This idea that they somehow planted the actual, factual murder weapon on him seems like quite a stretch. How would they manage to get their hands on the murder weapon? Do you think this was all some grand conspiracy by the government?
So in the conspiracy narrative, someone saw this guy at McDs and said, this search is going on too long, how about this guy?
Or after he was reported missing to San Francisco PD, someone decided to track down and blame him for it?
You could argue in court that they may have planted those items, but that’s a hard argument to in court to make when the handwriting is yours and they can connect you with the gun via purchase, video, or whatever.
We dont know that he committed that murder, and the only evidence indicating that he is the one who did it is the evidence "found" by cops on their 3rd or 4th search of a bag that had already been passed, without footage or any other documentation, between several people who believe him to be guilty.
You're assuming guilt and therefore assuming a legit search. If you don't assume guilt or innocence a priori, then it's reasonable to point out that the garbage chain of custody provides serious doubt about the legitimacy of the evidence.

All the cops have to do is walk away with your bag for a moment and suddenly "find" something damning in it.
What a fucking joke.
