He’s never getting out of there alive.

    This isn’t really abnormal. He’s accused of murder, and a pretty high profile one at that. It’s not uncommon in the slightest for people accused of high profile crimes and people accused of murder to be held in custody pending trial.

      To clarify: There are only two actual reasons that you can legally be held without bail. The first reason is that you’re considered a flight risk. The second reason is that you’re considered a danger to yourself or others if let out of prison before your trial.

      For the first reason, this basically means that the courts don’t believe you would return for your trial, and would flee instead. Maybe you’re rich enough that you can afford to lose the bail money. Maybe you have international connections and can disappear to another country. Maybe you just have a history of fleeing. The Adjuster is 100% without a doubt a flight risk. He fled authorities and evaded a nationwide manhunt for an entire week. And since Luigi is accused of being The Adjuster, he is considered a flight risk.

      For the second reason, this is basically the court going “you were accused of something so violent or egregious that we don’t trust you to avoid doing something similar again while out on bail.” This is most often used with cases like school shooters, serial killers, serial rapists, serial burglars, etc… Basically, the prosecutor argues that if they’re let out, they’ll just fall right back into their old ways again. But a scummy pro-corporation prosecutor could construe The Adjuster as a violent extremist who is likely to strike again.

    They would absolutely not allow him to die in prison.

    They want to make a public example of him in order to show the proletariat they are the masters.

    They will find a way to find him guilty and they will execute him.

    They will make sure we all know it.

    I mean he’s accused of premeditated murder, has the resources to flee, and I’m pretty sure “they” want a spectacle to make an example.

    they wont let him get shanked by accident, and they wont Epstein him until they have their spectacle

    How do you know that to be true? What evidence do you have to support the hypothesis?

    Even if the outcome you fear to be true comes to pass, that will not mean you were correct today.

    Without evidence to support the hypothesis, you’re doing nothing more complicated than guessing the result of flipping a coin.

    Maybe because killing unarmed civilians is wrong. Maybe because starting armed violence is wrong. Maybe because the number of CEOs didn’t decrease and healthcare isn’t getting any better.
