Cmon Luigi, you can beat these charges like you beat King Boo.
Ah! Sukah sukah!
Thinking of running for high office? Looking for a hook for your campaign? Run for governor of NY on a campaign pledge to give Luigi a full pardon. You would win in a landslide.
It worked for Trump. One of his pledges was to pardon Ross Ulbricht.
All I know is if that rat fucking "kids for cash" judge deserves a pardon, Luigi sure as hell does.
On an unrelated note, I wonder if Snowden would come back after a pardon now that he's a Russian citizen.
Karen Friedman Agnifilo will represent him in New York. Friedman Agnifilo previously worked as the chief assistant district attorney in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office under Cyrus Vance Jr. for seven years and is a veteran with deep experience in New York City’s criminal justice system. She has worked in private practice since 2021.
“She’s got as much experience as any human being, especially in the state court,” one longtime New York prosecutor told CNN. “She knows every corridor, every judge, every clerk in the courthouse.”
Honestly, if I were picked for jury duty…. I would be way compromised for this case. Innocent! 💯
Well don't say that out loud.
To get a conviction they’re gonna have to get 13 billionaires to serve jury duty.

Jury nullification. Guilty but no punishment.
But also you've never heard of jury nullification.
If you say it, you'll likely be removed from the jury.
If you know about it, you don't say you know about it at jury selection.
Screw jury nullification. I want the governor to give him a full pardon.
She knows every corridor, every judge, every clerk in the courthouse.
The implication that knowing the people is more important than knowing the law is actually kinda worrying.
Insert always has been meme
I think it's interesting that they're only trying for second degree.
New York was one of the first states to bring back the death penalty so alongside it they made the definition of first degree murder very narrow. it includes killing a cop, murder for hire, and murder as an act of terrorism (they could probably technically argue for that one but I'd imagine theres clear precedent against it).
death penalty was abolished again in 2004
killing a cop
Weird how one civilian killing another somehow has a different meaning just because of the jobs they work. Seems pretty fucking stupid if you ask me. If it was going to be a harsher penalty(,) then I'd expect it to be a(n) actually beneficial job that people should respect like a pediatrician or janitor.
(edited for grammar)
I've always found that so stupid yeah. "Cop killing" is always painted as this ultimate evil and so much worse than killing a regular person, especially in all the copaganda shows. But theoretically the whole reason cops have so much legal leeway and can use so much force and whatnot is because they're taking on a risk by putting themselves in the line of duty (even though you're actually more likely to die as a pizza delivery driver).
I need that bumper sticker
If you view cops as mostly there to protect the interests of the rich, it makes a lot more sense. Being a cop gets special privileges because it's the singular most important job to keep poor people from taking from the rich.
The system will always protect itself.
Legal Eagle had a video about the indictment, first degree in NY requires an intensifying factor, standard murder is only 2nd degree.
I hadn’t realised they came in different power levels. Or do they all come with the same power, but only unleash what you pay for?
They choose which super-saiyan level to activate based on your annual income
The high powered ones are tethered right into the high voltage lines. Normal ones use standard 120V outlets. The rejects use AAA batteries.
Damn imagine what standard lawyers could do in Europe with 230v
Have some vague semblance of a working justice system? A very vague one, but at least I’d a decent impersonation
Has she reached her final form?
I always thought it was more of a Goku vs. Krillin kinda thing.
wait, second degree?
If the coverage don't pay, you have to say nay?
If the the premium don't fit, you have to acquit?
If the insurance lie, you have to get by?
What is the catchy phrase to use here?
His claim got denied,
So his actions are benign.
Delay deny depose has a nice ring.
If the healthcare is shit?
Nobody can confirm this is an actual legal fund for him. Who is the December 4th committee? Are they non profit? Are they obligated to give him the money? There's a lot of scams popping up.
Until it's confirmed by a reliable source, I would encourage everyone to hold off on donating.
NBC news just did an article on this.
I see these donations as a media-buy by the people. I frankly don’t care if a dollar of this actually goes to his defense fund. I want this fundraising to be the story. As the number goes up the media outlets will cover it and keep this story going. That alone is worth the donation.
