“We’re thrilled that Luigi is accepting these funds so that he can mount the strongest defense possible,” said D4 Legal Committee spokesperson Sam Beard in a statement. “The American private health insurance industry has ruined countless lives by denying people access to basic care and burying families in medical debt. It’s no surprise that Luigi’s alleged actions are understood and supported by tens of millions of hard-working Americans.”
This sounds weirdly phrased. He pleads not guilty because he didn’t shoot the CEO and not because he thinks that shooting the CEO shouldn’t be a crime, right?
You plead not guilty because they have to prove you did it beyond a reasonable doubt. If they messed with the evidence (it looks like they did) then that evidence will be inadmissable. Plus the jury could still find him not guilty.
Everyone is jumping to conclusion like he did it… That’s for the NY state and DoJ to prove…
The fact that government gets two tries is an insult to the American public.
This is one thing I’ve slowly been agreeing with France on: the name of someone accused of a crime is not released publicly unless and until they are convicted. There is a huge propensity for “the court of public opinion” to convict someone just because police arrested them.
