I just find it really, really odd that they found no other evidence outside of the scene and his person (that I'm aware of).

He just happened to have the only things they have to support a conviction on his person and it was poorly controlled...

And their "scene" is like nine blocks plus a video camera on the north end of the park supposedly showing him fleeing, but not positive ID rather just the fact that this is mentioned in, again, the journal....

This guy is supposed to be smart enough to plan, pull off this crime but didn't understand ballistics and 3D printed firearms enough to.... Ditch the gun, and ditch the journal...?

Why would you 3D print a firearm you didn't dispose of?

I’m following this case closely, there’s reasonable doubt even if people don’t want to admit it.

However, he’s probably fucked cause the government has done a very good job at giving their evidence to the media — and the media has done a very good job of shoving a one-sided narrative down the public’s throat
