Fuck it, I'll play.
The police officers failed to inform him of his rights before a custodial interrogation, so use of the information gathered in those 20 minutes in court would violate his rights as an American citizen who is owed a fair trial that follows due process.
In addition to that, the police officers violated his constitutional rights by searching his possessions without a warrant.
By convicting him, we allow police officers to act as authoritarian jackboots, with no regard for law or due process. We give up the very rights we fought for in the violent birth of our nation. Some could argue that Luigi was fighting against a similar type of tyranny that our Founding Fathers were in their revolution against British oppression.
Perhaps he did shoot that CEO in broad daylight. Maybe he didn't. It doesn't matter, as convicting him would be surrendering our liberties and that should enrage any patriot.
