oh I absolutely believe the allegation as plausible.

They NEEDED a fall guy for this and they NEEDED it to be so cut and dry that they could quickly make an example of him.

Even if Luigi DID do it? This is railroading for the sake of trying to scare everyone else to stay in place.

How would it benefit the rich to have the real killer running lose while a random guy goes to jail??

This is the weirdest conspiracy so far.

It’s him, he did it, and praise him for doing it, he’s a legend. Neither he or his lawyers are denying it.

It’s super weird that people on the Internet are insisting it isn’t him

Not the rich, but politicians, police leadership, and DAs.

They don't want to talk about how murders can go unsolved and crime unpunished in the cities they manage and protect.

They want to demonstrate that when they show up in force they are able to quickly solve a crime and bring a criminal to justice. One, so they can keep getting elected and two so that others don't think they can get away with committing crimes.

The DA will want to push a conviction so that they look tough on crime for their political campaigns. Often times withholding evidence that might harm their case.

I don't know if it happened in this case, but it has happened before where police will railroad a suspect to get a conviction even if there is clear evidence they couldn't have committed the crime.
