Just reminded me of something I heard on an Ask a Lawyer video recently:
"Some people who aren't insane plead insanity, and some people who are very insane don't."
This is a case where I believe he was driven insane by the bullshit surrounding healthcare.
For how many people does free food and board for 25 years look like a viable way to retire?
...have they even proven that Luigi did it?
Unless they have, effectively admitting to it seems like a fucking stupid idea to me.
Obviously I am just an observer with only the media to get case information from but it's always seemed pretty fishy to me
There's no way it was him, he was hanging out with me at the time.
Me too. I don't think he looks enough like the guy at the bank counter(iirc) to be sure they're the same person, and the fact that they only found the gun after taking the backpack back to the station is extremely suspicious.
My conspiracy theory is that, after the near-universal adulation of the killer, they've made Luigi a scapegoat in order to prevent any more killing of wealthy ghouls.
Exactly, I’m incredibly disappointed by this news considering how horribly botched the investigation was
Ima trust the million dollar legal team over what'd make a good movie.
Dude what good is a million dollar legal teams opinion when you have random half assed comments?! I mean, their personal opinion is something about photos being shady. So there! Checkmate.
You know, in either direction Luigi takes, he's going to be in prison for a long time as evidenced in the text here. Manslaughter? 25 years. Murder? Life. He's fucked either way.
Mind as well go gung-ho and try hard for the 'I didn't do it' defense.
Irresistible impulse. This may be a poor choice by the defense. If I'm on the jury all I can see is reasonable doubt.
Luigi did nothing wrong. He saved lives.
claiming he was suffering from extreme emotional disturbance when he gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a judge said Wednesday.
I'd rather see the argument that it was the only logical response to an illogical environment.
It's not that "everyone's going crazy" these days, it's that corporations and oligarchs aren't withholding their end of the social contract, and forcing the cognitive dissonance on everyone that we still need to follow it will continue to lead to events like this.
It's bigger than Luigi and whatever that CEOs name was.
This is just how people will react when they no longer believe society has their backs. And modern American society 100% does not have anyone's back except oligarchs and corporations.
But the effect of the shooter's actions is quantifiable and resulted in claims getting approved and a shit ton of lives saved.
Like, that's going to be the big sticking point of this trial, it's a trolley problem jury trial. I still think he's getting off, even if they can prove it was him.
Tl;dr - Luigi’s not crazy, it’s the rest of the world that’s gone mad.
(Shout out to Wonko the Sane)
We need to guillotine the sociopath class.
Luigi already did one, so what are you waiting for?
Talking big about revolutions and beheading people when you clearly have no intention of actually doing either, is honestly kinda pathetic.
How do you know I am not working on a revolution?
I don't think that's gonna hold up in court.
the only sane response to an insane world is to reject it wholeheartedly, possibly by lashing out; it is the most damaged among us who embrace it unreservedly.
This is a bad defence. I saw Luigi minutes before the incident in a far away location. He's innocent.
Given the vast number of people who are currently also suffering from CEO-induced extreme emotional disturbance, the bastards should be shitting their pants in abject terror right now...
Therefore, he is admitting that he was the shooter?
Wow, very disappointing. wtf is the point of his high profile high cost lawyer is she’s going this route?

Just like the PDFILE island... no justice will be served... They will drag lugi through the mud only to nail him to the cross just like your christ. The yankkkee doodle dandy giving strangers candy prides itself as it tries to emulate the holy roman empire. They will put your christ to death to kill your moral. There is no justice in the imperial core unless it serves a purpose to send a measage to the plebs. Come on kiddos time to grow up and let go of childish things.

You're not going to get demonetized on lemmy, dipshit
