Reddit tries to suppress all discussions related to Luigi, but remember, we have a dedicated community for him: !luigimangione@lemmy.world
Luigi was a wakeup call as to just how heavily information can be censored when it affects the powers at be. I really don't know what to believe anymore. It feels like there's no objective reality.
Guy is going to jail, the grave, or both. Guilty or not the state is not letting a little thing like police evidence tampering or innocence get in the way of him paying for the consequences being brought home to that CEO. Truth was publicly spoken to power, and someone has to pay for that in the states eyes.
Without the obviously planted evidence, all they have is a video that doesn't show his face. If i was on the jury, that's enough reasonable doubt for me.
And the eyebrows arent even close to similar
If the Brow doesn't fit, we shall acquit.
If the arrest was filthy, he’s not guilty.
Luigi is an innocent patsy. The cops planted the evidence on the first convenient person they found.

Hardly call his arrest a convenience. They had to chase him halfway across Pennsylvania.
I'm open to the possibility he was set up. But only in the Lee Harvey Oswald sense (someone mired in radicalism who was tangentially involved). You're going to have to produce a "second gunman" before I toss the abundance of evidence against him as a fabrication.
remember that TIP, they baited the people to ID him.

You be careful posting that stuff! Reddit will ban you like they did me! Edit: See they removed your post!

America needs more Luigis.
Many, many more.
Definitely more symbols like him. If he's found innocent, then we must ask if Luigi's identity and movement extend to the true killer. If he's found guilty, then we have a more complex conversation.
Either way, we need more.
I’m still convinced this poor kid is a patsy because NYPD was facing down a riot, or worse (for them), for the blatant classism in their investigation efforts.
Unfortunately much of the public has given Luigi credit/deemed him “guilty” out of a need for ideological symbolism and an outlet to express frustration.
I'm also of the opinion that the real killer might have very well gotten away and I seriously would not put it past the dirty cops to have a close lookalike take a fall and plant evidence on him.
Regardless, what the court of public opinion thinks of the guy who got arrested for the crime in question is, thankfully, still irrelevant in court proceedings. The prosecution still has to prove that it was him, and if they improperly collected the evidence they plan to use against him, it's going to be an uphill battle.
And should they be on the chubbier side, they can be Mario.
Someone named Mario has a chance to do something really, really funny
He doesn't have to be called Mario. He just has to be a Mario. Get me?
I just wanted to say Luigi without getting banned
You can post images, too! Ain't that neat?
This is my favorite fact about him. He's been out here trying to make our lives better for YEARS as an unsung hero.*
*If you play Civ.
Please remember the power bestowed upon a juror. Don't take it for granted. https://beyondcourts.org/sites/default/files/2022-07/Jury-Nullification-Toolkit-English_0.pdf

There are exceptions, though. It'll be a question of whether or not the prosecution can make an argument that it falls into one of those.
...well, it'll be a question of who's at the judge's bench. The actual law doesn't mean shit in this country.
The judge on the bench in this case has been insisting on Luigi wearing ankle cuffs, so there's that for context...
Wow, that sketch makes the youthful and confident looking Luigi look more like a mob underling from a GTA game. Yikes
“ _Brazen killing” I sure do love to see mainstream news articles.
It was carried out without shame so brazen is sn appropriate adjective.
The court artist made Luigi look like a grumpy Liberace. Wtf?!
I worked in courts and the sketch artists are something else. One time, one of them sketched me in 5min. I looked so bummed and guilty that I felt like I was staring down a 25 year sentence. To this day I still keep the drawing on my wall ( ˘ ³˘)
