The pigs also claim he had $8000USD in cash on him and $2000 in an unnamed "foreign currency". Luigi said himself in his bail hearing that he did not have that much money with him, and suggested the additional amount was planted.
How very convenient for the police and the prosecuting attorney, because they used that money they "found" to successfully convince the judge that Luigi shouldn't be granted bail.
I'm skeptical, too. I could imagine the cops bribed the guy to go to court and put on a show because they didn't want to set the precedent that people could murder CEOs and get away with it due to the cops' incompetence with their massively funded surveillance system.
Like I said, I'm believe it's kinda sus, multiple reasons are plausible. We'll have to wait and see.
on average, people who do murders don't tend to be geniuses
Edit: to be clear, most moral acts don’t require great genius. sacrificing yourself to undermine a system that murders countless innocent people is a heroic act independent of how skilled you are at serial homicide. a person who is exceptionally skilled at killing people and getting away with it is much more likely to be a bad person, since the roles that enable you to get the most practice at it are things like imperial cop, imperial soldier, or CEO of a private health insurance company
On average, murderers don't go to Ivy League schools either. But this guy Luigi did. Why would he be so careless?
Edit: also graduated from an engineering program. Not exactly the easy route through most schools. Engineers are famously lacking in common sense and real-world experience, though.
an Ivy is a measure of family wealth, not individual intelligence. I know US TV has conditioned everyone to believe that they could totally get away with murder if they wanted to, but there’s a reason most people don’t test that belief. even the smartest person isn’t at their best when acting on impulsive decisions under pressure
Ivy League means nothing about intelligence - or rather it just means he met the bar to attend post-secondary. Ivy League speaks more to one's socio-economic position.
They 'found' him in a McDonald's with all the relevant information on his person. The same guy that was smart ebough to drop his backpack at the scene and leave no traces. That's fishy, but we won't know for sure until more comes out.
people make mistakes, keeping the stuff because he didn't expect getting caught in the first place is not an insane thought. also seems like a weird individual to put as a fall guy.
the BTK serial killer got caught because he taunted the police with a microsoft word document licensed under his name.
This seems most likely to me, given the situation with his Youtube channel. Possibly the killer might be someone else but it being Mr. Mangione is more likely.
why?
Police found so much evidence that he'd have to be idiotic to still have on him. Gun, suppressor, and the fake ID he used to check into the hotel.

It's not uncommon for these high profile adventurists &/ killers to keep a "trophy" from their endeavors.
I suspect this might be them just wanting to pin it on anyone that matches the picture just to save face.

This was a pretty good murder, we all saw it idunno

Agree. But I say that's a much better argument against this guy's motive (and likelyhood of guilt) than making any kind intelligence argument.
