Well, if it wasn't Luigi, then who was it? Why would someone go through the trouble of finding someone that looks just like him? Who would that be... why was Luigi picked for a scapegoat? If the contention of OP is "Luigi isn't the guy"... then who is? From my standpoint, Luigi had the means, the motive and the motivation due to his personal history and abilities.
I realize that in court his defense won't have to say "we have proof it was this other guy" but I'm not in court right now. If OP doesn't think Luigi did it, then who else would have?
Make up your own mind based on the facts and their justifications, but the reason the rules are like that in court is because punishing people for crimes they didn't commit is injustice, even if you don't ever find the actual culprit.
The sad thing is that a victims family will grasp at anything to have who they think the killer is be put behind bars.
But it's better to let an innocent person walk than get the wrong person, even if it leaves the family devastated.
Hot take.
