Broken image?
I can see it
I can now as well. My connection's been wonky all morning.
Yeah, I was getting jerked around about precisely how the prescriptions got filled around the time that it happened, and there was going to be some bullshit about Blue Cross not covering the medication because it wasn't bottled while Venus was in retrograde or what the fuck ever, and then it was magically covered. The coincidence wasn't lost on me.
except that luigi didnt kill anyone and he's very obviously being framed
I see this sentiment expressed, but is there any evidence to support it? If he were really being framed, I'd expect his family, friends, lawyers, etc to be trying to spread that message as much as possible and publicly show that he couldn't have done it. Like publicly present his alibi or something?
I have no problem with killing the CEO. Even if there were 100% irrefutable evidence Luigi did it, I'd still think Luigi was a good guy.
Why do people think he's being framed?
You actually have it backwards, it's innocent until proven guilty and so far the prosecutors weren't able to produce any usable evidence. So no one has to prove that Luigi didn't do it just like no one has to prove you or I didn't do it
And if I were a judge or on the jury, I'd be looking for definitive evidence. But that doesn't really matter for the question I'm asking. Regardless whether Luigi did it or someone else did, it wouldn't change my opinion of Luigi or the crime.
I'm not trying to adjudicate guilt or innocence here. I'm trying to find out if there's something I'm not aware of. Has Luigi or his lawyer actually denied that Luigi did it? I know they've pushed back against the evidence, but have they come out and said "Luigi didn't do it, this is where he was when it happened, this is why we know it wasn't him?"
Fighting the evidence on procedural grounds and trying to discredit the prosecution is what a good lawyer does when they know they can't prove their client's innocence. They try to introduce doubt for the prosecution's case. But if they could prove he didn't do it, they'd just do that.
Again, I'm not trying to decide whether Luigi is a good guy or whether I should support him. If I were on the jury and Luigi got up there and swore up and down he did it and produced documentary footage of him doing it, I'd still be pushing for jury nullification. That's not my point here. I'm trying to understand why so many people online seem so absolutely certain that this is a frameup when, as far as I can see, nobody connected to the case on the defense side is acting like it is..

There's been a blatant push by media to forward the idea that Luigi did it. All they have to do is ... not report evidence to the contrary. What there IS, however, is a lack of evidence that he did it, if you take into consideration the fact that NYPD - who have a history of faking evidence - probably used a gun and fake manifesto to pin the crime on him. Innocent until proven guilty has gone out the window; even news outlets aren't bothering to hedge their language with 'alleged' any more.
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."
He plead not guilty. So until the government proves otherwise we must assume that some other really cool person killed that guy.

Guilty by vibe. Got it.
So you didn't read what I wrote at all, did you?
I'm not trying to determine guilt. I'm trying to find out why so many people seem absolutely certain he was framed when nobody connected to the case on the defense side are acting like it is.

He didn't do it, but if he'd done it: how could you tell him that he was wrong?
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.

murdering CEO's is self defense
More accurately, Defense of Others, which is as valid as Self-Defense.
Free Luigi.
WE are Luigi. We are one.
