      About 1/3 of America’s incarcerated have not seen their day in court yet. I know this doesn’t answer your question, it just shows how common it is.

        Yes. The constitution says people cannot “be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law,” and “the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial,” and “excessive bail shall not be required.” But these parts of the constitution have been long disregarded, and it’s hard to imagine a government that attacked people for having constitutionally protected opinions about Charlie Kirk’s death would allow the suspected killer to be living a decent life.

    The guy that’s on video 30 miles away at the time of the shooting?

    The shooting where police released an AI generated security cam video to ‘prove’ the shooter did hardcore parkour across roofs while repeatedly shoving a rifle that has never been found in and out of his pants, while allegedly having a different deconstructed rifle in his pants, which he later perfectly put back together and gingerly placed in the woods not too far from the shooting for no apparent reason?

    Hopefully whoever made Luigi the deal he took to take the fall doesn’t make it to Robinson; I’d love to see prosecutors go in front of a jury and explain how this guy that teleports and rebuilds and disassembles rifles instantly while doing parkour has let a jail keep him locked up this long.

      The plea deal was (realistically speaking) actually a very smart move for Luigi. At the federal level, most serious charges got dismissed. He ended up pleading guilty to a couple counts of stalking. That leaves state changes, which they may be able to get dismissed due to double jeopardy issues.

    So is he going to be charged for assisting suicide or what? At least it’s must be a redeeming factor that Charlie Kirk was begging for it.
