QAnon Conspiracy-Believing Mob Boss Killer's Confession to Police Ruled Admissible
Source: Rolling Stone
Anthony Comello, 25, the conspiracy theory believer accused of killing alleged Gambino family boss Francesco Frank Cali was in court on Thursday where a judge ruled his statements to police after the murder were admissible. Comellos attorney had argued the statements should be thrown out because of Comellos mental and physical state at the time of his confession.
Comello has given varying reasons for Calis murder, but eventually told his lawyer, Robert Gottlieb, that he was motivated to kill Cali because he believed the mob boss was part of the deep state and he wanted to eliminate him to help President Donald Trump. Comello says he is a believer in QAnon, a conspiracy theory that claims agents within the government are trying to oust Trump from office.

Keeping up with these loonies is a full-time job in itself.

The "Q defense" is cooked up to gin up sympathy. It's Staten Island and Gottlieb knows his jury pool.
