Knox Appeal

[econ21]

they already have another suspect in custody ...

Rudy Guede has been convicted for killing Meredith Kercher. He's finishing the third year of his 16 year sentence for it.

The case against Knox and Solliceto was that they participated jointly in the killing with Guede, which always sounded rather a little improbable to me.

The Daily Mail posted the story they'd prepared in full for the appeal rejection, presumably after mistaking the slander verdict for the murder judgement. Not just a template article, but complete with fabricated quotes and courtroom reaction:

Too funny

The case against Knox and Solliceto was that they participated jointly in the killing with Guede, which always sounded rather a little improbable to me.

Yes, but it was often said that Sollecito's DNA was found on Kercher's underwear. Would be reluctant to make assumptions myself without knowing exactly how such evidence was "mishandled" or "contaminated" to the point where it now seems to be deemed unusable.

[Samurai Waki]

The evidence is certainly muddled... genetic evidence makes not absolute evidence. Perhaps Sollecito and Kercher had a quicky...perhaps not... Guede was certainly an unsavory source of information, and perhaps he was jealous of Sollecito and Kercher? I could tell there was something very slimy about him from the beginning; and what about Amanda Knox? what is her psychological history? Was she ever questioned by Police? and if so, who was it? What is his background... this case was just way too fractured. The judge is going to have a hard time sleeping for a long time.

…and what about Amanda Knox? what is her psychological history? Was she ever questioned by Police? and if so, who was it?

Yes, she alleged that she was put under pressure [physically and psychologically] by the police when she initially said her employer was involved in the murder - the slander arose from that. She's already served time for that conviction.

Regarding DNA evidence, while it's perhaps not decisive, would be interested to know why Sollecito's DNA could no longer be used. It'll be months before the prosecution appeals, though.

Too funny

THe best bit about it was the photo they'd miscaptioned so instead of 'Media Scrum' it read 'Media Scum.'

Wow I'm glad you're not a judge.

So am I

[CrossLOPER]

Of course we can, you can sense it when something isn't quite right just like know when someone is eying you. Judges must ignore that of course but that chick's a psycho

Can you sense what I feel about this statement you made?

[Fragony]

Can you sense what I feel about this statement you made?

Since it's morning in Russia as I type this I'm pretty sure how you feel, both of ya

Why? If it's really as infallible as you claim, why would judges have to ignore this? But maybe it isn't as infallible as you think it is. Then your statement makes sense. Well, the latter part of it.

[Ja'chyra]

I'm glad she got off, if she's innocent, if it turns out she's guilty I would expect the US to hand her right back for some good old Cell Block H action.

Do I know if she's guilty? Not a clue.

YOU KNOW ABOUT ALEX??

[Fragony]

YOU KNOW ABOUT ALEX??

He didn't mention me??

[Adrian II]

He didn't mention me??

Last time I spoke to Alex he didn't mention CrossLOPER either. Are you guys cheating on me?

AII

Advanced detection skills continued.

"We were able to establish guilt," said Edgardo Giobbi, the lead investigator, "by closely observing the suspect's psychological and behavioural reaction during the interrogation. We don't need to rely on other kinds of investigation." Giobbi said that his suspicions were first raised just hours after the murder, at the crime scene, when he watched Knox execute a provocative swivel of her hips as she put on a pair of shoe covers.

Note #1: if intent on escaping murder charge, awkward movement in presence of police a must at all times.

[Ja'chyra]

Oh well, in that case burn the witch.

I hope you're paying attention Fragony.
