I don't think they could avoid fucking it up. Planting a fucking gun isn't that easy :D
Planting a gun to ensure a conviction? I think the whole “Luigi didn’t do it” conspiracy is silly. Yeah he did it, for sure. And he’s a damn hero for doing it. I don’t see how the ruling class benefits by throwing the wrong guy in jail and letting the killer go free. If there was a non Luigi killer he would have claimed responsibility by now.
And yes I’ve seen the photos of his eyebrow in a shitty security cam, hairs reflect light or become invisible depending on the lighting and camera quality. Luigi hasn’t even denied it flat out. But yes, Luigi did it and praise him for it.
Here's the thing: they're saying it's him, but the evidence is poor and suspicious, and they've been making lots of procedural "mistakes" trying to put him away. Like way too many obvious mistakes that you just can't afford to make in a case like this.
Maybe he did it, maybe he just vaguely looks like a guy in a low-quality photo near the scene of the crime.
I think there are enough issues with the entire process that I wouldn't assume he's definitely the guy. But he's the face that's been associated with the so called crime, and it gives people something to rally around.
Not chiming in on whether or not he is the guy, but the police making mistakes should be considered standard procedure. They're only "competent" in movies and TV shows, so we shouldn't assume they fucking up as evidence for anything besides it being a Monday.
