I’m pretty sure he did it, but the way this whole thing was handled has been atrocious and incredibly stupid.
At this point yes, they’ve fucked his whole right to a fair trial beyond repair.
I'm legitimately unconvinced that they got the right guy. There are issues with all of the evidence against him, and I fully believe that the federal government would, in the absence of an actual suspect, frame the first convenient loner. Like there's probably a list of "questionable" individuals in a file at the FBI that they can pull up when they need a scapegoat. "How about this Luigi guy? He's in the general vicinity, and he doesn't have an alibi. Grab the gun and one of those manifestos from the pile, we gotta go pick him up."
It's also possible he's guilty, but the prosecution still has to follow the rule of law. If he cannot get a fair trial, he must go free. That's the only way we can be certain that the government won't throw us in prison without a fair trial.
The only reason I'm not sure they framed him is the wealthy family; why didn't they pick some poor fucker?
You just pick someone that has some unstable ramblings you can use as the main base of your evidence that you didn't fabricate. It's not like his family is fuck you wealthy.
he was also right wing and wealthy, im not surprised they arnt labeling him as such to get public opinion turned against him, since media does want to offen the republican base.
