    Is there any chance that the terrorism charge is so ridiculous that it actually strengthens Luigi’s case and makes his defense better?

      Man, if the fact that Luigi, the smiling man, and the actual shooter are visibly three different people isn’t enough of a defense, nothing is. The ruling class wants to see someone punished for this crime, and rule of law bends to their will. He will be sentenced to life in prison or death by the end of this month, mark my words.

      Yes because it specifically allows examining his motive from a political angle which allows the defense to question the character of the guy he shot, which increases the chance of nullification.

      who knows at this point. you should ask all the other Americans who were charged with terrorism when they get out of jail.
