#altho that in itself is very curious especially the prosecution's lack of addressing it and using it to their advantage

look it might not be obvious to the average layperson in america rn, but the reason why the prosecution brought up the socks thing in the motion despite not talking about it in court the day it happened and the way media ran with that story about how all Luigi supporters are deranged fangirls or something is because of a number of reasons.

firstly of course, it distracts people from the very real issues of full discovery not being handed over to the defense even though the deadline for submitting discovery is long gone according to the discovery law in NY and also from how Luigi's legal team had to and is still having to fight to make sure he's able to review all the discovery using a laptop. even tho he is legally entitled to the right to review discovery and MDC rules state that inmates can have a laptop to review discovery.

secondly, it continues the media narrative that everybody supporting Luigi are just there for his looks or whatever else the media keeps saying. they don't want people's very righteous anger and support to be taken seriously. because it brings up questions about the healthcare industry and the authorities don't want to deal with that.

thirdly, it makes Luigi's legal defense team look absolutely incompetent and makes supporters question their capabilities. this should not happen. they're highly qualified for the job of defending him and Luigi has some of the best lawyers that money can ever buy and of course, there's only one of KFA and i can't say anything more than that.

so instead of fighting amongst the people who support him (reddit mods not included here for obvious reasons), please be aware of the real issues and don't lose the plot.
