And my theory that he's a fall-guy reaches new conspiratorial levels.

Strange and silly seeming things happen every day but something about "found with the murder weapon and a hand written manifesto admitting guilt on him while eating fast food" has been stuck in my craw this entire time.

Let me just commit one of the most publicized crimes in decades, and I’ll just keep the evidence here on my person. That’s a normal thing to do. lmfao

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's not like he was found on his way to turn himself in, which would be a plausible explanation for the items on him. Wracked with guilt he decided to come clean. But no, really far from the scene of the crime eating some fried potatoes with a murder weapon on him.

Somehow also went from genius planning and execution of the crime to dumbass who holds onto murder weapon for almost a week and carries around bag of thousands in cash but still eats at McDonald's.

Doesn't make any sense.

The bus he was on stopped there to let its passengers eat, wasn't it? It was one of two options. Not ruling out the evidence being planted, though.

Ah, okay, I didn't know that part. Thanks!

McDonald's food is chemically programmed to make my brain release the good chemical I can't fault him tooooooo much on that one.

The fact that he disputed the cash when he first went down made me immediately think he agreed to be a patsy but the money wasn't in the deal and they're fucking him over.

It's a good thing I'm not a lawyer

My point is just that it's entirely backwards. If he was trying to lay low, then it would be better for him to go to a fancy, gourmet restaurant and act normal. He just needs to dress and act the part, which he clearly can with his background, and maybe trim his eyebrows and he's good. No one is going to be calling the cops on a well-dressed White guy at a steakhouse a state or two over. But sitting around in a hoodie with a mask on at McDonald's is suspicious as fuck to a TrueCrime-brained American, let's be honest.

McDonald's is the type of place you would expect some killer on the run to go for food, but the murderer seems intelligent enough to know and avoid that. Yet, Luigi was hanging around a McDonald's looking suspicious, carrying thousands in cash, and the murder weapon? Seems very convenient. UlyssesT is still out there.

The fact that he disputed the cash when he first went down made me immediately think he agreed to be a patsy but the money wasn't in the deal and they're fucking him over.

How do you mean that?

I'll be totally real with you. Idk I'm remembering what i was thinking back then not going off the same information if you really want to know i can go back and see what i was looking at after work

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No worries. I do think his reaction added to my suspicion that he isn't the guy and is being framed, but just curious what you meant by him agreeing to be the patsy but the money wasn't part of the deal.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh I had a conspiracy theory that they found a guy to go to prison until it all blows over and he gets quietly let out the back door with a bag of cash but as soon as he got picked up he realized they were double crossing him

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

Ah, yeah, that's further down the conspiratorial rabbit hole than I'm going.

I could be wrong but I just don't think he did it and he's being set up.

[–] tocopherol@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

As far as I recall he disputed only the bag being a faraday cage and the money because those were aspects of setting bail and extradition to NY, other pieces of evidence weren't discussed at that specific time.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago

Exactly, if he had brought up that the gun wasn't his before it was even mentioned then he would be really fucked.

Either it's a smart move or he's just an innocent patsy.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

That actually helps thanks
