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
Oh I ABSOLUTELY am of the belief that it is him. However, I find it strange that so much proof was supposedly found on him to the point that he might as well have been standing in time's square shouting that he did it. There was no need to backtrace through his history, go through his home, interview friends or family. It was all There.
That is what strikes me as ... too convenient.
They don't want to go to the trouble of having this long drawn out process. They want thier gunman handed on a silver platter both to please the corporate overlords, and to show that they are competent.
...when they are anything but.
Oh for sure they fucked around and made sure to plant as much shit to make sure he doesn’t get away with it, there’s definitely corruption around his case but yeah it’s him
The rich could have already discovered the real culprit and assassinated him quietly, rather than risk technicalities in court.
And if Luigi gets off on a technicality in court, the message isn't sent. Putting up a fall guy while assassinating the "real" culprit quietly is nonsensical, especially because if Luigi is a fall guy (he isn't), that increases the likelihood that he gets off and ruins the whole thing.
oh I ABSOLUTELY believe Luigi did it.
I just find it strange that everything to convict him was conveniently close to hand. The immediacy of it all feels like something out of a police proceedural more so than documented cases where it takes weeks or months even when it is fairly clear who did what so a case can be built.
But that wouldn't send a message to keep the poor in line
That's why the fall guy, let's the cops save face as well
Can you hear yourself?
Not that I buy the fall guy conspiracy, but getting someone, anyone quickly could stop the copycats. They're more worried about him being a trend setter then a repeat offender.
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.
