There are piles of dead martyrs, entire families with their own personal martyrs. Throwing another one on the pile is nothing to them, they’ve weathered it before. Him getting to make his case at trial and the chance he could successfully acquit himself creates far more unfamiliar and frightening possibilities. I am almost certain a trial is the worst possible outcome for those who feel threatened by Luigi’s actions.
