It's so ridiculous, too. As far as I can tell, he was arrested, because his clothes looked superficially similar to the person who shot the CEO, but if you spend five seconds comparing the security camera images, it's pretty obvious that none of the clothing items actually match. If they hole him up based on this evidence, that's embarrassing.

Not even just the clothing. I mean, you can change clothes, and lighting can affect colors pretty wildly (see: white/gold or blue/black dress). I don't think anyone can change the shape of their face, grow a unibrow, and get a darker complexion in the span of 3 days, though.

Are you forgetting the silenced pistol and fake ID they found on him?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

I guess, I'm not up-to-date on the situation then...

[–] Earflap@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

Haha yes the ID and pistol that definitely existed and definitely weren't planted.

The pistol, ID, and manifesto that anybody on the run would’ve ditched in New York and could have well been in the hands of the police to be planted on whoever they saw fit?
