Lay out the bare facts - this is a premeditated murder of a complete stranger for the purpose of fomenting fear and social upheaval. You'd be hard-pressed to mad-lib that into a situation that didn't call for capital charges. From a motivational and operational standpoint MarioLuigi is a low-effort version of The Unabomber and that dude absolutely faced capital charges.

So things go one of two ways here:

- MarioLuigi goes the Unabomber way and makes the trial a grandstand for all his ideas. He dismisses council that doesn't let him get out his message. Any attempts at insanity pleas or extenuating circumstances are shut down by the defendant, the trial revolves around maximizing exposure for the defendant's ideas and philosophy and MarioLuigi ends up in life in prison without the possibility of parole.

- MarioLuigi goes the FTX way and lawyers up like a mutherfucker. Big expensive lawyers try to contain his outbursts and PR firms portray a complicated portrait of a concerned, promising young man whose only crime is method not motive. Rolling Stone puts his face on the cover, Hulu and Netflix joust over who can suck his cock in the most artfully tasteless way. MarioLuigi ends up in life in prison without the possibility of parole.

So what do you think? 'cuz me? I think this little shit is no Ted Kaczynski. he is, say it with me -

just another TESCREAL dipshit.
