    The People know a bad faith prosecution when they see it and are willing to pay what they can to help.

      TBH I’d rather donate to the prosecution at this point. Leaves a bad feeling in the mouth when some rich boy murderer gets better chances just because he’s got an online following, I assume this is how people felt about OJ Simpson.

        the fact that he has money is irrelevant to people’s feelings about him

        and… better chances? are you fucking joking? the prosecution is asking for the death penalty for (allegedly) killing 1 dude

        even if he did it, that’s not justice - that’s making an example out of him… that’s retribution that far outweighs the crime

          It would be rare for a first degree murder, categorized by premeditation, planning, and afterthought, to not pursue the death penalty. Luigi is pleading innocent despite being caught fleeing with a gun and $20,000 cash to live off of while on the run.

          The people making examples of him are the ones pushing him as some sort of saint and martyr to stoke violence and lawlessness specifically in the west.

          No point in arguing with someone who comes to Lemmy to support the establishment. Downvote and move on

              Homie’s comment was 100% pro establishment authoritarian baloney

                If Luigi wanted to oppose the establishment he would have shot one of the lawmakers who create and protect the broken healthcare system instead of some random goon operating in it.
