Is this the mayor who slandered Luigi and infringed his right to a fair trial?

Why are they stepping down instead of making an actual stand and forcing their hand? Just making it easier for them. This is exactly what they want.

I agree. I understand if you’re a meager little underling, but if you’re in charge of investigating, then you need to take a stand and use the power you wield to stop or slow them down.

Now make a law firm and get Luigi acquitted.
