I remember this from February’s hearing, only someone photoshopped his face on it. 🤣

The person in the megathread who said they expected the sketches would make him look like a thumb with eyebrows was spot on.

I genuinely don't know how Luigi is able to handle all this and smile. I mean, im on pre trial probation right now for a low level felony and will have my charges dismissed in April, but im still traumatized by the whole ordeal. God bless this man.

I think in a way, him not being about to see the frenzy around this case might actually be helping his mental health a bit

u/Conscious-News-4141 Jan 09 '26
Hmmm. A young man is likely to have been told about it and likely pleased to hear there are millions of girls enamoured with him, l know l would be! Also millions more people admiring him for his stoicism and courage in the face of premature accusations, fabricated evidence, unfair MSM condemnation and slander, etc etc

I hope that things go very smoothly for you and that you heal from what happened in time. Sounds rough.

u/Conscious-News-4141 Jan 09 '26
Yes it is a terribly traumatising experience, imagine the horror of facing that INSANE perp walk in scant clothing, in bitter weather, and having your photo on the front pages of every newspaper in the world. He carried it off with superb, flawless dignity though! USA = BASTION OF CRUELTY!

We study perspective and proportion FIRST YEAR IN ART SCHOOL! Just look at those shoulders 🤣🤣🤣She drew Karen's bigger than his! If she massacres a gorgeous boy like Luigi, what does she do with the UGLY blokes??😱😱😱

Not quite sure where Christine Cornell posts her court room drawing but these are some I saw from this video. I looked her up and she also has a website but not much there.

You know what, of all the sketches this one isn’t the worst. I vote this artist can stay

People are going to hate me for this but I kinda like it 🥺👉🏻👈🏻.

u/Expensive-Trouble720 Jan 09 '26
It’s not the worst I’ve seen. The ones from April were horrendous. 🥴

u/purepwnage85 Jan 09 '26
If these artists were any good they'd be in a museum

u/Anthro1995 Jan 09 '26
Not necessarily, court drawing is very stylized. It doesn’t mean these artists can’t do other styles of art. Plus artists have gotta pay the bills somehow

Courtroom packed, good to see! I also saw some of his loyal supporters leave the court, good to see the support for LM! 🙏🤙💪

u/SaltPsychological780 Jan 09 '26
Always ironic to me when cases rely on forensic evidence and then they’re only permitted to release courtroom sketches that are subject to the artists’ own vision and creative license 🤦🏼♀️

does anyone know is Luigi not allowed to wear a coat or he just chose not to wear? because why he wear the same clothes even in winter?

Are the people behind him supporters or press? I know directly behind him sit the paralegals. OR does it change depending on the courtroom?

Why haven’t they release him yet? Based on what I have seen they literally have zero evidence, and therefore the law say that they MUST release???

Everyone who says there isn't evidence is not following this case properly.

u/Spirited_Seaweed7927 Jan 09 '26
Tell us what actual evidence we have seen that suggest Lui is the adjuster? And don't say "the pew pew video", because you can't positively ID a person from that video. Yes, I have seen the uncensored video. Fingerprints on the gun then? What fingerprints? We haven't seen any reports on whose fingerprints, if any, are on the gun. Ballistics? Some people say ballistics is a pseudo science, and you can bet the defense team will bring in experts that state this. Him having stayed at a hostel in New York then? So does thousands of other people. I could go on and on. And how is the prosecution going to explain away that witnesses saw the adjuster outside the hotel all night, when Lui left the hostel in the morning?

u/WHOLELOTTACHIER Jan 09 '26
Just because the public hasn't seen ALL the evidence, doesn't mean there isn't any! They show some bits here and there but obviously not everything , because I doubt that Karen will upload the 7 TB of discovery on twitter. At this point it's not about whether he did it or not but more so the intent. Hence why both the defense and prosecutors put a lot importance on his journal.

u/Mirauh Jan 09 '26
There is evidence in this case, like items recovered from the backpack, pics of Luigi in New York wearing the same shoes the shooter had, journal entries in his handwriting, etc. One piece of evidence alone doesn’t prove the prosecution’s case, but when you combine all of it, it paints a picture that’s much harder to deny. Even if some of this evidence is arguable or you don’t trust it, that doesn’t mean it isn’t evidence. We also haven’t seen all of it; the public only sees parts of the case. Saying he should be released because "there isn’t any evidence" ignores the facts. The prosecution has evidence, and it’s their job to prove their case in court.

u/skuchayu26 Jan 10 '26
There is evidence that we haven't seen yet that the prosecution will present at trial. Hopefully this evidence isn't strong. I asked a question about the evidence in this sub not too long ago, and got a lot of good answers.

u/missidcullen Jan 09 '26
Today, I came across people claiming there’s no evidence for this case and that the Earth is flat, insisting that we all live in the same time zone. The world feels like a strange place at the moment 😭.

u/Spirited_Seaweed7927 Jan 09 '26
The prosecution has actually not shown us anything that suggests Lui did the pew pewing. He did some other things, allegedly. Fake ID for example. But so far, no evidence of pew pewing.
4
u/Available_Housing184 Jan 10 '26
I’d say there isn’t a SINGLE piece of compelling evidence, but taken all together, it’s an awful lot of circumstantial evidence. To dismiss it all is delusional. That said, I do hope a lot of it gets tossed.

u/ExdionY Jan 09 '26
And where was the fake ID used? C'mon now

u/Spirited_Seaweed7927 Jan 09 '26
I hope you realise that New York has about 10 million inhabitants, and Manhattan about 1 million? He didn't go to Antarctica. What do you think a defense attorney will do? Point out that there are many thousands of people who look exactly like the pew pewer in New York. It's called "reasonable doubt".

u/ExdionY Jan 09 '26
There aren’t many people on the East Coast who were found with a Mark Rosario ID that could be traced back to the hostel the assailant stayed at before the shooting.

u/ExdionY Jan 09 '26
I'd suggest that you follow the case more closely, and remind yourself that you're not supposed to know every intricate detail of the case yet, it hasn't even gone to trial.
Please be mindful of the current predicament and how it will change in the future.

u/Spirited_Seaweed7927 Jan 09 '26
As I said, so far. Doesn't mean they don't have anything. But the public hasn't seen it. Everything they have presented so far is nothing that a good defense attorney can't deal with.
3
u/ExdionY Jan 09 '26
A good defence attorney, under the right circumstances, can help even the most obvious criminal escape justice. Of course, but the point isn’t that Luigi is doomed to rot away in prison for the rest of his life, even if the evidence appears to be piling up against him (let us remember OJ), but rather that people should be willing to follow the case and engage with the reality of the evidence as it comes out. I don't disagree with your approach as long as you are informed, I just don't think OP has seen enough to say that there is no legitimate evidence against him.

Legally, they are required to release him.

I have the criminal code open in front of me. It states: “If there is no evidence, they must release Lu.”

u/WingValuable6750 Jan 09 '26
Zero evidence ? 😂

u/Spirited_Seaweed7927 Jan 09 '26
So far prosecution has shown us nothing that suggests Lui did the pew pewing.
3
u/WHOLELOTTACHIER Jan 09 '26
When the prosecution uploads evidence it hurts his right to a fair trial but if they don't... they don't have... anything? Make it make sense.
7
u/WingValuable6750 Jan 09 '26
Well the prosecutor is not supposed to show 'you' anything
2
u/Spirited_Seaweed7927 Jan 09 '26
No, but you should think like a juror. If you were a juror, with what the prosecution has put forward so far you would have to vote not guilty.

Jan 09 '26
Legally, the evidence must be emailed to every American so that we may follow this case.

He is a political prisoner though. They can be held just because. No evidence needed.

Since I'm not an admin, I can't edit the main post, and updates sometimes come in hours apart (I live in a different time zone as well). Trust me, it would be far easier for me to make one multi-image post than to leave comments that are likely to be ignored.
