Forcing that handsome man into a bullet proof vest in an attempt to make him look like a Batman villain should be enough evidence on its own for this to be thrown out.

[–] Garbagio@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh man, the criminal government did criminal shit? Good thing they control the court and the consequences, I guess.

Charges should be dismissed with prejudice.

He'll probably end up "suiciding himself with two gunshots to the back of the head" if he actually somehow gets out of this.

I keep saying it: The one thing that may still save us, is their virtuosic incompetence. All we have to do is give these apes enough rope, and they will eventually hang themselves.

The problem is all the damage they'll do before then.

True americans knew day one that this whole case is botched and ruined since the administration politicized it and the healthcare CEO's made it to be WAY more than it was.

Hopefully he is let go and we can start arresting and charge the criminals running our country right now. It's gonna take years to charge all the people in the white house, so the sooner we start, the better.

Arrest the HC CEOs too. And everyone else complicit in killing people for profit.

Would be funny if they had to let him go because they were so sloppy

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 84 points 4 days ago (1 children)

In the Alec Baldwin case it seems to me the important people at the office took on the case because it was so high profile. They screwed it up because of their inexperience with actually doing any work.

Could be the same thing happening with this case.

And after the DoJ historically having a 99%+ success rate in front of Grand Juries, this administration has had loss after loss, absolutely unprecedented.

They don't even get a chance to learn from their mistakes, because they just blame their losses on liberals, somehow. They are convinced that they are right in their legal strategies, so they keep on the same path, despite going over the same cliff, every time.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

We all know that's because Trump insists on the DOJ following his orders even though he doesn't understand the law, right?

Under qualified Presidents, the DOJ was expected to maintain high standards of ethics and follow the law. That meant bringing indictments with enough evidence to win cases and not prosecuting cases when the evidence didn't support them.

Under the current clown-shoes administration, the DOJ is expected to bring indictments against anyone who hurt Little Donny's feelings, regardless of the evidence. And (at least for now) the rest of the judicial system is still following the law, which means that those cases get no traction.

No one has any rights

[–] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 52 points 4 days ago

Did anyone actually think he's gonna get a fair trial? He's obviously a patsy set up because they couldn't find the real guy anyway. Who actually carries the weapon on the bus with them? The real one is probably at the bottom of the East River.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 116 points 4 days ago (17 children)

Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of replacing competent career government officials with stooges.

Hehehe. It'd be hilarious to see the whole prosecution fail because they were unsustainably aggressive and sloppy.

[–] Pogogunner@sopuli.xyz 119 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It would be amazing if Luigi doesn't even have to go through a trial because Trump cannot keep his mouth shut about anything.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Reporters need to start baiting Trump and DOJ shills. Force them to break and ruin any chance of this going to trial

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.social 109 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hilarious, they were so thirsty to bust someone they fumbled literally everything. Their evidence chain of custody was fucked, no way to prove it's authentic or untampered

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 81 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I knew it was horseshit the moment they just found the three things that were impossible to find "from a good Samaritan" all in one neat place. Look at this man right here, he has suspect, motive, and murder weapon on his person's right now!

This whole case stinks like shit.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The actual killer was good enough to escape and hide for days. He’s long gone and hiding now. Not in a McD’s with all his evidence.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Their facial recognition software gave them some people that vaguely resembled the killer. They dug through their backgrounds and found a queer kid living in a youth hostel, someone estranged from their family. If you were going to pick an innocent person to pin this on, he's the classic type. Cops have been pinning unsolved crimes on drifters and other undesirables for centuries.

Want to know what I want to know? Where is Luigi's workshop? That's my question. How the hell do you print out, machine, refine, prototype, and build a 3D printed gun while living in homeless shelters and youth hostels?

Printing a gun is not like printing a page on a laser printer. It can be done, but it requires a long iterative process and a whole workshop worth of tools. If you want to convince me Luigi made a 3D printed gun, then you damn well better be able to show me his workshop.

So again. Where is Luigi's workshop?

The feds have violated lots of people's right to fair trial over the years but in the past, they weren't so incompetent and didn't do it so blatantly.

[–] CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's funny that of all the alleged murderers that end up in court, The put a ballistic vest on Luigi we certainly ain't gonna shoot him) just to make him look more dangerous.

[–] Ordinary_Person@lemmy.ca 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

"we" aren't. But the Bootlickers might try to. But I agree that it's to make him look more dangerous. Because they certainly wouldn't give a shit if a red hat shot him.

They have done it that way for everyone since coming into power. Even if they know thr proper procedures, they have continually shown no desire to follow them
