    To both of you: Given the specificity of your wording, I am honestly curious, do you believe he did not pull the trigger, or do you believe that he did, but is free of wrongdoing? There’s a big difference between the two views.

      I do not believe he pulled the trigger. It doesn’t look like the same guy, and given all the planning that went into this, i don’t think they would’ve caught the killer with the murder weapon and a manifesto. It seems too good to be true in a crime that frankly risked starting a class war. They needed to find someone to blame fast and that’s why we hear about so many issues with how the case has been handled. The media is portraying this as Luigi did in fact murder brian thompson but i believe in innocence until proven guilty, and based on current evidence i have no reason to believe Luigi is the shooter. Frankly, no one should. The fact that people widely accept that he did (or joke that he didn’t) shows how difficult it will be to have a fair trial.

        I think you’re confusing the ideas of “Innocent until proven guilty” with “reasonable suspicion”. I hesitate to ask, but, do you think OJ did it?

          I’m not confusing anything. It’s not my job to investigate or prove who murdered Brian thompson. And when there are many red flags about the case then i think everyone should be skeptical. Law enforcement can use reasonable suspicion to further their investigation and to detain someone while the public should await trial to form their opinion about a very political case

          Why would you hesitake to ask? I never looked into OJ so don’t have an opinion. I only care about Brian thompson’s case because the widespread political issue directly tied to it.
