Interestingly Luigi is pretty much guilty by default, so why stack the court and make it into a spectacle that it is? He can easily be convicted with less coverage, and pomp surrounding the trial. So this is unlikely to "stack the court" but more message to the masses: "we own you. there's nothing you can do".

I think all of it is them trying to send a message. That’s why they needed the photo of him being perp walked with the (corrupt as fuck) mayor. The funny part is that it’s just emboldening everyone instead.

Guilty of murder or terrorism?
