The Luigi Paradox: He's not Guilty, but still a Folk Hero.
Not a paradox. He is doing two things that are absolutely worthy of respect.
Firstly he is an innocent young man who is being dragged through hell for a crime he did not commit. He is suffering unjustly for a crime he did not commit. Many people have gone through that and he deserves to be not only acquitted but so fully exonerated that the system is forced to compensate him for his unjust treatment.
Secondly, the cover provided by this case allows the real killer to remain hidden. I seriously doubt they would ever find the guy and the credibility of the prosecution would be so utterly smashed that even if they actually found the guy they might not make a move for fear of a public backlash. They might murder the guy, but that only proves they are far worse than any murderer.
So not only is Luigi innocent he is a hero, and I hope the real killer lives a long and quiet life.
But they'd get away with it, as they always do.
George Carlin on Assassination
Man that list would look very differently if all those assassinations of Hitler and Stalin hadn't failed.
