"The concern you have as a prosecutor is that public support is going to make it into the jury room," said Richard Schoenstein, a legal analyst and defense attorney.

"There definitely are people out there who assume this defendant committed the crime, but support him in doing so," he said.

"There are some students who believe he is absolutely a justified vigilante ... against this system, the American healthcare system, that they think is unjust."

He is the most obvious patsy of all time. Blows my mind how many people instantly assume he was the actual killer. There was a literal scandal in the Altoona police department a few months after Luigi got arrested because they were caught abusing a suspect.

He is the most obvious patsy of all time.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a Former marine that worked on the U2 spy program with the CIA. He tried to renounce his citizenship in the USSR. Got back into the states no problem. He seemed to have no idea what he was being charged with the first time he saw the press. He later called himself a patsy, and was murdered on live TV by mobster.

Yeah, I'm giving this one to Oswald. (No disrespect to Luigi and his innocence)
