Tense activity in the courtroom now
I have just learned that Miss Knox"s mobile phone was turned off,as was
her boyfriends mobile,for 10 hours around the time of the murder.
Apparently this was unprecedented during her stay in Italy.
Did she at least know something was about to happen to Meredith Kercher

Not Guilty then!!!

Sorry - my first two paragraphs were @ teddy.

[craft1948]

Now that Knox has been 'proved innocent', and the Italian court accepted that Guede did not slit Meredith's throat, will they now have to start looking for the murderer all over again?

I meant it as a compliment, JJ, in response to Teddy's question.

The Italian authorities have left it too late.

Sadly, the original case was handled by Gulio Mignini who, instead of conducting a logical investigation, dreamed up some hair brained story about a satanic sex ritual ...

... for which there was no forensic evidence, no witness evidence, no statement evidence ... no evidence of any sort at all. It was all a figment of his imagination.

And now ... it's all too late.

Curiously, on his previous assignment (the one for which he was convicted of fabricating false evidence), Mignini had wrongly prosecuted 40 (!) innocent people, claiming that they had been involved in ... yes, you guessed it ...

... a "satanic sex ritual."

[joggerjayne]

LOL ... thanks, DTC.

[DTCwordfan]

Why doesn't Mignini go after Berlusconi's little bonking ring - there must be at least 40 people in that and probably it could be classified as ... a "satanic sex ritual."

Perugia is only some 170kms from Roma.......

[joggerjayne]

I'd like to visit Perugia, to see what it's like.

Although I might wait until Gulio Mignini has retired or gone to prison.

Amanda Knox was yesterday described in court as a ‘diabolical, Satanic, demonic she-devil’. The woman jailed for murdering British student Meredith Kercher was also said to have a ‘dirty’ soul. adding on one side she is 'angelic' but the other she is 'demonic'.She was a diabolical, Satanic, demonic she-devil. She was muddy on the outside and dirty on the inside. She has two souls, the clean one – you see her before you – and the other. Knox, 24, has been described as "diabolical," a "witch" and a "she-devil" during three days of a court hearing into an appeal against verdicts that found her and Sollecito guilty of murdering Meredith Kercher in 2007 during a sex game gone wrong. Lawyers for a civil plaintiff in the case — a man from Ivory Coast who Knox says is to blame for Kercher's murder — have described Knox as a "spell-casting witch" who devoted her life to sex, drugs, and alcohol.

She is as guilty as sin, and I am absolutely gobsmacked she has been released.

[Barmaid]

the "descriptions" were submissions and not evidence - merely the opinions of the prosecutors. The evidence is what the jury looked at to acquit.

[joggerjayne]

swilliams ...

"Amanda Knox was yesterday described in court ..."

By, funnily enough ... the Prosecution !!

The Prosecution did not speak very highly of the Defendant ??

Well, fancy that, LOL.

You can see the irony there, right?

[DTCwordfan]

SW - Think you ought to really read this thread and JJ's other thread on this topic before you let your opinions forth - haven't you heard of court rhetoric?? Are the prosecution going to sit there and meekly take their faults on the chin? I do not think so. JJ offers a well-reasoned case on the lack of evidence and the stitch up by a prosecutor who is under the microscope or a similar type of stitch-up - sounds like a nice man to have in any court system.....

[swilliams75]

Well flump me then DTcrossword fan. Why on earth did this whole case go to court? Why not just call in "JJ" and sort the whole sorry mess out, right from the start. Idiot...

[clokey]

seems some of our papers got it wrong, Mail, Sun and Guardian

[joggerjayne]

Golly, DTC ... you are being very nice about me tonight.

If I'm ever wrongly arrested in Italy, I might get you to come and speak on my behalf!

[DTCwordfan]

read the thread, SW - "typical?" Italian perversion of justice.......?

[craft1948]

everybody on this thread calls her jj.................

[jno]

what did the Sun and Guardian get wrong, clokey?

swilliams - I was about to say welcome to AnswerBank. But to see you refer to a member as idiot merely 20 minutes after joining the site does not bode well for you being here for any length of time.
