Didn't Luigi get caught with the weapon in his backpack? The title picture on this article is literally him. If it's untraceable by printing, it seems you'd want to not have it on you if apprehended.
Common plan for professional hitman is to drop the gun at or near the scene. With a ghost gun what could tgey trace back
Yeah but they have video of him too. Idk the case well enough but I assume the gun itself wasn’t enough to prove he did it.
Factually, they illegally searched his bag without a warrant at the mcdonald's, repacked the bag, put the bag in a police vehicle and drove to the police station without bodycam, and then turned bodycam back on to search the bag again and instantly "find" the ghost gun in his bag, which, without a serial number, is conveniently impossible to prove it was not planted.

Funny that they never deny the gun was his, just that the search was unconstitutional.
Almost like the lawyer thinks "they didn't follow procedure" is an easier legal argument than "the police dept is trying to frame my client".
The gun isn’t the only evidence. All they’re doing is drawing attention to the fact that it was his gun by not denying it was his and trying to get it excluded from evidence. Even if they win this argument and get the gun excluded, they’ve basically confirmed that the gun was his in doing so.
There's no reason to deny invalid evidence
It does if you want people to believe the gun wasn’t yours. The gun isn’t the only evidence, and not denying it’s yours but trying to get it excluded from evidence confirms that it was yours and you’re trying to hide it. It screams guilty.
Good thing that's not how evidence or the justice system works 😝
Your username is ironic lol
That’s how peoples opinions work, and no matter what any judge says, people can’t just forget and disregard that they know the gun was his just because a judge tells them that they are not supposed to know it was his.
My username is randomly generated, but also not ironic in this situation. Freedom has nothing to do with this.
Good try lol
