That’s the part that bugs me the most. It’s not just that he had a hard copy, it’s not just that he had it on hand, it’s that he had a hard copy on hand. The point of a manifesto isn’t to let it sit in your car next to the murder weapon you used 3 days ago, the point is to have other people read it.
He’s an apparently intelligent and articulate software engineer… and he keeps a hard copy… of his manifesto… on his person…? Knowing it would be wildly incriminating? Like, come on. Also, the tone and diction of “his” manifesto seems a liiiiiiiiiittle off to me compared to written correspondences he’s had with people since being imprisoned that have been posted online.
TL;DR I don’t buy what the NY DA is selling here, for a LOT of reasons.
Right??? Who the fuck would keep a hard copy on hand…? Like… what…?
