And that's why we fight back where we can and weaponize what we can; that's why we use jury nullification in cases like these.

It wasn't Luigi.

Can confirm, was playing couch split screen Madden with him all night. We drank a few beers and he crashed in the spare room

..and believe you me your honor, I am a light sleeper and always wake up when the front door opens and closes in this apartment.

Ultimately, there is a better strategy to jury nullification:

TL;DR: It is most effective to plant seeds of doubt when reasonable, and legitimate ones. For this particular case, it would be the fact that the eyebrows don't match between pictures, the police said they had found the backpack in NY only to then say they found him with his backpack at McDonalds, the fact that Luigi claims shit was planted on him and the police have a running history of planting evidence to suit their needs, etc.

You’re absolutely right, I was conflating the manhunt and trial.

The faces don’t match, and keeping the gun would be my reasonable doubt. No reason to keep something you can print again anytime. The police’s history speaks for itself, no verdict

You're right. In fact, it wasn't a human at all! It was St. Michael the Archangel himself, personally coming down from on high to smite the wicked and the greedy! It's not Luigi's fault that he just happens to look a bit like St. Michael!

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' etc.
