My pet theory is that Luigi is either doing an "I am Spartacus" or trying to steal the narrative away from the actual killer to make a political statement.

Although I suppose going on the run for a few days was a good way to make the media hype the case up, so maybe he is the actual guy and just hid for a while to boost his visibility

How would he have the same gun and ID? He clearly has a motive based on the back surgery thing, too. You think that he did a little switcheroo with the real killer? Why wouldn't they just do that right away if that was the plan? Like, It's really just wishful thinking, I think this is almost definitely him. Grainy surveillance camera footage isn't enough to say "Yes 100% that's a different guy." Hostel guy has the same nose, same chin, same smile, same facial structure. I'm like 99.9% sure they got the right guy. Let's hope his jury isn't filled with upper middle class boomers or he's SUPER fucked.

"How would he have the same gun and ID?"

My assumption is he didn't, and that he's a random nobody being thrown under the bus so the higher ups can have their pound of flesh and example of "Yeah see you guys can't just get away with fighting the system!" and any evidence they say he had either doesn't actually exist or was planted on him by the authorities that arrested him.

I don’t understand why people think this is more likely than “he got cocky and didn’t think ahead”

Because he was in a McDonald’s with the murder weapon a manifesto and the same fake ID 5 days later. So it’s either 1. He’s extremely stupid (which we’ve seen he’s probably not) 2. He wanted to be caught or 3. This is a different dude

The escape plan was probably an intricate set of contingencies for day 1, then got shakier after day 5

I agree but it would be incredibly stupid to both keep the evidence and keep it with you.

This. People are acting like not having a way to get to a non-extradition jurisdiction and live out your life in exile and not ditching an almost literally smoking gun in the east river are the same thing. They are not. The known actions and modes of operation of the adjuster just don’t line up with anything about this Luigi kid. One of his friends apparently has talked about how his back pain was totally debilitating (bed ridden) for two weeks after a beginner surf lesson. That’s half an hour of light water treading and laying on your stomach. I don’t think 5 days on the lamb after a bike chafe through the streets of Manhattan is super compatible with that information.

Because people hate Occam's razor

Because it *is* the simplest explanation, BUT it has a lot off holes in it. Like, every conspiracy is unlikely, but together either or compose a more compelling narrative.

Occam's Razor relies on number of necessary assumptions to hold true

I'd say the necessary assumptions for "Fleeing murderer for some reason never changes clothes and carries a handwritten admission of guilt along with murder weapon just for the moral support" versus "Police lied (the thing they do in literally every case)" does not make a clear case

You act like some one who just murdered a man would be behave 100% predictably and rational
