195. Hellman's ruling was anulled

Mon May 19, 2014, 11:17 PM

May 2014

So it doesn't really matter what he said. He also upheld Knox's callunnia charge, so if he's so correct, it must mean that Knox is indeed a liar.
Also the site you linked is a partisan shill site which seems to be up in arms over Nencini talking to reporters, yet has no problem with Hellman doing the same thing.

Guede chose a fast track trial because it was his choice to do so. Both Knox & Solelcito could have availed of the same option, only they chose to become meedia celebs instead.

It means that Hellman's ruling was annulled due to it haveing no basis in logic or reason, and due to basing his ruling after viewing only two of 36 samples of dna evidence on dispaly and disregarded the 10,000 pages of evidence against both defendants as well as due to it being full of "preposterous straw man sophistry". (Dr Galati appeal)
