    With how often police have been caught planting and otherwise tampering with evidence, and how embarrassing it would be to not catch the suspect, if Luigi said “it wasn’t me”, I might be inclined to believe him despite any amount of evidence suggesting otherwise

      Well yeah, that’s why he’s considered a suspect, and assumed innocent until proven guilty in the court system. (That’s how it’s supposed to work anyway)

        The point I’m trying to make is that, given past police conduct and the current motivation to find the suspect would afford me reasonable doubt. Y’all remember George Floyd’s autopsy or the other million little CYA tricks they pull?

        Not according to that health insurance company. In their statement they said that they hope the family finds relief in the apprehension. Basically calling him guilty.

          The health insurance company has zero more insight into this than we do. Who gives a flying fuck what they say? There trying to shift the narrative back off their own crimes against humanity
