How will they convict Luigi? (hexbear.net)

Is it really possible they'll find an entire dozen people who've never been fucked over by health insurance to preside as jurors over this case?

It's my understanding that the defense and prosecutor both must agree on the selection of jurors. In such a high profile case where the defendant is clearly in the right, is it really possible they'll find the requisite 12 people who've not only been living under a rock these past couple weeks, but also have what's essentially a "neutral stupid" character alignment?

Luigi himself seems to be on this same train of thought given he turned himself in. He had several days to destroy the evidence, but instead he went to McDonalds while cosplaying as the Adjuster, carrying the gun on his person. Surely this implies he won't take a plea deal, right?

Yeah but the defense needs to agree with the prosecutor on jury selection, meaning it's going to be difficult to ensure all twelve members are the worst of the bootlicking chuds. Only one decent person needs to slip through the cracks to cause a mistrial. Leftists who don't constantly overdose on civility fetishism are certainly not numerous in the west, but I have to hold out hope we (and those who sympathize with us) comprise at least one twelfth the population.
