General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Amanda Knox should surrender to Italian authorities, The EVIDENCE Is Clear Enough- SHE DID IT. [View all]corpus_vile
(29 posts)Gonna list them.
1) She was coerced.
No she wasn't her questioning took an hour and 15 minutes roughly and she proactively asked for a pen & paper and wrote out a five page statement.
2) A Satanic element was mooted.
No it wasn't and no mention of anything Satanic is made by the prosecutors in the court transcripts.
3) She was judged by her behaviour looks & nationality.
No, she was judges on the 10,000 pages of hard & circumstantial evidence against her and both other defendants were Italian citizens.
4) Sollecito tried to break down the door
No he didn't and he and Knox were in another room when the door was broken down.
Not only that but Knox lied that Meredith always locked her door which was sharply objected to by Filomena Romanelli
5) The "children" ran from the house screaming.
Knox was 10 years of age? Romanelli was 27 at the time.
6) Foxy Knoxy
Knox had referred to herself in such a manner, putting her interests as "men" on her myspace page, so I doubt if her moniker was in regards to her soccer skillz.
7) The footprints were solely Guede's
Pure bs Sollecito's footprint on the bathmat was proven to have been his.
8) Guede was a petty thief.
Guede had no prior criminal record.
9) Demonic influence mooted
See lie 2)
10)Prosecution's failure to establish motive
Not required in a court of law
11 Prosecution would never have been able to have convict K & S all by themselves.
See lie 3)
12) Knox didn't flush the toilet as she was concerned about water conservation.
Lmao. Seems to be the only article that mentions this.
13) Meredith's friends fled the country
No they didn't as they were required to stay for questioning, just like Knox was.
14) Knox refused to leave
Her flatmates testified to hearing her on the phone with her mother & stepfather that no, she couldn't make that flight out to Seattle as the cops were "making" her stay.
15) Knox wanted to help solve the murder.
Knox is nancy Drew, or that old lady from Murder She Wrote?
16) Mignini was a central figure in the Monster of Florence serial murder case.
No, he wasn't even involved in that investigation and had merely investigated one death in Perugia that of Dr Francesco Narducci- whose death the Florence cops suspected was connected to the MOF case. Mignini never investigated the MOF case itself.
17) Mignini proposed that a Satanic cult was behind Narducci's death.
No he didn't, an occult link was suggested (not by Mignini) re the MOF murders and was suggested by three independent sources as far back as 1985.
Mignini felt that Narducci had been murdered and that Narducci's dad who was a freemason was somehow involved in the cover up of his death, but not his death itself.
18) Mignini accused a hostile journalist of Satanism
no he accused him of evidence tampering in the case and said journalist is up in court this coming June to face said charges.
19) An officer stated that Knox "smelled like sex"
no, he said she smelled strongly of B.O.
20) Sollecito asked for and was denied a lawyer.
Lol, utter bs.
21) Knox's interrogation lasted hours
See lie 1)
22) The police first mentioned Lumumba
Not according to Knox in page 84 of her book, in which she claims she proactively mentioned Lumumba to the interpreter. (Amanda Knox, Waiting to be Extradited oops I mean Heard)
23) Knox was hit
No she wasn't. Her own lawyer claims she "was pressured but not hit, he hasn't pressed any charges or launched any investigation against the cops and even Hellman who overturned her conviction upheld her slander charges.
24) Knox signed a confession after breaking down in tears.
Knox proactively asked for a pen & p\per, wrote out a five page statement in which she still blamed Lumumba and then left him to rot in prison for two weeks. Not too cool Amanda.
25) Guede broke into a nursery school.
no he trespassed into a nursery school, no break in occurred.
26) The detectives selected the kitchen knife at random.
No they selected the one with the strong smell of bleach that looked like it had been cleaned thoroughly, as in the one which yielded both the victim's and suspect's dna on the blade and handle.
27) Guede got a rteduction in sentencing for fingering Knox & Sollecito
No it was because he opted for a fast track trial, which Knox and Sollecito also could have availed of.
That is an utterly shameful and truly disgusting excuse for objective journalism.
