    That’s not the type of popularity I’m talking about.

    Luigi is young, approachable, affable, and not unattractive. I don’t believe for a moment that someone without those qualities would enjoy any sympathy from a jury.

      Full hearted agreement. Pretty privilege is an observable phenomenon and Luigi is a cutie.

      Heck, you could even argue that sharing a name with one of the Mario Bros from Nintendo makes Luigi seem family-friendly, silly, and meme-able.

      Either of which could explain a future where Luigi would be found innocent by jury nullification where an amorphous blob that represents every other possibility would be found guilty.

      However, the only way to be sure is to test the hypothesis. So to all you scientists out there, go forth and collect more data points!
