This story seems to have faded in the wake of events ad nauseam. We are all aware of Senor Luigi. However, most folks can’t recall the full name of the guy that allegedly Luigi gunned down. Mission accomplished.

    I don’t watch mainstream media, but Status Coup News does follow his case and updates when something happens.

    From what I understand, lawyers found a major issue with how he was apprehended. Apparently he wasn’t read his rights before they started taking action, so a fair bit of evidence they have against him may need to be thrown out.

    Also they decided to pursue the death penalty way too fast, among other injustices.

        There is a general lack of body-cam footage to back up the cops follwing procedures and the timing of evidence being collected is suspect at best.

        Overall, there are enough holes in the narrative that was reported to the media that luigi being a scapegoat is not an unreasonable stance.
