A good legal defense will prevent them from just throwing the book at him for trumped up charges and/or sentencing guidelines. Cops commit more heinous crimes than this and get a slap on the wrist at best, and regular rich white people get cushy, minimal sentences. Without public outcry and legal defense to intervene, they probably would have tried to get him on outright terrorism charges to throw him away for life without parole. (There’s a bunch of white nationalists and Nazis that need to catch that sentence, but I don’t think it’s appropriate for Luigi)

In the US it’s not about being guilty, it’s about having enough money to pay for your innocence.
He already hired an expensive lawyer on his own, and that lawyer hasn’t said anything about using the Mooney from this fund. It’s most likely a scam.
The fundraiser looks super sketchy and we don’t even know who is running it, so a lot of people probably don’t trust it.
