And more... There is something going on with the old system's quest for truth and a deep distrust of the underworld. They believe in a religion that to me is filled with smoke and mirrors. Also, it all is like a opera plot, everything. It's about the story, the narrative, the tale in the tradition of old Rome.
Inexplicable. But what is more amazing is that there is no outrage by the people.
This is exactly Luca Cheli's point when he critiques Judge Nencini's motivations report.
Chelli says that at one point, Nencini poses three rhetorical questions, the answer to which (as Nencini provides) points to the irresistable inference that Knox and Sollecito are guilty.
The third question is: What was the aim of the clean-up.
So, with no evidence that a clean-up took place, esp. one at the molecular level meant to mask two of three forensic signatures, Nencini just assumes it and builds nonsense upon nonsense by jumping to the "important" question - what was its aim?
Cheli implies that Nencini is writing more of a film review, than a forensic reason why two people are guilty.
He says that the clean-up was intended to be done until....
Cheli said:
the only possible aim of the cleanup and of the overall alteration of the crime scene (including the faked burglary) was that of “preventing that the murder were discovered before its authors had had the possibility of organizing their fuoriuscita dalla scena“. (page 85)
That is an expression, apparently, usually used about actors who are preparing to leave the stage.
However, in Nencini's haste to dramatize this, so as to pique the cinematice interest of his reader, Nencini fails to deliver on this. He just asserts it as a dramatic theme, then drops it.
Cheli said:
So I wondered if Nencini perhaps implied that Knox and Sollecito wanted to flee, to perhaps even leave the country and were just prevented from doing so by what Nencini, later in the ruling, seems to consider an early discovery of the corpse due to the unforeseen arrival of the Postal Police. Or maybe he is simply implying that they just wanted to leave for Gubbio and let others discover the body.
However in both cases calling Romanelli and alerting her about the burglary and that something could have happened to Meredith (albeit not a murder) well before the arrival of the Postal Police belies such an interpretation, as we will repeat when dealing with the discovery of the murder.
In the end I am left wondering what Nencini really meant with those three words, whether something “remained in the pen” or if it is just a dead end in a ruling written by multiple authors lacking coordination.
Or maybe Nencini just wanted to dust off his chops as a drama critic, and just forgot he's supposed to, as a convincing judge, tie in all this into some unifying theme which describes, beyond a reasonable doubt, why two people should spend a quarter century in jail.
Once the ISC rules, one way or another, Nencini will simply be forgotten. This will be for two reasons:
1) for innocenters, the report is simply inane. Vibio, who reads Italian, simply refuses to translate the part of Nencini's report where he says that two of the four specks of Y-genetic material belong to women. My bet is that Vibio just wants to sting this out until Vibio is forgotten.
2) It also explains why guilters on the other sites continue with their flights of fancy, and don't use ANYTHING from Nencnini. Andrea Vogt and Machiavelli still, in essence, argue the case Mignini brought to Massei's court, and even Massei debunked major portions of Mignini's theories.
