It’s one thing to say he’s innocent because you believe he didn’t murder the guy. It’s an entirely different thing to say he was justified in murdering someone, or to encourage others to commit a murder. The latter is not legally defensible.

Personally, I doubt the evidence against Luigi is conclusive, so I’d argue that he’s simply innocent. But I would certainly not encourage anyone else to start murdering executives, because that would be legally indefensible.
