Well not exactly. His testimony is mostly gibberish at least by the translation.
MaCh:
It emerged that normally Sollecito kept his cellphones, and also Amanda Knox, they kept their cellphones on until a late hour, evening, [sic] there is no telephone traffic from 20:40 hours. A thing of this …
MC:
But did this emerge from the declarations or did it emerge from the analysis of the [phone] records in the preceding days?
MaCh:
It emerged from the analysis of the [phone] records in the preceding days.
GCM:
Excuse me. Let me understand. In other words you say: the cellphone was switched off and there was no telephone traffic, these are two different things.
MaCh:
I’m saying, Mr President. Two things. The first, normally Sollecito’s telephone and the telephone of Amanda, were switched on until the late hours. The fatal evening, they were switched off from 20:42 hours until … one [of the phones] from 20:42 onwards and the other from about 20:50 onwards. One. Two, the traffic …
GCM:
Before going on to “Two”, excuse me: “normally” – what does that mean? You had …
MaCh:
We had done a comparative analysis of the telephone traffic of that evening with the telephone traffic of the preceding evenings. Shall we say the habits ...
GCM:
And so the “normally” emerges from this?
MC:
How many evenings? If you recall, or not?
MaCh:
Months, no … honestly, I don’t remember how many [evenings], but months.
MC:
He clearly doesn't have the information of when the phones were turned off only an analysis of traffic (use).
If he had the information it wouldn't be reported as
about 8:50. Then he goes on to say how they analyzed their usage previously NOT when the phones were turned on or off. He also says that he analyzed their use for MONTHS but of course this was just a mistake.
Now for those that haven't paid a hoot CHECK THIS OUT from the same transcript:
GB:
Attorney Giulia Bongiorno. You pointed out that among the particularly significant elements, especially at the beginning, against Sollecito, there was that analysis of the [phone] records from which emerged, you said, an anomaly, because you had made comparisons, a new fact came out; that is to say this turning on and switching off in an anomalous manner with respect to the preceding [phone] records. Excuse me, but how does one establish, on the basis of [phone] records, when a cellphone is switched on an switched off?MaCh:
Is this a technical question, or else ...?
GB:
No, it is a question that is based on the fact that you defined as anomalous a thing that, as you know, is not revealed by the cellphones, is not revealed by the [phone] records.MaCh:
Why not?
GB:
Because from the [phone] records it does not appear when someone switches on and switches off a cellphone, but, if anything, the incoming and outgoing calls are shown.MaCh:
Absolutely, yes. However, from the telephone records, as will be explained by anyone who is more technically knowledgeable than me, but I believe I can state this thing anyway, even if I am not a technician in this subject: that one may absolutely reconstruct the telephone habits of a person. And we saw that that evening, unlike what had not happened [sic], as I stated earlier, Sollecito’s cellphone did not show/have the activity it normally had. And furthermore, there is another passage [sic], that the phone call of 23:00 hours, which Sollecito affirmed he had received, was not there.
GB:
So, try and follow my question. You referred, in the course of the [witness] examination, to an anomaly linked to the switching on and off: we will see this in the transcription, and you said that this was an anomaly. So forget, for now, how many phone calls I receive and how many I don’t receive, if the telephone is switched off or on, you said you can tell this from the [phone] records.MaCh:
We can tell/deduce this when …
GB:
Excuse me. Let me finish the question. And you managed to say that this is an extremely serious, anomalous, element, against Raffaele Sollecito.
MaCh:
I said only that there was an anomaly.
Oopsie - He only said there was an anomaly. He doesn't refer to records of the phones being turned off or on. He deduced from past use that the phones had been turned off but he has only deductive reasoning.
From the great Massei:
Given the point, in accordance with Chief Inspector Latella’s proposition with regard to the fact that the phone record printouts do not give information as to whether a mobile phone is switched on or turned off, the Consultant recounted the survey, carried out using his own technical equipment inside Sollecito’s apartment at Corso Garibaldi 30, for the purpose of recording the level of reception of the radio-
321
electric signals transmitted by Vodafone’s base transceiver stations operating in the area.
If you can't admit you were and are wrong about the phones being known to have been turned off at any time with the exception of Amanda's which is known BECAUSE SHE TOLD THEM she turned off her phone at some time after Patrick had texted, then you are further back than the back of the room.
