Well, by law he is innocent until proven guilty in the USA, so if mods are removing comments like that they should be removed as mods.
It's one thing to say he's innocent because you believe he didn't murder the guy. It's an entirely different thing to say he was justified in murdering someone, or to encourage others to commit a murder. The latter is not legally defensible.
It sounds like you are describing jury nullification.
Sure, that's one option. Juries have the authority to apply a moral standard rather than a legal standard. Another apparently viable option is to request a presidential pardon. Or better yet, run for office and win.
Personally, I doubt the evidence against Luigi is conclusive, so I'd argue that he's simply innocent. But I would certainly not encourage anyone else to start murdering executives, because that would be legally indefensible.
