I think Luigi needs to do more speaking out. He needs to run for office once he's acquitted.
If there's any sign of that happening, they'll definitely kill him
He has already shown he would die for our rights. If he would be good with it i would still vote for him.
He should run for president then immediately claim immunity based on the courts trump rulings.
Is there a law against running for office while imprisoned?
Nope
Eugene Debs ran for president while in prison for sedition for speaking out about the draft during WWI
Ferb, I know what we're going to do today
Why would he be acquited?
Edit: when a question gets downvoted you just might be too emotionally fragile to be online
I downvoted you just for your petulant little edit.
Same
Well I upvoted them just to balance the score out and give paying spectators value for money
He's innocent
This is always a wild one to me, he did it and hes a hero for it, stop erasing his badass act. It’s such a fringe conspiracy that not even Luigi has endorsed it
Allegedly..he hasn't admitted to anything afaik.. and as far as I've seen the evidence is flimsy ..why would he escape and then hang out in a fast food restaurant with the disposable murder weapon?
This community is super fascist about dissent
Yes sir I will toe the line sir
If a jury of his peers do not choose to convict.
I up voted because who the fuck would assume any practical result where USA is concerned.
It's naive to think that Luigi has any future in a fascist country.
Only downvoted for your edit.
Projection, my friend.
To answer your question in a non facetious way, there's a phenomenon called the csi effect. Essentially, juries expect csi levels of ironclad proof that tends to make it much harder than expected to convict.
Combined with the high profile and over politicisation and publication of the case, i see it damn near impossible fornthem to find 12 jurists who will unanimously find not only enough evidence, but not have a refuser based on sociopolitical contexts- much like how OJ walked on the LAPD's corruption.
