He plead not guilty. So until the government proves otherwise we must assume that some other really cool person killed that guy.

I mean, we (the public, not the justice system) treat people who plead not guilty as if they did it all the time. How many times have we seen videos of police violence, for example, and known the guy did it regardless of what the court says?

I'm not talking about whether he should be criminally convicted. Even if he had filmed the entire thing and that was in the public, I'd still be pushing for jury nullification. That's not my purpose here.

I'm solely trying to answer this one question:

Why do so many people seem so certain Luigi is being framed by the state when nobody connected to the defense in the case is acting like it is or have said that it is?

Because the alternative is to assume he's guilty despite no evidence being provided?

So instead we assume he's being framed despite no evidence being provided?

And, to be clear, there has been evidence provided that he did it. It's very questionable evidence from an even more questionable source, but it's not no evidence.

Compared to no evidence or even a claim from Luigi or his lawyers that he's being framed.
