He worked at Big Al's Pizza - prove he didn't - Read his testimony about the part time jobs he had after the restaurant closed in Milan.
I don't have to prove he didn't. Employment is not the default position here. If he had a job, he would have been referred to as "Rudy Guede, who worked as a waiter at Big Al's Pizza", rather than "Rudy Guede, a local drifter and drug dealer". BTW, I don't use the latter terms, because I don't think they are fair descriptions based on what we know. But if he had any kind of regular job, we would know about it. Would you prefer we call him a "freelancer"? I'm not saying he never worked, just that there is no evidence of any steady income at the time of the murder, and there is evidence of him stealing things.
Yes he was trespassing and had put a knife in his bag for protection because he DIDN'T carry weapons. Milan is way tougher than Perugia. What happened to the knife at CT's.
You don't like people making judgments about Rudy without firm evidence. Yet you have no firm evidence to say he DIDN'T carry weapons. I think that a person who is inside a building where they don't belong, and chooses to take a knife and put it in his backpack, likely plans to take it with them. We don't know exactly what for, but to me this is similar to finding him in possession of stolen property from the law office. He might have a story that gives a more innocent interpretation of his actions, but I don't believe his story.
I didn't see you complaining when PGP Wiki is used. Why do you think they didn't charge him? Why would they make the effort to say he bought or received them knowing they were hot?
I don't complain or comment about everything anyone ever says, and I don't get the relevance. The PGP wiki has a lot of twisted interpretations of the evidence, so I don't consider it a reliable source.
Yes I think he made a policy of not being armed in public as it is a more serious crime than say trespassing.
I don't think we know what policy he had. I don't know what he did on an average Wednesday walking down the street. I think it is more likely he would arm himself with a knife if he was planning a burglary, in case he is discovered and needs to use it to help him escape.
This is so much like the PGP list of reasons the acquittal is a travesty. This is an example of three compatibles = a match. He was caught with stolen loot while trespassing. That's it. No history of violence or anything except lying about going to school.
It really isn't anything like the PGP list. They take things like buying underwear, doing yoga, or smoking a joint, and decide that means AK murdered someone. All I am saying is, based on what we have seen, I think it is likely Rudy was committing burglaries, and carrying a knife when he did so. I am not saying it because he likes to eat kabobs, or because he smokes pot.
As an additional example, the PGP claim Amanda was violent, yet there is not a shred of evidence she ever raised a hand to anyone. That is much more flimsy than saying Rudy was a burglar, and carried a knife, at least sometimes.
Might not succeed? The evidence we have indicates he didn't carry a knife or he wouldn't have borrowed the one at the nursery.
I think you are making claims that are not backed by the evidence we have. We don't know for sure if he carried knives around, or not. He didn't have one of his own when he entered the nursery school, so he decided to take one. We know that much.
I'm no fan of Rudi but I'm trying to brand him properly. I think he was sleezy and I do think he would steal when convenient. As I've said I want the same standards used. Curatolo was worthless. Quintavalle was worthless. Nara was idiotic.
CT's story would be laughed out of here if it went against the kids. Admit it.
Remember the story he talked with Nappy the night of the break in?
I think if there was a Perugia resident who said that he found Amanda Knox in his home in the middle of the night, and she brandished a knife at him, that story would be taken seriously. These stories about Rudy are simply NOT the same types of stories as the ones about Amanda.
The Nappy story was not told by me. I don't really care that much about the CT story, and I don't think this speculation about Rudy really matters much, since we know he killed Meredith, even if he was a choir boy before that.
Do you believe Rudi was an informant? Do you believe the police knew his MO?
I don't know the answer to either of those questions. My inclination at the moment would be to answer "no" to both. I don't think we have any evidence to prove either of those charges.
The two claims about that have generally been put forth by people who used to be in law enforcement in the United States. They think, based on their experience, that local law enforcement was aware of Rudy's activities, and they find it very odd that he was not arrested. So they put two and two together, and they answer is that the police must have been aware, and they did not arrest him because he was working for or with them.
I don't have that experience, and to me, it seems more likely that Rudy was just one of a bunch of young people running around Perugia, and the cops had bigger fish to fry. Or maybe they just don't bother much with petty crime. I know where I live, someone can break the window of your car, steal a bunch of stuff, leave a screwdriver on the seat of your car, and the cops won't even come out to write a report. And I don't live in Italy, so it might be they were willing to give Rudy the benefit of the doubt. I also don't accept the idea that if Rudy had been arrested for the law office burglary, for example, Meredith would not have been killed. He likely would not have spent much, if any, time in jail, and would have been free, awaiting trial.
The informant thing could be true, I don't know, but I don't see any firm evidence of it.
