    I 100% assume that the McDonald’s employee who called on him is fake in some way, and they tracked him down through some kind of spy apparatus shit and just don’t want to give away their methods.

    I have no evidence and I don’t really know how these things work, it just seems way way more plausible to me.

      It’s like the police always saying that they find a “passport” in the truck after some terrorist attack. They have inside informers and they don’t want to disclose them.

        Oh come on. You really think rich people and the police protecting them would let a millionnaire killer run free?

        They need a scapegoat, but what they need more is the certainty that the shooter won’t do more damage.

      That could be. I’m still vouching for the “conspiracy” that Luigi actually didn’t do anything but was selected as a lookalike scapegoat. The similar looks is what prompted the McDonald employee to call, and they incompetently called the police instead of the tip line.

        I haven’t heard that his defense team is trying to claim that… I feel like if that was reality they would have. Maybe not, but I feel it.

          What would the defense say? “That wasn’t him, just someone who looks similar.”
          They already claim that by pleading innocent at the start.

            Well thats the thing. Nobody in the history of court has plead innocent. Thats not a thing. You can plead guilty, no contest, or not guilty.

            And “not guilty” isn’t the same as “innocent”
