This story seems to have faded in the wake of events ad nauseam. We are all aware of Senor Luigi. However, most folks can’t recall the full name of the guy that allegedly Luigi gunned down. Mission accomplished.

Takes a while to get a jury together. The legal system is very slow, even in easy cases; and trying to find an unbiased jury makes it even harder.

they will go through a ton of jurors before they will seat one. they needs one dumb enough to be swayed easily by either side. both the defendant and prosecutors are only limited to amount of jurors that strike from a group during jury summons, so they are looking at biases for him and remove them. what they really want is the ones that dont read the news much, or retireers.

This must be a taxing and mentally draining process for all the grown ups in the room.

retirees? like the ones that spend half their time in a hospital room? paying 300$ for bandaids?

There will be no truly unbiased jury, this is way too public and polarizing

Fucking CB radio featured Luigi and that's an impenetrable subculture

CB radio - like “breaker breaker 1 9”?

Damn. We are in CB culture again? My Dad did some Outlaw trucking in the 70’s when Teamsters were on strike. No specifics but CB’s & Trucker culture evaded a ton of trophies for all the “Old Smokies”.
