The Trials of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito: Part 26

Your loyalty to NvdL is admirable.

To repeat - it was Amazon which took action based on these "claims". Take up this matter with Amazon.

Your cites do not at all challenge that NvdL plagiarize. He took action without admitting to the plagiarism. But the important thing was that he relented.

Then Amazon unsuspended his account. Why is this difficult?

My view is that the second allegation makes it look worse. Even you are mad at PQ for his claims.

Rather like Trump signing a consent decree for discrimination in renting to minorities and then claiming there was no admission of guilt.
 
On 27 May 2015, I contacted Amazon 'title submission', who deal with disputes (but do not arbitrate them):

'ASIN: B00Y9CS69C Van der Leek, Nick; DECEIT The Meredith Kercher Murder Mystery

Dear Sir or Madam

I confirm that the above publication has been fully rewritten and retitled from the original title, DOUBT, which I understand you had a complaint about from Ms Karen Pruett. Whilst it is disputed there was any infringement of her copyright, all references to her have been edited out. [continues]'


So, your claim Amazon upheld your chum's claims is frankly complete and utter nonsense.


Karen Pruett wrote, 27.5.2015 to Amazon, Nick and a solicitor [excerpt]

[continues]


So, no sign of the 'P' word, anywhere. Just special pleading about 'what a sweet young woman' Amanda Knox is.

Factionalism. Q.E.D ::

Obviously Pruett's quote was written AFTER vdL removed the relevant parts and is conciliatory. Why on earth would she need to bring up the word "plagiarism" again? Quit looking for excuses. There aren't any.

Another blow for the PGP: the lawsuit against RS and Andrew Gumble brought by the police and Mignini for passages from "Honor Bound" has been thrown out by the court. There is no joy in Mudville tonight. The Mighty Mignini has struck out.

New absolution for Raffaele Sollecito , the young Puglia for years in the middle of a complex legal affair, the one linked to the homicide in Perugia of English student Meredith Kercher. Already definitively abolished years ago by the murder charge, today the sole judge of Florence has absolved it "because the fact does not exist" in a proceeding born following the publication in 2013 of the book "Honor bound, my travel all 'hell and back with Amanda Knox'. Raffaele Sollecito had been sentenced for trial by police forces in connection with some passages of the unpublished book in Italy: that book is a story of the criminal casewho has seen him star in November 2007, after the discovery of the corpse of Meredith Kercher in the house of via Della Pergola 7 in Perugia. A sentence of acquittal has also arrived for American writer Andrew Gumbel, co-author of the volume. Solicitude was also accused of defamation against the magistrate of Perugia Giuliano Mignini who has however lodged the lawsuit. The proceedings before the Pugliese were therefore also closed for this charge.

Thanks for this. I was wondering what had happened to this case. Is this the last of the outstanding legal issues (apart from any compensation appeal and any ECHR rulings)? A good piece of justice and PR for RS after his disappointing compensation case.
 
"Il giudice unico di Firenze ha assolto oggi "perché il fatto non sussiste" Raffaele Sollecito che era stato rinviato a giudizio per vilipendio delle forze di polizia in relazione ad alcuni passaggi del libro 'Honor bound, il mio viaggio all'inferno e ritorno con Amanda Knox', pubblicato negli Stati Uniti. Stessa sentenza per lo scrittore americano Andrew Gumbel, co-autore del volume.
Sollecito era anche accusato di diffamazione nei confronti del magistrato perugino Giuliano Mignini che ha però rimesso la querela. Il procedimento a carico dell'ingegnere pugliese si è quindi chiuso anche per questo capo d'imputazione.
Gumbel e Sollecito sono stati difesi dagli avvocati Francesca Bacecci e Alfredo Brizioli. "Si è chiusa - ha detto quest'ultimo - un'altra pagina legata alla dolorosa vicenda dell'omicidio di Meredith Kercher e Raffaele è stato ancora dichiarato estraneo ai fatti".
Sollecito e la Knox sono stati infatti definitivamente assolti per l'omicidio Kercher."

Google translation with my assistance:

A single-judge court in Florence has today acquitted Raffaele Sollecito, who had been brought to trial by police for defamation based on some of the passages in the book 'Honor bound, my journey to hell and return with Amanda Knox ', published in the United States. The same sentence {of acquittal} was given for American writer Andrew Gumbel, co-author of the volume. Sollecito was also accused of defamation against the magistrate of Perugia Giuliano Mignini who lodged the lawsuit. The proceedings against the Puglia engineer {Sollecito} were therefore also closed for this charge.Gumbel and Sollecito were defended by lawyers Francesca Bacecci and Alfredo Brizioli. "It is over," said the latter, "another page related to the painful affair of Meredith Kercher's murder and Raffaele has still {again} been declared not involved in the crime [litterally: alien to the facts]." Sollecito and Knox have been definitively acquitted of Kercher's murder.

IIRC the defamation charge against Knox's parents is still active, despite Knox being herself acquitted on essentially the same charge.
 
Grinding on regardless

Fret not, the pro-guilt-PR machine will grind on regardless.

The pro-guilt-PR machine slow-floods threads like these with what liars AK and RS are, as well as all who support them. The pro-guilt-PR machine promises that the next judicial rendering in Italy will blow this wide open and Marasca, Bruno, Zanetti, Hellmann, and de Nunzio will end up in jail. Don't forget Boninsegna. Porsche-driving criminals all.

........ except, the case the pro-guilt-PR machine tries to make - in cut-and-paste fashion - seems stuck in reverse.

How long until the motivation report for this latest is out? Or because it was dismissed with a handwave, does that mean there won't be one? That would be the bigger tragedy.

But just to anticipate the pro-guilt-PR machine which will soon recover and start their campaign anew - it was The Masons. It was powerful American media interests.

Yes, that's it.

They might want to just let that one expire without any further embarrassment, although I hope it is heard and thrown out. It's good to continually remind the public of the type of arrogant jerk Mignini truly is.

Congrats to Raffaele and Andrew... fantastic news. I guess the few remaining PGP will be sulking for a few days. Love it!
 
Poor poor Peter Quennell.

In the last while he's been compiling a list of people who will be "forced to tell the truth one day." The prosecution of Raffaele Sollecito and Andrew Gumbel for defamation was going to be the crack which broke the dam, and unsuspecting foreigners would have bags put over their heads while being hustled into tinted-window vans, and renditioned to dark-sites in Italy.

Guiliano Mignini's defamation claims against RS and AG was simply the starting gun. What proof does anyone need that the whole pro-guilt PR campaign is by Mignini-surrogates who simply will not bow to the obvious?

There must be some explanation for why Peter Quennell has wasted hundreds of column inches on his website predicting doom and gloom? Could it be that the kids were innocent?

Nah.

Its a conspiracy, dude. Look how RS and AG got off scot-free with their lies!!!! Yes, that's it. It's a conspiracy.

It's all covered in the soon to be released JFK-conspiracy files. Oliver North** will make the movie.

ETA - ** make that "Stone". Holy cow, what a typo!

Then it'll be back to business as usual. Mignini needs saving, after all. The Italian courts won't do it for him, so someone has to....
 
At least this takes the heat off of Nick van der Leek, on allegations of plagiarism. Not all guilters were sad by yesterday's ruling in the RS and AG defamation case!

As Andrea Vogt famously said, these are all side shows.

The pro-guilt, pro-Mignini PR campaign reboots.

Next excuse - it was just a flesh-wound.

The campaign continuez, "nothing to see, move on."

AKA - O look, squirrel.

My complaint is this - we were promised that Mignini's defamation suit would finally expose all the lies. Now it's just a side show.

I think I may have whiplash.

Well of course. The main event ended in March 27, 2015.

The pinnacle of irony? Having the pro-Mignini PR campaign quote Andrea Vogt.

The journalist who flipped on that campaign in March 2015, who declared the case definitively over with acquittals - and who started outing the more notorious guilters!

This PR campaign gets great mileage and can turn on a dime!

A new phase of the Florence trial of Raffaele Sollecito and Andrew Gumbel is scheduled to start on Thursday of next week.

Why is this the iceberg in the Titanic’s path? Because Sollecito and later Knox made numerous demonstrably false and damaging claims that so many others then made, most usually worse.

See Sollecito go down here, or withdraw his claims, for lack of any proof, and the legal liabilities of all those others stretch to the horizon and beyond.

ROTFLMAO!
