Not really… “not guilty” can mean, he didn’t do it, or else he was temporarily insane because he was in pain from his medical condition, or even Ed Snowden’s “yeah I did it and it was illegal but at the end of the day I was right to do it and I think I can convince a jury of that.” Or just the OJ Simpson “let’s talk about something else for a while and change the subject” defense. It could be a lot of things.
But I do get it that that might be their defense and they’re just not saying anything about it because they’re waiting for the trial to lay out anything at all about it.
A good defense team doesn’t go around screaming what their defense strategy is going to be. Just because they aren’t telling YOU, doesn’t mean they have a bad defense strategy. They drop their bombs when the time is right.
Yeah. Sometimes for high-profile cases, lawyers have a habit of giving press conferences and things, but that’s kind of an exception to the norm and not necessarily a good idea I think.
Proving Luigi wasn’t there somehow would be their job in court. Considering he was arrested, there may not be a clearly provable alibi like in To Kill A Mockingbird.
I haven’t heard that his defense team is trying to claim that… I feel like if that was reality they would have. Maybe not, but I feel it.
What would the defense say? “That wasn’t him, just someone who looks similar.”
They already claim that by pleading innocent at the start.

Well thats the thing. Nobody in the history of court has plead innocent. Thats not a thing. You can plead guilty, no contest, or not guilty.
And “not guilty” isn’t the same as “innocent”
I’m sorry I don’t know all the arcane incantations of your court system of the top of my head.
