He did post his cite. It was the case of Patrick Latko. But of course it DOESN'T really apply. Patrick Latko was convicted on significant circumstantial evidence including a rocky relationship with one of the victims. One of the victims actually called 911 and identified the killer on the call. They also found the broken handle of the knife used in the storage facility. Also, Latko was seen in a video 37 minutes after the 911 call going into a storage facility wearing one set of clothes and coming out wearing another set. Also Latko had also disposed of the floor mats of the borrowed car he drove that night. The defense argued that they couldn't find any blood on his shoes and there would have been blood given that Latko murdered two people that night. But there is no proof that the shoes he was wearing when arrested were the shoes he wore that night.
Is there anything in this cite which suggests that someone managed to clean two out of three DNA signatures from the scene, effectively framing that third person with the DNA and handprint evidence which remained?
ETA - I need to apologize to Vibeo. I erred in saying that Machiavelli once said that Amanda and her mother talked to each other in "mafia code".
What Machiavelli actually posted was that the "I was there" statement was uttered, "mafia style" to communicate the opposite meaning.
Machiavelli to my knowledge only claimed "mafia code" once in relation to all this. That reference was to explain why all of Seattle... repeat ALL OF SEATTLE managed to be silent about Amanda Knox's participation in an April Fools' prank of a pretend-break-in at a friend's place. The perpetrators of the prank quickly 'fessed up, and the guy who it was done too was not amused.
But Machiavelli invoked the mafia code of Omertà to explain why all of Seattle remained quiet about this crime spree Knox participated in, prior to going to Perugia.
Many apologies to Vibeo for misleading him/her.
