This is 100% the approach I’m betting the defense will take. “Yeah he did it but he deserved it” would be a great story but an absolute dipshit defense to take. Court of law is separate from court of public opinion, and unless they can prove he did it without reasonable doubt then not guilty is the way to go.
Prosecutor: Could you find defendant guilty?
Potential juror: I could.
Narrator: They couldn’t.
I don’t think jury nullification will be needed. I legit think that Luigi didn’t do it. Meaning a simple acquittal is all what is needed.
As for the real killer? I hope he lived a quiet life.
