The Post spoke with the murder suspect's attorney.
Anthony Comello displays writing on his hand that included pro-President Trump slogans during his extradition hearing in Toms River, N.J., on March 18.
That Comello was sporting a “Q” on his hand in court, though, wasn’t an ironic statement or a wink at the broader conspiracy theory. In a phone call with The Washington Post on Thursday, his attorney, Robert Gottlieb, argued that the QAnon theory was central to the incident on Staten Island. After Comello was arrested, the government seized his computer, and Gottlieb indicated that he hadn’t seen the specific online material Comello had reviewed. But he did indicate that Comello participated in the QAnon world, either passively or actively, a fact he learned from speaking to Comello’s family and friends.
“It has a real impact on the most vulnerable people, who, if touched and affected by the hate, can do things which, if they were not suffering from the mental illness, they would have never done,” Gottlieb added.
