    He’ll be released and probably be offered all sorts of book, talk show, movie deals. He certainly won’t do anything criminal. That would would be cuckoo bonkers. CEO’s of unpopular companies will increase their security and certainly not ever just wander around on their own outside in the street. He will be the subject of all sorts of controversial arguments which will be used to market him. Or… he’ll go into some kind of anonymous relocation program and live a quiet life out of the public eye. Either way it’s going to be one of the most interesting moments to watch in recent history.

    he’ll be swept up by ice for existing, spend 3 weeks in a Totally-Not-Concentration-Camp™ before being deported via airdrop to somewhere in the middle of the Sahara, to far from towns and travel routes to get help before dying of exposure.

    While the Bought-And-Paid-For media spin it as a win for americans by dealing with a “Terrorist” that the “Woke Justice System” let go for woke wokeness reasons.

    They’ll arrest the jury.

    I mean, yeah, they’re not allowed to do that, but since when has that stopped this regime?

    The American government is doing their best to make him and his story disappear from the media. The same tactic will simply intensify. Killing him with the classic ‘prison suicide’ will only make him a martyr, so they will silence him and make him as invisible as possible.

    He’ll be found guilty in a civil lawsuit and then much later gets attested in Vegas while trying to get back some of his memorabilia at gunpoint. For which he will be getting an unusually high sentence. All the while he will write books claiming he will find the guy who really did it.

        Before he’s set for release, they’ll put him in a cell with someone already serving a life sentence. Another jailhouse killing.

          I would watch a sitcom about Luigi, and the series starts off with him being found not guilty. So they lock him in with a guy doing life. Their idea is to release him in 40 days. They think the life sentence guy will kill him. They assumed thats what would happen.

          Instead he and his cell mate become lifelong friends, and the style of the show changes from gritty and dramatic, to being shot like an 80s NBC sitcom, with a studio audience.

          Except it takes place in a comedy version of a jail. And it starts and ends every episode the same way. They wake up in their cell, and they go to sleep in their cell.

          Cue the freezeframe, roll credits, as a studio audience gives forced applause that kind of drags, and you can tell some guy is waving his arms like “CLAP LOUDER!!!” and they’re all just thinking “how long do we have to clap???”

    I don’t see any avenue where he is found not guilty to be honest, but in that theoretical case, I think that there’s going to be a lot of older folk that absolutely lose their mind about the principle of the matter.

      It’s straight Jury Nullification within an hour of deliberation unless there are people on the jury who have been bought, by monetary means or otherwise.

        All I have is the publicly available evidence, but that pretty strongly indicates guilt.

        he was found a state over, at a mcdonalds. With a fake ID that was the same name that was used to check into manhatten, and for transport. with a bag containing a loaded unmarked 3d printed handgun that matched the footage.

        He also had writings which are not public but have been stated to indicate his mindset prior to the murder, and a notebook that contained detailed travel plans and how to avoid capture.

        Like pacifist said though, the police are tripping this case up, the biggest defense for Luigi at the moment is the ineptitude of the police during the arrest sequence and investigation. They have already succeeded in throwing out medical records due to improper acquisition, have been found wiretapping attorney lines (which IMO should be an immediate opposing party wins regardless), and are in the process of trying to throw the bag out that was found at mcdonalds due to improper search and seizure claims (although I don’t personally think this will happen, it’s pretty clear the search and seizure laws in that state clarify that a search will happen on any arrest regardless of case)

        the only way I can see him getting a “innocent” verdict is Jury nullification, so I am not leaning on that, because even if found innocent on the second degree murder charges, based off publicly available evidence the prosecution still has a fairly strong case of stalking charges. Plus he still is facing the same charges at the state level as well, as the judges ruled it isn’t considered double jeopardy for someone to be trialed both federally and state side (which IMO is wrong but I digress)

          I wont break down all the evidence since I dont want to get in an extended argument but looking at what you posted, given what we know publicly there is room for reasonable doubt.

          Here would be my counter arguments without going into detail.

          The descripencies in photos released by police during the manhunt.

          The bag that was ditch with suspicious reports of its contents.

          The improper handling of the weapon.

          Not saying these for sure indicate innocence just there is still room for reasonable doubt in the court of public opinion.

            I agree, there is room for reasonable doubt, I do believe if they manage to throw the bag out of the evidence he will get his doubt. I just don’t see them throwing the bag out.

            I don’t think there is room for a non-guilty verdict though. At minimum he will have stalking conviction, at maximum he will get murder conviction. Outside of the jury nullification I don’t see a full innocent being done, but that will have to be done on both the state and federal cases.

            To go back to your actual question though: Due to the publicly available evidence, I believe the older folk will have issue with if he goes free. I don’t believe any fights will happen in regards to it, but it would be a clear abuse of process (in the eyes of the public). It would be like OJ Simpsons “If I did it” all over again.

            It’s a big reason why im firmly against the public getting involved with cases like this. It doesn’t matter what the jury says, the general public thinks he did it, due to the amount of news given on the case. His battle won’t end at the courts, he will have to fight that claim for the rest of his life and thats not fair to him if he is actually innocent.

            The only way I can see the general public being ok with an innocent verdict, is if they make it absolutely clear that the evidence given to the public was embellished and not actually correct. That would be an insane turn of events though. If it ends up being a case of the evidence was thrown out/not being able to be used, or a jury nullification did somehow happen, people are going to complain and call it a systematic failure, regardless of cause or reasoning. Innocent until proven guilty is only correct in the court process. With current day media coverage you are guilty until proven innocent.

    I think the billionaire class will have an assassin ready to go. We’re not supposed to fight back. If he can be an example of punishment via the legal system, great. If not, well, they’ll pay to make that example of punishment so.

    I mean he literally murdered someone in the middle of midtown Manhattan (I know Lemmy is really into the “Luigi is Innocent” conspiracy theories but I legit think he did it). Even if you think what he did was justified, that doesn’t mean it’s legal. We can’t have a functioning society where you can just extra-judiciously kill people and get away with it even if they’re doing something bad. He knew what he was getting into when he did this, and knew that he’d probably get arrested and convicted. If he gets convicted it will be justified, even though I completely understand why he did it and don’t feel bad for the victim. If he is found not guilty, then the prosecution really fucked up and that’s good for him.

      Ok he might have allegedly committed those crimes and killed a man. But doesn’t the actions taken by CEO affect and kill thousands of people.

      People have been complaining about health care costs and insurance companies tactics of delay, deny and defend but noone does anything. The insurance companies and their shareholders never did anything. The government which was supposed to handle this didn’t do anything. At what point is the use of guillotines become justifiable
