That kid would have gotten a million death threats and his house maybe burned down if in the real world if he came out with evidence to try and discredit someone’s favorite dead celebrity.

      While we know the murder happened, the only evidence of any wrong doing in the real world were the lyrics of the songs in letters to Coco. Which may have had the date written on them.

      Honestly, it would be a pretty pathetic amount of evidence in the real world and would drag on for decades with people demanding tests of the letters to try and find out their creation dates and authenticity, and arguing that him having drafts of partners songs didn’t change anything.

    Don’t forget the less violent folks who find a way to “separate the art from the artist” and continue keeping memories of the villain alive through his music regardless of how much of a villain he was.
