    The irony is that this was done to score propaganda points, but, and especially if Luigi keeps arguing the manifesto was fake and planted on him, this will make it harder for the charges to stick.

      How can you even prove it was planted. Its your word against the cops and well, we may know cops are lying but the court won’t care.

        The way the law works in this country is they have to prove the evidence wasn’t planted more than the Defense needs to prove it was.

        Ken Penders insisting Archie’s contract with him was forged was enough to win him publishing rights even with Ken’s track record as a liar.

        It’s a disposable gun. Muad’dib wouldn’t have carried it across state lines, he’d have dumped it. The cops found it, and planted it on Luigi.
