The US Department of State, granted a surprise contact with a volunteer supporter of AK and RS's innocence. She was delivering a petition from these volunteers....

In 2011, another group of concerned citizens from Washington State told President Obama and Congress that Amanda Knox’s rights, guaranteed by the Italian Constitution, had not been honored. That same year Italian Parliamentary Members asked for an investigation of the Perugian judicial system on behalf of Sollecito and Knox. Now this international voice of the people is asking the United States Department of State, the Italian Ministry of Justice and the United Kingdom’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office to review the dossier before the Italian Supreme Court.

(Just this week) The Deputy to the Ambassador said she was aware of Knox’s dilemma and would pass on the petition to Kerry and Rapp.

So she went in to deliver a petition and ended up with an audience with a deputy ambassador and were told that State is aware of the situation? That's amazing, actually.

I believe that degree of acknowledgement - an audience with a deputy ambassador - from State is encouraging. I would not expect them to say anything substantive or diplomatically awkward, so "awareness" is positive.

What would be great would be if those State employees went home, kicked off their shoes, fired up their iPads and read the ground report article - currently as the only entity covering this.

They'd see the "interesting" comments from the pro-guilt lobby.... and come away with a "WTF!? Who are these people?"

I'm told that the Perugian case has generated exaggerated numbers of comments wherever it appears - and I'm not sure that the pro-guilters who flood those comments sections appreciate fully:

1) how nutty they look
2) how much their clicks/comments draw attention to the main article that would not otherwise be there, regardless of their views.​

It's good that people in the Department of State in the US see this first hand, if they haven't already.

And judging from some of the Italian TV coverage recently, commentators there seem not very shy in taking on the "party of the PMs." One guy in one of the videos blew kisses at the prosecutors, and said he was scared that they were watching him ridicule them.

When the State-folk kick off their shoes and fire-up their iPads, they'll see the reality of on-line bullying as some have experienced it for years....
 
Author Douglas Preston spoke about his brief contact with "madman" Giulano Mignini.

It covers Mignini's investigation of the Monster of Florence case. A reminder - George Clooney has bought the rights to Preston's book, and will play Preston in an upcoming film.

A google translation of Lalli on gastric emptying,

In ... In the present case, we had a gastric contents which had a content ... which was partially digested in the stomach, slightly recognizable all'apprezzabilità of subscribed, but not resulted progressed into the duodenum so ... if not in a very very marginal. Then, he gave the idea, in this ... You had the idea in this, at this stage of a death occurring in a period between 2 and 4 hours after the last meal, as the data hitherto available , indicated a meal finished, more or less, at around eight to twenty bad ... INT:

clearly shows the enduring confusion.
He begins by saying stomach emptying had not begun, but then gives a TOD suggestion based on completion of emptying. This 2 to 4 hours comes up all the time, but is always referring to completion, not commencement in the studies.
I fail to see why this is not hammered by the defence.

I have posted before a link to a study which stops two hours after the test meal. This procedure would be useless if a greater than two hours commencement could be expected in a normal subject, so in itself gives a strong indication of a tod within two hours of eating, or 9 30 at the latest.

It seems forever since that film was planned/talked about. Have to wonder if Clooney will go ahead now given he has a home on Lago di Como. Not too far from Bergamo, Mignini's hometown!

Is that the next installment of the long running ‘ Movie will save Amanda :drool: ‘ saga.
What happened to the Winterbottom? movie. Didn’t that do the trick. Is it out yet?
This used to be Kaosium’s area of expertise – I’d like to hear his opinion but apparently he has gone off videos.

BTW How are we doing on the alibi section in RS’s appeal doc. Was he with AK on the night of Nov 1st or what?

You think he will make this Clooney guy an offer he can’t refuse.
Is there any connection with the recent plane crash of another Hollywood actor – was he perhaps contemplating an ‘Amanda’ movie :eek:

The Winterbottom film took forever. It was shown last September in Toronto and in October in London. It will be in release in April 2015. Not sure how long it will last in theatres.
 
The nuisance of "Harry Rag"

The latest nonsense from the obsessed and disturbed one over at PMF:

"There is no evidence that Knox used the kitchen knife for innocent reasons, but there is plenty of evidence that Knox was involved in Meredith's murder. There is no evidence that the knife was contaminated. You have to place the knife into the wider context of the other evidence. Judge Massei and Judge Nencini both accepted that the knife was the murder weapon and believe that Knox stabbed Meredith with it. The case has never hinged on the knife evidence and the evidentiary phase of the legal proceedings is over."

My current favorite, though, is "Thoughtful", who fully understands that lab contamination occurs with some frequency (and, I assume that she understands that this happens with extra frequency when the lab is poorly run), but cannot for the life of her bring herself to fathom how the DNA of the actual crime victim can be the contaminant.

Hint: the victim's DNA was perhaps the most intensely analyzed in the history of this lab and constituted a large percentage of the samples studied prior to the knife finding. Carryover contamination is, by definition, a profile from a prior run.

Duh.

Nonsense? The evidence quite clearly demonstrates that the knife was clean of all contamination. How many times does Stefanony have to write "Too Low" to make this clear?

I believe thoughtful is the math prof Leila schnieps, forgive the misspelling.

My understanding is that her daughter, and sometimes cowriter, was dating a guy who was friends with Rudy guede.

If so, then lessening guede's guilt by blaming others, may be more an expression of maternal instinct, then the product of 'thoughtful' analysis.

Thoughtful May be too freaked out by her daughters proximity to Rudy socially, to be thinking straight.
