Need to get him out of there ASAP. Hopefully the inmates got his back so the guards don't get him 1 on 1

I know it’s exited the news cycle, but I still remember this was a big thing for the left and right to both agree on supporting. I’d very much like to prompt Trump for his opinion on the man to force him to take a side.

prompt Trump for his opinion on ~~the man~~ anything to force him to take a side.

That's how you get banned from the press pool.

Best to not remind Trump that Luigi exsist. Don't need him falling out a window with the cameras off and the guards napping.

Mushroom kingdom banks are a bit slow.

I mean nobody can carry 100 coins at the same time there because they turn into an extra life, so large transactions are labor intensive.

If he doesn't walk, bust him out by force.

The court should examine how many people were murdered by UHC.

Anyone smarter than me in law know if there is even a remote chance he walks?

[–] [email protected] 52 points 5 days ago (52 children)

I'm not good at law but I have heard from people smarter than me that there are chances for at least a hung jury (I think could be retried) and there's also another option called jury nullification, where the jury essentially says, "yeah we know he is guilty but we don't agree with the law in this case" and acquits.

Aside from the nullification and hung jurys, there's a good chance for a mistrial from them parading him around and letting everyone in the US know he fought for them.

No. He's going to die in prison. I'm not happy about that fact. I'm just telling the truth. Just like there's zero chance Charles Manson ever gets out. There's zero chance Luigi gets out.

How is he going to defend against suicide with a bullet to the back of his head?
