    Ok, well, unfortunately Luigi’s lawyers can’t travel back in time to prevent him being prosecuted, so filing for double jeopardy is the only way forward for them.

        I’m sure there are plenty of people on their armchairs saying otherwise, but the defense attorney’s job is to defend their client to the best of their ability, which often translates into what is the best case scenario? The odds of double jeopardy were certain, while any form of trial and winning are so fantastically small that they’re irrelevant.

        You said otherwise when you objected to them saying filing for double jeopardy is their only way forward.
