      Nah, if they were running, they wouldn’t be making a violent example out of Saint Luigi. They’re trying to cow the peasants but showing what happens if you try to stand up to them. I hope they fail, and I hope the optics of this completely backfire.

      Well, he entered a guilty plea, so that part is fairly open-and-shut. Of course jury nullification isn’t out of the question, but really this case is most likely to come down to a question of sentencing.

      Edit: He didn’t plead guilty.

    Are they trying to look scared shitless to undermine the whole farce, or do they actively want to create a martyr? Those are the only two options that don’t require a room temperature IQ.
