    Innocent until some guy on Lemmy says otherwise?

    Oh wait, no, it still has to be proven.

    Unless you were present at the time, you’ve seen some videos. Perhaps it’s not likely, but videos can be faked, more easily now than ever before.

    Proof first.

      Lemmy isn’t a court of law, neither is the Internet. It’s pretty much universally accepted he killed the guy, if it wasn’t, we wouldn’t have the hero worship.

      What the court is going to decide is if he’s justified or not.

        Lemmy isn’t a court of law, neither is the Internet.

        Proceeds to cite general Internet opinion as proof of guilt.

          Again, this isn’t about “guilt”. Guilt implies some level of wrongdoing, and the court is still out on that.

          The question they will determine is “was he justified”, not “did he do it.”

        The court is also going to need to decide if the cops planted the evidence he conveniently carried with him several days later.

          Any conspiracy theory is going to do some heavy lifting explaining how the highly custom pistol in the video is not the same highly custom pistol found on Luigi.
