You are rather jumping from point to point. But I think that the point about Pisa is that he was merely expressing out loud in the film what many of us felt at the time (with of course the sense of sadness and shock at the poor student's murder) : that it was an extraordinary story: that a young pretty American student should decide to murder an English girl with two men, and to frame a perfectly innocent man. Of course the interest in Knox was great then. I remember thinking how wretched the girl was, and being a little disconcerted a bit later when the evidence did not seem quite so watertight - just a couple of dubious bits of physical evidence. However, I was somewhat sceptical of people willing to defend her on this board, and rather appreciating the efforts of a poster called Fiona who seemed sensible and logical. But as the case, and these threads, wore on, I had to admit I could not, in all honesty cling to the belief that they were guilty. I think the problem is that many pro guilters are still in the mindset that many people were in when Pisa and others were making his reports, and though, like onion rings, the evidence has been steadily unpeeled, I think that pro guiltlers are still thinking in Nick Pisa ways. That's why he is so devastating in this film : because he really shows that the emporer really has no clothes.
