    On average, murderers don’t go to Ivy League schools either. But this guy Luigi did. Why would he be so careless?

    Edit: also graduated from an engineering program. Not exactly the easy route through most schools. Engineers are famously lacking in common sense and real-world experience, though.

      an Ivy is a measure of family wealth, not individual intelligence. I know US TV has conditioned everyone to believe that they could totally get away with murder if they wanted to, but there’s a reason most people don’t test that belief. even the smartest person isn’t at their best when acting on impulsive decisions under pressure

      Ivy League means nothing about intelligence - or rather it just means he met the bar to attend post-secondary. Ivy League speaks more to one’s socio-economic position.

        Agree. But I say that’s a much better argument against this guy’s motive (and likelyhood of guilt) than making any kind intelligence argument.
