    50/50 in my mind.

    Like yes police incompetence should be expected, but they broke every rule arresting him, searching his bag, etc etc. Evidence being inadmissible aside, the police did a great job of substantiating our suspicions that Luigi was framed.

    On the other hand, this doesn’t sound like someone who didn’t do it. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R7R6dmYOVfc

    Like maybe he’s alluding to the framing being an insult to the american people. But me personally if I was being framed by the government and desperately trying to get help, I would say it more plainly.

      Doesn’t take too much incorrect procedure for a case like this to fall apart

      Regardless of guilt

        As it should.

        The police cornering someone in a McDonalds and “finding” evidence behind a wall of officers with zero transparency is exactly why courts shouldn’t admit such evidence.

        Maybe if police didn’t have a documented history and widely known legacy of false imprisonment, planting evidence, and down right corruption…

        Depends how corrupt the system has become. That’s why the defense wants as much broadcasting as possible; Sunlight is one hell of a disinfectant.
