when they show up in force they are able to quickly solve a crime and bring a criminal to justice. One, so they can keep getting elected and two so that others don’t think they can get away with committing crimes.

        The DA will want to push a conviction so that they look tough on crime for their political campaigns. Often times withholding evidence that might harm their case.

        I don’t know if it happened in this case, but it has happened before where police will railroad a suspect to get a conviction even if there is clear evidence they couldn’t have committed the crime.

    Police misconduct allegations could unravel this case—constitutional rights aren’t optional.
