Oh my, that hearing was… a lot 😭

(long post incoming!!)

I feel emotional now knowing more about the defense strategy - both because the upcoming trial is starting to feel more real (it’s actually happening!!) - but also since these hearings are always a reminder of what a horrible situation he is in 💔

But I don’t feel upset about learning about the EED strategy because I do feel it’s a good thing and I was kind of expecting something like this.

Reasons why I feel this is the best approach given the circumstances:

1. This is probably the easiest way for his team to directly address the American healthcare system during the trial. This allows them to actually present a broader context behind what happened and use it to help paint the bigger picture of the “murderous healthcare industry”, especially knowing about the strong public support that already clearly exists.

2. It’s easier and more believable to portray Luigi as someone who, up until this incident, had been a absolute model citizen - and someone who most definitely can still be a very productive member of society and therefore doesn’t deserve OR need to spend the rest of his life in prison.

3. It also gives me some hope knowing they’ve apparently been working on this strategy since September. It makes me think that he has had/now have, some type of outlet to discuss his mental health, whether with his legal team or mental health professionals as part of this process.

4. Hopefully, this could also create an opening for friends and family to be more openly supportive moving forward/during the trial. Supporting someone who experienced an emotional breakdown or mental health episode is probably easier for them to do publicly than supporting someone who is being portrayed as a cold-blooded killer.

5. It could also make it easier for Luigi to eventually tell his story more openly. If what happened is framed through the lens of a mental health crisis, it may give him a better opportunity in the future to discuss it, explain his perspective, and share his side of the story.

6. It may also make it easier for him to continue building public support. Supporters now have a clearer narrative to stick to (and doesn’t need to argue among themselves 🙃), and it may be easier for the general public who already sympathize with him to continue doing so while also sharing their own experiences with health insurance and healthcare-related struggles relevant to the case.

7. I think this approach could also help him as he himself processes everything and tries to move forward. Compared to an “I wasn’t even the shooter” defense, where he might have to suppress a lot of thoughts and emotions for the sake of the strategy, this approach maybe allows him to start working through what happened both now but also long term. It could make it easier for him to eventually acknowledge his actions openly and build a healthy life after release - whether that means finding a romantic partner, starting a family, or just creating some stability for himself ❤️

Let’s goooo! Luigi & Karen saving our constitution and our democracy one objection at a time 🙌

They may get their way or they may not. Either way they’ve spoken up, called the court out with proof, and no one here is going down without a fight 👊 an Italian fight. Mob boss style.

Notes: Confronting Samedi

[Audio link: http://www.purgatorysd.com/media/1111/212104.mp3]

Officer Haught: Hands where I can see them, Samedi.

Baron Samedi: [in a deep voice] Hello, Nicole. I see you brought a friend. Are you here to make a deal?

Officer Haught: [Calamity Jane meows in the background] Not even close. I’m here to ask you to leave Purgatory and never come back.

Baron Samedi: Oh, I would love to sweetheart, but I’m afraid I’m stuck in this awful place you call a town. Hell, I can’t even find a good cigar in this shitty dustbowl Have you found my hat? Give it to me, and I’ll make things right again.

Officer Haught:  Your days in Purgatory are over, Samedi. 

Baron Samedi: I know it’s close by. I will tear apart every inch of this town to get it back. GIVE IT TO ME NOW.

Officer Haught: Hands up Samedi.

Jeremy: [chants in foreign language]

Baron Samedi: [laughs] Your little spell won’t work on me. I want that hat. 

Officer Haught: Go back to where you came from. 

[sounds of fire and Samedi screaming]

Jeremy: Holy crap. How did you know that would work?

Officer Haught: I didn’t! I thought lighting his hat on fire would either get rid of him or make him really really mad. God, I’m glad that worked.
