    Sounds like they’re grasping at straws to get a bigger sentence or something, Luigi stans are nothing but adventurist larps in reality

      That’s not a good prosecution strategy. I can remember multiple cases that were acquittals because they overcharged.

      One is the Casey Anthony case, where they charged her with Capital murder, when they couldn’t even determine a cause of death. As a juror, I’m not sentencing a young woman to the death penalty for murder, when they can’t even tell me how the child died.

        they are hoping to have jurors dumb enough to charge for even 1 crime, if they overcharge people, especially with multiple ones. thats why its usually the people chosen for jurors, are people that dont speak up, retirees, or fully paid employees.
