I think his only way to not being found guilty is for the real killer to strike again with the same gun. And even then they might say the "second one" is just a copycat.

Yeah... They'll convict him.
Spoiled Evidence....
This. The chain of evidence is tainted and cannot be accounted for. Anything in the backpack could have been placed there by anyone, at any time, before, during, or after his arrest.
My feelings on this: good. One less thing that they can use against him. If his defense doesn't get any evidence from the backpack thrown out, then idk what they're even doing.
You don't need a warrant to search the belonging directly on the person of someone arrested.
You do have to marandize the suspect though, otherwise they were in custody illegally. And this everything found in his possession was found without probable cause. Luigi was not ready his rights and was placed under police custody illegally.

There is probably a chain of custody question involved here.
Something that needs to be considered is the possibility of parallel construction in the arrest and alleged evidence

It doesn't matter whether he did or did not do it just like it won't matter what evidence does or does not exist.
An example to be made was chosen, and it will be made.
The only question at this point is how will we react to that example.
If they are worried about conviction, I expect he will be suicided.
This is the harsh truth. Right now, legally, their case is falling apart. A nontrivial amount of hard evidence was in that bag and this action should get everything tossed because the chain of evidence is non-existent.
The other poster is also correct, they've decided he should be punished for this, whether he did or not is irrelevant. They're going to twist every ounce of evidence they can to say he did it. If that doesn't work, he'll be found hanging from his shoelaces...
free luigi!
