    I’m sure there was a plea deal. Either that or they found out the prosecution had some really damning evidence.

      Him having a journal, tracking specifically the victim(dbag) and calling the company to get more details pretty much seals the deal.

        It really baffles me sometimes how clever people can make such basic mistakes when doing crimes.

        If you’re planning to do something illegal don’t literally document your crime. Or if you do need to do some written-down planning ahead of time, a major part of that plan should include how to destroy that documentation at the earliest possible moment.

          The overwhelming amount of evidence was actually a large part of why I consistently held that some of it was planted. His bag was initially searched at the scene of the arrest, then it was taken by an officer who wasn’t wearing a body cam. The bag was entirely off camera for around 10 minutes. Then when that officer came back with the bag, they searched it again and “found” the journal, manifesto, ghost gun, etc… None of which was noted during their initial search inside of the restaurant.

          The police were under an extreme amount of pressure to arrest somebody. Anybody. They needed a patsy. And so my bet right from the start had always been that the evidence was planted.

          You’re telling me the dude managed to evade a nationwide manhunt for an entire week, but didn’t think to break up the untraceable ghost gun? It could have been taken apart and scattered into a dozen trash cans, and they never would have found it.

          And when people write manifestos, it’s because they expect to get caught and they want their manifesto to be seen. They want to send a specific message. So why would he hide for an entire week if he wanted the manifesto to be found?

          The eyebrows don’t match either. Luigi’s were much bigger than the security camera footage of the killer. And anyone who has accidentally over-plucked their eyebrows can attest that they don’t just grow back in a week.
