Gibbs is with NCIS. It wasn't a statement rather testimony. I said statement to see if you'd pick up on it.
If he didn't make the testimony claim would you still argue he called them both in, which as we know didn't happen.
You believe whatever helps your PI POV. Diaz, CT, Giobbi and the rest.
Remember when it was in vogue on the PI side to say the PLE recognized RG's MO and one of the pieces was that CT talked with Nappy the night of his home invasion because of how Nina wrote it up? Well she interviewed much later for the murder case. I always said it made no sense that the head of the Flying Squad would be taking mundane police reports and guess what?
Giobbi's puffery works for you so you buy it, if it didn't you wouldn't.
Vixen's text message scenario doesn't work for you so throw it out. John Kercher's account doesn't work and you throw it out even though the british girls back him up.
But Giobbi, ah Giobbi a total lying pig but on this you believe him.
As Katy_dd p[ointed out tehre were clear reasons they called in Raf and as she said they were done with Shaky
Let's recap this. By Nov 5th clearly Amanda & Raffaele & Lumumba were under suspicion, and the authorities were under extreme pressure to close the case, which is why additional police assets were brought in from Rome.
Amanda was under suspicion early on for a variety of reasons, but on Nov 5th they still didn't have a shred of evidence to implicate her, other than they had found 5 African hairs in Meredith's bedroom, and Amanda worked for an African man, Lumumba.
Raffaele was under suspicion due to his alibi for Amanda. Unfortunately, on Nov 5th Raffaele had worn shoes to the station on that eventful night which had sole patterns very similar to Guede's shoes that had left bloody footprints at the scene - bad luck wearing those shoes.
Raffaele had also carried a pen-knife to the station that was of the type that had inflicted Meredith's fatal wounds, which was both bad luck and stupidity.
Mignini's arrest warrant of Nov 6th mentioned Raffaele's shoes and knife (document previously posted here), and while those items would eventually be found to not be involved in the murder, they were something, but they only involved Raffaele and NOT Amanda.
The cops knew Amanda's mom was arriving on the morning of Nov 6th, and the police were positive that Amanda & Raffaele & Lumumba were involved, but other than Raffaele's shoes and knife, the police had nada against Amanda, except for her associations with Raffaele and Lumumba.
If Amanda's mom arrived and took her under her wing before the police forced a confession out of Amanda, would the police suspicions and Raffael's shoes and the African hairs (thought to be Lumumba's) be enough to keep Amanda from legally leaving Italy?
The police may have been able to stop Amanda from leaving Italy on Nov 6th, but once mom arrived, squeezing a confession from Amanda with an attorney present would be highly problematic, and at that point they had zero credible evidence against her.
If mom arrived without a confession from Amanda, I don't pretend to know whether the police could have legally forced Amanda to remain in Italy until the forensics was returned and hopefully (from their perspective) implicated Amanda, which (again hopefully) in a few days would have given the police grounds to arrest Amanda.
You keep denying what was clearly the situation on Nov 5th. Likely, because you're stubborn and you don't want to concede a point, even though you do feel that Amanda & Raffaele were railroaded and innocent. I can understand being stubborn and arguing a point - been there, done that, myself.
Nevertheless, on Nov 5th it must be conceded by even you that the police had to be worried that their prime suspect was in danger of flying home with her mom on Nov 6th, which would have created a messy extradition battle if that were allowed to happen, assuming any forensics later implicated Amanda, and at that point I feel the police were very confidant that the forensics would indeed eventually support their suspicions and directly implicate Amanda.
To keep Amanda in Italy pending the forensics results, the cleanest solution from the police perspective would be to force a confession from Amanda before her mom arrived to complicate matters. They needed it, and they got it (more or less).
As Hellmann pointed out, Amanda never confessed to murdering Meredith Kercher, but what they (illegally) got that night was enough to convince a judge to incarcerate Amanda pending trial, so problem solved.
