The lawyer stated he saw Luka's face in person when Luka was sitting in his office.
I'm going with real.
Full disclosure, I was so alarmed when I found the emails on SCRIBD, hours before the article was even published, that I phone Mr Salta to ask if he knew those emails had been posted on a journalist's SCRIBD account. I thought an employee had breached trust and posted them. Mr Salta asked me where I'd seen them, and when I told him, he replied they were for a Business Insider article. He was surprised I'd found them so rapidly but I explained I was researching for an article and was doing detailed searches every few hours.
He explained that he that he released them to present another side of Luka and when I brought up attorney/client privilege, he said Luka never retained his services after the initial consultation.
It still seems wrong to me but I'm sure, as a lawyer, that Mr Salta dotted all his i's and crossed his t's.
I don't think Luka made Manny up. Luka opened himself up to that kind of horrific abuse by advertising, many times, and on the sleaziest websites, that he was into all of that. Maybe it went too far even for him?
Additionally, there's allegedly another set of hands in the Python video and they're not Magnotta's whose hands were effeminate and cared for. I saw a photo-still where there were clearly 3 hands but I don't have the stomach to look at that video even after a decade of documenting war atrocities.
The vacuum cleaner video was horrific. The murder video was traumatic. I refuse to watch the drowning and the python video.
I think there are a lot of unanswered questions like how did a 65 kg young man, who was squeamish at the sight of a little blood in a hickey, methodically and savagely dismember a larger man, drag him to the bathtub, drain/wash him off, and get him back on the bed all while filming it?
I think that photo is real too.
