Irrelevant. Are you? Clearly not since you appear unable to spell it, explain it or even deploy it in a sentence appropriately.
That's how my cockney friend says it, and that's good enough for me.

Only someone with a massive chip on their shoulder would dedicate their time spouting blatant lies in an attempt to make themself feel better owing to what is obviously a MASSIVE inferiority complex. Your slurring a whole group of people with a disgusting untrue insult just to incite scorn and hatred amongst your ilk, 'to win the argument', is indicative of this syndrome.
The sad thing is, you probably have NO qualifications yourself, despite your desperate attempts to portray yourself as being so intellectually superior to everybody else, and a horrid sexist **** belief that no female could possibly know better than you.
For you to claim a fully qualified chartered acccountant has behaved improperly when they have not indicates a consumation of hatred towards anyone with a differing opinion to yourself. Envy, hate and bitterness are never attractive qualities and attacking someone on a personal ad hominem basis just because they have a different opinion from you is contemptible.
You recently attacked a whole group of people (a heterogenous cross section of the population) of having pathological tendencies just because they have read the court records and have concluded the kids are likely guilty. This suggests to me a latent tendency in the more rabid PIP of deeply pathological issues themself. No doubt, some are ex-convicts who've had run-ins with the police or prison officers and therefore harbour a deep fear and hatred of anyone they perceive to be 'authority'. This tendency is manifested in over the top streams of hysterical invective towards anyone who upholds decent values and a civilised society. Such individuals will slavishly claim obvious killers (such as Steven Avery et al and the kids) are just poor picked upon individuals, persecuted by bully boy cops. Some will have deeply disturbing issues which manifests themselves in outpourings of vile anonymous postings, designed to degrade others who disagree with them.
That's how my cockney friend says it, and that's good enough for me.
Thank you for your transparency. Whatever happened on wikipedia, you can understand the need of the pro-justice for Meredith Kercher advocates to set up a safe, non-toxic environment which is objective and concentrates on actual court documents and on the real evidence, and not seek to suppress it, as many pro-Amanda and Raff devotees do.
That's how my cockney friend says it, and that's good enough for me.
Hahahahahahaha! Brilliant! And so deeply embarrassing!
Let me give you some advice: don't go spouting fantasy educational achievements and qualifications on this thread as some sort of attempt at intellectual oneupmanship, and then you won't run the risk of having them exposed as confabulations and inflations.
What with this and the twin embarrassment of the colossal ineptitude and "wrong-on-every-possible-level"-ness of your risible "arguments" about ballistics and the physics of motion, it's been quite some week hasn't it?! Time to take stock, perhaps? Kimo sabi?![]()

"That's good enough for me": the mantra of the sloppy-researching and "take it at face value" attitude of the pro-guilt commentator........
Your anonymous cockney friend is an authority on linguistics? Do you even know where the term originates?
- from googleNoting that tonto in Spanish means “stupid” or “crazy,” some people have pointed out that kemosabe sounds a lot like the Spanish phrase quien no sabe, “he who doesn't understand.” (In Spanish-language versions of The Lone Ranger, Tonto is called Toro, Spanish for bull.)
Hahaha! Again, lovely stuff! You obviously didn't read the whole of Bill's post, did you? Cherrypicking is a particularly intellectually dishonest form of argument, dontchaknow?
There is nothing fake about it. It is the best collection of court documents and records from the case in existence. The other side <fx crucifix and garlic> are quite happy to filch the translations meticulously undertaken by the dedicated volunteers. The site was set up in that format due to Friends of Amanda Knox hijacking the wikipedia page and deliberately changing and distorting any facts that are incriminating of their heroes.
The summaries having been written by individuals who are determined to find justice for the family of Meredith Kercher and present the unadulterated truth of the matter, inevitably are going to reflect the opinion of the writer. However, all of the original documents referred to in the summaries are cross-referenced in the supporting footnotes.
It has had a massive take up rate on the internet with over 100K views per diem at key moments in the case. It is widely used as a first-class reference point for journalists and lawyers researching the case.
What it is NOT, is an 'opinion forum'. That is the function of PMF and TJMK. Sadly, it has had to be safeguarded from the hooligans who egregiously have 'edited' wikipedia to present their heroes in a good light.

Vixen,
When you say "Friends of Amanda" hijacked the wikipedia page, can you elaborate?
Because IIRC, it was the PGP who, in all their mentally ill glory, tried to hijack the wikipedia page. And then the individuals fighting against injustice and the lies and misinformation campaign of the PGP went to correct the lies and misinformation on the wikipedia page.
There was a back and forth, and then Jimbo Wales got involved (wikipedia founder), and unequivocally found that the PGP, being incredibly unstable, were trying to alter and distort the facts of the case. So he locked in its current neutral state so the PGP could not use the real wikipedia site to further their lies and propaganda.
This is why you guys had to create a separate wikipedia page, because you got locked out of the real wikipedia.
Related question: from your fake wiki page -- can you please show me where there are links to all of the scientific articles related to the forensics in this case? Because I don't believe they are on there. It is strange to claim to be an unbiased source when you have scrubbed all mention of information that scientifically proves Amanda and Raffaele are innocent.
Again, please elaborate. Thanks Vixx.
Yes, he is. He's an old lag down at my local pub, speaks perfect backslang - popular amongst London 'villains' - together rhyming slang. 'Kimo sabi', is cockney slang for, 'Do you speak English?'
This guy is an accomplished linguist, and expert at advanced probability theory, based on his statistical prowess on the pub fruit machine, despite having left school at thirteen to attend one of the most exclusive boarding schools in the UK, HM Borstal.
I gather Kimo Sabi is the constant riposte of the companion of Roy Rogers, Tonto. Silver is the horse, who does not speak. It is a completely made up verbal phrase and thus it matters not a jot how you spell it.

If you want to go straight to a court document and you know its rough date, then you can peruse them, here:

Not everything is uploaded yet, but it has more court documents in one place than any other site.

And you are wrong. Just like you were about physics. I would think, at this point, you would have learned that making baseless claims simply does not work. When people have their own expertise to hand, and have subject matter expertise in other areas to hand, one would think that you would not double down.I gather Kimo Sabi is the constant riposte of the companion of Roy Rogers, Tonto.

Not Roy Rogers. Tonto was the Lone Ranger's sidekick.

Apparently not.
"Silver" was the Lone Ranger's horse. "Trigger" was Roy Roger's horse. Neither spoke.

You're right Vixen, most cops know the rock should be inside the building not outside. Perugian cops, not so much.
BTW, thanks for the physics lessons Vixen. Revolutionary stuff.
I think the whole physics? discussion was started in an attempt to determine how the glass shard could have obtained enough energy to embed itself in the inner shutter. I had always assumed the shard just got caught between a rock and a semi-hard place when the rock hit the inner shutter. No need for the shard to have any extraordinary velocity.

Well, it was slightly before my time.
Thank you Vixen, but that does not answer either of the questions I asked of you.
1) Can you elaborate on the fact that Jimbo Wales, the founder of wikipedia, locked you and your PGP brethren out of the wikipedia page? This fact alone seems to prove it was your side that was actually lying and distorting facts to engage in anti-Amanda Knox propaganda. Thus your claim that it was the pro-justice posters that attempted to hijack the page is dubious at best. It is a flat out lie and distortion of basic reality at worst.
2) I asked you to link me, from your fake wikipedia page, to any mention of the forensic science articles on the case. These are published in peer reviewed journals. The top peer reviewed forensic science journals in the world actually. Can you do that for me? I don't think you can. Because they aren't mentioned on your fake wiki propaganda page. Why is that Vixen? I am guessing it is because all of the forensic science articles prove Amanda and Raffaele are innocent. And you have scrubbed all information proving Amanda and Raffaele are innocent from your fake wikipedia page. Which proves it is pure lies and propaganda.
Can you please elaborate on the above, Vixx? Thank you in advance.
The appeal (or second grade) trial began in November 2010, presided over by Judges Claudio Pratillo Hellmann and Massimo Zanetti. A court-ordered review of the contested DNA evidence by independent experts noted numerous basic errors in the gathering and analysis of the evidence, and concluded that no evidential trace of Kercher's DNA had been found on the alleged murder weapon.[87][88] Although the review confirmed the DNA fragments on the bra clasp included some from Sollecito, an expert testified that the context strongly suggested contamination.[89][90][91][92]
On 3 October 2011, Knox and Sollecito were acquitted. A ruling that there was insufficient proof, similar to the verdict of not proven, was available to the court, but the court acquitted Knox and Sollecito completely.[93] The conviction of Knox on a charge of slander of Patrick Lumumba was upheld, and the original one-year sentence was increased to three years and eleven days' imprisonment.[94][95][96]
In their official report on the court's decision to overturn the convictions, the appeal trial judges wrote that the verdict of guilty at the original trial "was not corroborated by any objective element of evidence". Describing the police interviews of Knox as of "obsessive duration", the judges said that the statements she made incriminating herself and Lumumba during interrogation were evidence of her confusion while under "great psychological pressure".[97] The judges further noted that a tramp who had testified to seeing Sollecito and Knox in the Piazza Grimana on the night of the murder was a heroin addict; that Massei, the judge at the 2009 trial, had used the word "probably" 39 times in his report; and that there was no evidence of any phone calls or texts between Knox or Sollecito, and Guede.[98][99][100][101]
New trial[edit]
Following a successful prosecution request, there was a rehearing of Knox and Sollecito's second-level trial. The only new evidence came from the court-ordered analysis of a previously unexamined sample of the blade of Sollecito's kitchen knife,[clarification needed] which the prosecution had alleged was the murder weapon.[102][103] When the unexamined sample was tested by court-appointed experts for the new appeal trial, no DNA belonging to Kercher was found. Despite the negative result for the prosecution case, the court returned verdicts of guilty against the defendants, who both appealed.[104][105][106]
Acquittal of murder charge[edit]
On 27 March 2015, Italy's highest court, the Court of Cassation, ruled that Knox and Sollecito were innocent of murder, thereby definitively ending the case.[107][108][109][110] Rather than merely declaring that there were errors in the earlier court cases or that there was insufficient evidence to convict, the court ruled that Knox and Sollecito had not committed the murder and were innocent of those charges, but it upheld Knox's conviction for slandering Patrick Lumumba.[109][111]
After this verdict was announced, Knox, who had been in the United States continuously since 2011, said in a statement: "The knowledge of my innocence has given me strength in the darkest times of this ordeal."[112][113]
In September 2015, the delegate Supreme Judge, Court adviser Mr. Gennaro Marasca, made public the reasons of absolution. First, none of the evidence demonstrated that either Knox or Sollecito were present at the crime scene. Second, they cannot have "materially participated in the homicide", since there were absolutely no "biological traces that could be attributed to them in the room of the murder or on the body of the victim, where in contrast numerous traces were found attributable to Guede".[114]
