Those were the safety charges to assure jail time in case the jury has reasonable doubt on the murder, after the backpack and all of its contents are thrown out as tainted evidence. Without these charges, Luigi’s chances of walking just increased significantly.
They know that this is an extremely weak case on the evidence, as well as a focus for jury nullification, and there is a much better than 50% chance that he walks, so they are going to pull a Casey Anthony, drag the case out for as long as possible, and keep him in jail the entire time, until a jury finally frees him. Casey Anthony served nearly 4 years before being freed, which is about what she would have served for Child Neglect, which is what she was probably guilty of.
This latest court appearance was his first in 5 months, in one of the most visible, important cases in America. They could definitely speed it up, but they are slow-walking it because they know that it is likely to be the only time that he serves.
