Is that real? Why would dude take his mask off?
It's "real" in that the police shared the picture: https://x.com/NYPDnews/status/1864706407985221974
though the clothing seems different from an earlier picture, especially with this one having big front pockets in the jacket. so there's claims that it is not the same suspect.
I’m no lawyer, but the legal system calls this “reasonable doubt” and if you are on a jury, you are duty bound to do your best to judge the case on the facts, not vibes.
And the fact is, a grainy photo of two people who may have somewhat similar clothing is not proof, nor mens rea required for a possible murder conviction - who are we to claim to understand the mind of this individual?
The state has a high bar to clear that this anonymous shopper, is the same person they claim, the photo was taken on the same day, that this photo isn’t a forgery/deepfake, that only one set of that particular clothing was ever sold- otherwise it’s hearsay and conjecture.
They’re saying he changed clothes. Which I suppose is possible. Maybe he can also change his height and sex and skin color. Maybe he’s a shapeshifter.
If this isn't the right guy and this guy sees his photo he should probably lawyer up and turn himself in ASAP.
I believe that pic was taken by a security cam from the hostel he was checked into.
