This could be a scapegoat
But this could also be the perpetrator claiming he's a scapegoat, which is probably the best way to get a Jury to acquit, just plant doubts.
I'm gonna say that this is probably the actual perpetrator and I guess he was planning on more targets, but got caught before he could do more "deposing".
Why not ditch the first weapon then? He could have just gotten another gun. Why would he have kept ALL the evidence on his person 5 days later?
If this is actually the perpetrator, it's possible he intended to get caught so that they dont find a scapegoat to accuse, but he merely wanted to delay his arrest in order to see the social media reactions before potentially going to prison.
If that's the case, I'll bet he was loving it. Has anyone ever captured the admiration of so many people with one act? Especially an act this violent?
Free Luigi.
Well OJ Simpson kinda did, well his crime was obviously much more morally wrong, but there are people cheering for him during his police chase, but probably not as unanimous as with Luigi.
I think that's notably different because nobody was cheering that Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman were killed, they were either cheering that the cops were "losing" the chase or because they thought he was innocent.
The consensus here is that The Adjustor definitely committed murder and we think that rocks.
Yes. Learn your history.
Yeah. If they were looking for someone to frame, NYPD could have just grabbed someone in NY. I don't see how it makes sense for them to coordinate with PA police to frame a random guy out of state, especially that quickly. I doubt they'd have been able to fabricate the evidence that quickly, too.
So they took evidence, and instead of analyzing it, sent it out of state to be planted on some random guy three days later? That seems even more unlikely.
Maybe, but in this case, as in many high-profile cases, the cops are determined to catch a guy, not necessarily the guy. Not that they care about this particular victim. They don't. But they sure as hell don't like looking like fools. If they felt that the real shooter had slipped away (after all, most murders do go unsolved these days) then they might be very inclined to find a patsy and frame him up.
Unlikely if you have trust in the regime... Most people don't have such trust.
No, it just doesn't make sense. No trust required.
