    We don’t know that. What we know is that the police searched him and his bag at the McDonalds, without properly reading him his Miranda rights before questioning him.

    There is no indication that they found the gun or journal at this point in time.

    They then arrested him, packed up his bag and took it to the station, where a subsequent search found the journal and gun.

    Additionally, the Mayor and police chief released discovery evidence to an HBO documentary, but apparently not to Luigi’s defense lawyers… completely tainting the potential jury pool while making it clear that the prosecution is withholding evidence from the defense.

    There’s a whole lot here that doesn’t pass the smell test. If it’s a frame up, why this guy in particular? And if it’s not a frame up, why the obvious attempt to hide what they have from the defense?

    i think that he likely did do it, but the FBI used an illegal surveillance technique to catch him - my guess is facial recognition through hacked security cameras. Exposing this technique would be contrary to the bureau’s interests. I don’t see any reason why Luigi would have the gun on him, or the journal after the shooting, so I’m really questioning the validity of that evidence - I mean it’s murder 101 to get rid of the weapon, and unless you want to be caught, you don’t carry around written evidence on your person saying “Hey, I’m gonna shoot this guy”.

    So yeah, there’s a whole lot here that doesn’t add up.

      People are too willing to accept the narrative.

      Sure narrative is decent but state still has to prove that he actually did so they spent a lot of time litigating this in media which backfired spectacularly.

      I am not sure how this trial can even be fair now between people supporting him while state overplayed its hand.

      Where will they find this mythical impartial jury? Go back in time?
