    People have been saying since he was announced as a suspect that he didn’t look like the shooter that appeared on the cameras. He sort of looks like him but it’s really not that clear cut that it’s definitely him

            How could he have planned a murder if we were so busy setting up the balloons and signs? That party took days of prep work.

      Even if he’s really the shooter, imagine if they cannot prove it’s him because it would showcase the immense dystopian surveillance tech everywhere in the US. So they had to pretend they got an anonymous call and plant evidence instead.

          The good faith exception is such bullshit.

          I don’t get a good faith exception if I truly thought that the speed limit was actually 75 instead of 55, even if my phone and car told me that was the case.

          It doesn’t even make sense to me in a mental gymnastics way, like, just because I tried hard and was honest, doesn’t make a warrant any more or less valid.

            If you have a decent lawyer this is possible I’m pretty sure. Essentially the wealthy do get a good faith exception.

              There’s an income level that lets you do “weekend jail” on your fifth DUI.

              If you are Sarah Stitt, wife of Oklahoma’s Governor, you won’t even get the DUI. Just stumble drunkenly out of that state vehicle (which you aren’t supposed to be using, but you’ve got the Republican princess pass), insist that you are married to the Governor, and they won’t even charge you!

      If the defence can create enough doubt that the gun was his, I doubt they have a case otherwise.

      Especially considering the jury may well be quite sympathetic to him.

        I think people on the internet vastly overestimate how sympathetic a jury will be.

        Tbf just because he had a gun on him doesn’t mean he was the shooter. I have a gun on me, am I the shooter Greg? Plenty people have guns, and it’s even legal to have a 3d printed gun, and even if he was concealed carrying without a permit, “so?”

            Kinda, yeah if the barrel and striker matches up that’ll be tough to beat. That could be easily thwarted though by running a rough brush, or changing the barrel with another one, and changing the striker, and if he’s worth his salt he ditched those before he even left the city. And even a match isn’t necessarily 100% proof it’s the gun, just like 99.999% lol.

            Honestly, I do think it was him, personally. Just playing devils advocate.

          Having a 3D printed gun on you isn’t something most people do though, so it’s not a good look.
