Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I don't doubt they have evidence that irrefutably proves he's the shooter...

The issue has always been legally admissible evidence.

I think they broke a shit ton of laws to find out who did it, then failed to retroactively create a "partel investigation" that would have legally uncovered the evidence so it could be used anyway.

Like, that's pretty normal for cops. They break laws to solve a crime, make up some bullshit about how they'd have found it anyways, then overcharge to get a plea deal and avoid trial.

Luigi ain't taking a plea deal, and while they may very well know it's him, they can't prove it in court

I think the term is "parallel investigation" or parallel construction investigation." I don't doubt that you are correct though.

Yeah, that's just a typo.

The whole thing is bullshit tho. When you already know where you'll find evidence, it's easy to justify after the fact how you could have legally been able to search that one place.

But they can't narrow it down to that spot except by violating civil rights.

I do doubt they have evidence he is the shooter. Just the footage taken at the scene has details that don't match with Luigi at all. He was in the area since the image from the hostel is very likely him, but just being in the general vicinity isn't enough to convict.

Dude...

It's 2025.

If you think the US government can't tell who was on a street at a certain time and then search everyone's cell phones and track where they've been to narrow it down to a very small number of people...

I dunno what to tell you.

The sun also rises each morning and sets at night. And Tuesdays usually follow Mondays.

You are greatly overestimating the diligence of the police. All they care about is finding anyone to pin it on. They're not doing all that work when they can frame a patsy much more easily.

This isn't a random crime they don't care about...

A wealthy CEO was killed.

This honestly isn't that difficult to figure out why it's different. But I feel like you've put zero logical thought into your multitude of strong opinions about this.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

All the more reason to pin the blame on anyone they can as quickly as they can. You don't want the plebeian masses getting the idea that their masters are vulnerable.
