      Plot twist: this was a group act all along. The murderer flees the scene. Once the image gets released, a second actor shows up at a McDonald’s, a public space. Gets reported to authorities by a third actor, who does actually work at McD’s. They waste the authorities’ time, and the second actor, having commited no crimes, proves his innocence. The actual murderer, in the meantime, disappears for real, benefiting of the time wasted by the authorities. Second actor represents something, and gets some cool pics getting “arrested”

      Idk, the idea just came to mind seeing the comment above

        the second actor, having commited no crimes, proves his innocence.

        Here’s the flaw in your plan: This doesn’t actually work in the US.

          Though the simple act of planting evidence on the suspect. No alibi beats a confession note and an untraceable gun

        if luigi hypothetically did participate in this plan, wouldn’t that itself be a crime (accessory to murder)? so they could still get him for something if they found out about the plan, but probably for less than if he did actually kill someone. i’m not a lawyer though so i don’t really know how this stuff works or if it would even be feasible to prosecute him for any of those things (if he did them)

          Indeed, I can see the parallel. To the movie, of course. I have not read the book, which I reckon has no plots? (It seems ťo be history rather than story). Though they do differ in a few ways. Great movie, imo
