At this point, the idea of Luigi is more important than the man. And it doesn't hurt that the media's been fucking up and forgetting to call him an ALLEGED killer.

So he'd be the reverse of OJ, in that he'd be found innocent of a crime he didn't commit, but beloved by everyone as most believe he did to it. (Whereas with OJ being found innocent of a crime he DID commit made him hated because everyone believe he did, infact, do that shit)

OJ is a lot different. He was a famous celebrity sports figure. He killed or didn’t kill his wife. The public only cared about OJ because of his celebrity status, and because the woman was white, and he is black.

I don’t think it’s a very good comparison.
