like light was the dumbest motherfucker on the planet

The point is more that he got too cocky. Like most actual serial killers, he got overconfident and started making mistakes because getting away with it was too easy at first. By the end he's basically getting off on the idea that he can be so sloppy and they still can't prove it's him.

Presumably the same thing would happen to anyone who felt arrogant enough to decide they were qualified to play judge, jury, and executioner for the world for long enough. Power corrupts, etc etc.

Hardly anybody gets a trial in the US, so all they'd have to do is convince a prosecutor it was you and you just won't tell them how you did it.

Well, for one thing, he would have been arrested in Japan, not the US.

And even in the US, if you were arrested and charged and the police were all like "He's guilty but we're not going to tell you how he did it", any good defense lawyer would have the case dismissed out of hand in about 20 minutes. And Light's not poor or "ethnic", so he'd probably have a good lawyer.

The real problem is that, in a scenario where you are apparently magically killing people from a distance, you'd never be arrested. You'd almost certainly get "disappeared" by one group or another trying to figure out how you did it. Which would likely involve a lot of torture - and probably some dissections, because they'd have no way of knowing if it was an innate ability of your own or something you were using as a tool. So you'd wind up wishing you'd just been arrested and left to rot.
