    Police found so much evidence that he’d have to be idiotic to still have on him. Gun, suppressor, and the fake ID he used to check into the hotel.

        I’m skeptical, too. I could imagine the cops bribed the guy to go to court and put on a show because they didn’t want to set the precedent that people could murder CEOs and get away with it due to the cops’ incompetence with their massively funded surveillance system.

        Like I said, I’m believe it’s kinda sus, multiple reasons are plausible. We’ll have to wait and see.

      on average, people who do murders don’t tend to be geniuses

      Edit: to be clear, most moral acts don’t require great genius. sacrificing yourself to undermine a system that murders countless innocent people is a heroic act independent of how skilled you are at serial homicide. a person who is exceptionally skilled at killing people and getting away with it is much more likely to be a bad person, since the roles that enable you to get the most practice at it are things like imperial cop, imperial soldier, or CEO of a private health insurance company

        On average, murderers don’t go to Ivy League schools either. But this guy Luigi did. Why would he be so careless?

        Edit: also graduated from an engineering program. Not exactly the easy route through most schools. Engineers are famously lacking in common sense and real-world experience, though.

          Ivy League means nothing about intelligence - or rather it just means he met the bar to attend post-secondary. Ivy League speaks more to one’s socio-economic position.

            Agree. But I say that’s a much better argument against this guy’s motive (and likelyhood of guilt) than making any kind intelligence argument.

          an Ivy is a measure of family wealth, not individual intelligence. I know US TV has conditioned everyone to believe that they could totally get away with murder if they wanted to, but there’s a reason most people don’t test that belief. even the smartest person isn’t at their best when acting on impulsive decisions under pressure

      The pigs also claim he had $8000USD in cash on him and $2000 in an unnamed “foreign currency”. Luigi said himself in his bail hearing that he did not have that much money with him, and suggested the additional amount was planted. How very convenient for the police and the prosecuting attorney, because they used that money they “found” to successfully convince the judge that Luigi shouldn’t be granted bail.
