    Yeah, I assumed it wasn’t too keep him under control, but because of the hero worship he’s receiving.

      Of course it still looks really bad on camera. This is one of those lose/lose situations where your best course of action still amplifies a message you probably don’t want to amplify.

      Absolutely. Turns out people still hate murderers, and like justice. Hence the love for luigi and why Derrick Murderer hasn’t got crowds demanding his release…

        To people who don’t know the story (ie potential jurors) it could be detrimental, but I’m sure his lawyer will address that.

          Does any potential juror possibly not know about this? We’re not talking about rare mineral slave miners here.
