So, just speculation? I mean, the way the media is reporting on Luigi isn't really surprising or different than the way they report on everything.
Is there anything beyond just speculation? Any statements from friends or family? Any attempt to present an alibi where he was at the time of the killing? Any statement from his lawyers denying he did it?
Did you miss the innocent until proven guilty and the statement that there is little to no evidence he did it. The onus is on the state to prove guilt. Not on Luigi to prove innocence. So, if you think he did it, where is the proof? Like the state isn’t coming forward with much untainted evidence and like…they really aren’t like…refuting like…the broken evidence chain and you know…they’re leaning really heavy on the media to swing popular opinion and stuff…
I'm not a judge and this isn't a court of law. People assume guilt or innocence for themselves all the time. Obviously if I were a judge or on a jury I'd want a lot more evidence. Hell, if I were on a jury, I'd be pushing for jury nullification. I don't see anything wrong with that CEO getting got.
Tainted evidence, media portrayal, dirty cops, this is all standard for the criminal justice system. That's how loads of cases work, and we don't all jump to immediately assume the state is framing every single person they accuse of anything.
My question is, if Luigi really is just some person completely unrelated to the crime who is being framed for it, why is there no pushback from him, his lawyers, or people who know him? If there were reason to believe he was being framed, with as much public support as he has, I'd assume we'd have an alibi showing where he was at the time of the shooting, or people talking about how they don't believe he could have done it.
Everyone personally or directly connected to Luigi himself are acting exactly as I would expect them to act if he had actually done it.
I ultimately don't really care whether or not Luigi personally was the guy who did it or not. Regardless, it wouldn't change my opinion of Luigi or the murder. I'm just trying to find out if there's something I haven't heard about. Some reason or alibi or explanation to believe he's being framed beyond "we like what he is accused of doing and he seems like a pretty good guy."
His lawyers are being sensible and saving it for the trial.
He was probably told by his lawyers to do the same.
He lived alone IIRC, so he might not have an alibi. However, he was wearing clothes that were similar - but not identical - to the Adjuster, which.. if he was changing clothes to shake off pursuit, you think he'd wear something very different instead.
The NYPD was probably under immense pressure from rich people to find the culprit - so they found a patsy. Wouldn't be the first time. The ridiculous thing is all the news outlets loudly talking about how Luigi committed the murder as if it's a foregone conclusion. Also probably from immense pressure from rich people. Someone needs to be punished, in a very public way, to keep the plebians in line.
