Cont: The Trials of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito: Part 27

[TruthCalls]

You can find a very good cataloguing of demonstrable proof of all the lies on this site here:

http://truejustice.org/ee/index.php

Or, go direct to court documents: Crini spells out in detail how Knox and Sollecito's alibis are actively fake. Why would someone charged with a serious murder come up with a fake alibi, and then refuse to testify? Crini explains why: guilt.

But don't stop there. Even Marasca-Bruno comments on the fact the pair lied 'umpteen times'.

Raff had his claim for compensation thrown out because of his deliberate deception, evasion and fraudulent utterings.

I find Crini difficult to read so who knows, but apparently I missed this as I don't recall anything of the kind. Could you please provide me the actual quotes or point out exactly when he said this so I can grab the transcript and read it? Thanks.

Keeping up with Rudy Guede, part 2:

Rudy Guede, permesso premio: fuori dal carcere di Viterbo fino al 15 novembre


Rudy Guede, special permit: out of Viterbo prison until November 15th

VITERBO - New three-day permission for Rudy Guede, who is serving 16 years in jail for Meredith Kercher's murder in Perugia on the night of November 1, 2007. He left Viterbo prison to be hosted from the Gavac, the voluntary association that deals with prisoners and their families. It will have to go back to the cell on Tuesday, November 15th by the 17th.

According to the spokesman for the Center for Criminological Studies Daniele Camilli, it is the fourth special permit for the Ivorian after one in June and two for August and September (of which no news has been given so far). This time however, Guede had the permission to leave the facility. "You can do that," Camilli said to Ansa, "for an hour at breakfast, an hour and a half for lunch, and just for dinner. The rest of the time he spends inside the Gavac (under house arrest) where he studies for the master's degree in history and environment at the Roma Tre University ".

In July he graduated in prison with 110 and honors in Historical Sciences at the same University. Last night and today at lunch Guede went to two different restaurants in the center of Viterbo. "He chooses typical products," Camilli said, "and he only drinks Coca Cola. He likes to change restaurants because these are the first times after nine years he can eat out of prison. " Guede ate with his family and friends, like the teacher who taught him in Perugia. With him also were volunteers from the Center for Criminological Studies who follow [monitor?] him in the prison of Viterbo.

[Planigale]

This is fair comment within the context of the argument (being Stacyhs' assertion that 'statement analysis' is pseudo science). If you believe statement analysis cannot identify manipulation, persuasion and lies designed to deceive, then it is fair comment that you are an advertisers' dream and a sucker for hoax innocence campaigns, based on PR/advertising techniques. I see nothing personal there.

It isn't fair comment to claim, as Planigale did, from nowhere and apropos of nothing that as a professional accountant, I don't know the difference between zero and exempt VAT. What? That is a professional slur.

Vixen,

Not really, if it was the bleach they bought for the purpose.

Quintavalle might have rung it up as "pizza", food being VAT exempt, whereas if he'd itemised it as bleach, he'd have output VAT to declare to HM Inspector of Taxes. <shrug>

Vixen not knowing that food is zero rated in the UK.

Zero rated means food is liable for VAT but the the local country can choose the rate in the UK it is zero. Zero rated means there is no assumption that Italy would also zero rate food, which it does not, there is VAT on food in Italy.

Whereas a VAT exempt item is exempt throughout the EU. That Vixen thought there was no VAT on food in Italy meant Vixen genuinely thought food was exempt. Vixen had obviously forgotten from her VAT exam the whole Jaffa cake case!

You are charged VAT on hot pizzas.

For goodness sake I was talking conversationally, not being technical with my accountant hat on. I said tax exempt because the average person on this board especially our cousins across the pond don't want to read puffed up jargon like 'zero-rated VAT'. They want the bottom line - 'exempt'.

I am actually a very good accountant before you start claiming I am not.

He doesn't need to seeing as he got an official signed sealed and delivered plaque from the Italian government thanking him for his fake story about getting hot and heavy with his murder victim while on a date and then being sorry he had the ***** when she spontaneously erupted into a pool of blood.

I'm not sure how first world a justice system is that goes out of their way to reward criminals for no reason for knowingly lying about their crimes.

Is the treatment of Rudy Guede in the Italian prison system exceptional?

"'Conditions in Italian prisons are still bad'

27 May 2014

On the eve of a deadline set by the European Court of Human Rights for Italy to ease overcrowding in prisons, the country’s jails still exceed the legal capacity by at least 15,000 inmates, according to figures from Antigone, the Italian prison watchdog.

Although some progress has been made to ease overcrowding – there are now 59,683 inmates in Italian prisons compared to 66,028 last June – the figure is still above the legal capacity of 44,329 places, while living conditions are still bad, Antigone was cited as saying by Il Fatto Quotidiano.

The watchdog found cases of “scabies” during recent prison visits, as well as a “lack of activities” for inmates and “a lack of space for rehabilitative treatment and socializing”.

In January last year, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that overcrowding in Italian prisons “violated basic human rights” and ordered the government to pay €100,000 to seven inmates who brought the so-called Torreggiani case over cramped living conditions. The court also gave Italy until May 28th 2014 to rectify the issue.

The court has received over 6,829 complaints relating to inhumane conditions, with a report by the Council of Europe in late April revealing that conditions in Italian prisons were worse than those in Serbian jails. ...."

"Italy leads way on prison reform but system in crisis

14/04/2016

.... Take Regina Coeli in Rome, a 17th century former monastery. The first surprise is that everyone is out of their cells. One reform allows cell doors to stay open during the day. Other reforms have allowed the early release of more than 10,000 inmates to serve alternative punishments.

The European Court of Human Rights likes Italy’s reforms, indeed praises them as exemplary, but their application is patchy, and building programmes are stalled. One prisoner told us that in his block there were cases of scabies, and there were only two showers for 72 inmates. ....

Eighty percent of Italy’s prisons are over 100 years old. At least one dates from the 15th century. And what can be done within them? That is the real question, because there not enough activities for inmates, a problem recognised at ministerial level. As a direct consequence prisons are failing in their primary duty, to get criminals back on the straight and narrow. This is why Italy’s repeat offender rates are among Europe’s highest. ...."

No, Guede would not necessarily being serving life without parole in the US. Sentences for second degree murder (not premeditated) range greatly from state to state. For example, in Alaska the penalty is as little as 10 years. In Arizona it's not less than 10 years nor more than 25 years. In Arkansas, it's 6 to 30 years.
Once again, you are just making things up. Please learn that you will be called on falsehoods.

As for Italy's "corrupt system" aren't you and other PGPs always on about Hellmann being "bent" and being paid off for an acquittal? Aren't you the ones claiming Marasca broke the law when he acquitted RS and AK?

How ironic that the police who investigated the Kercher murder were given medals for their fine work. Work that was later shredded for its "stunning flaws, or amnesia, in the investigation and omissions in the investigative activity".

Gee, do you think the Kercher' believe Guede deserves humane and compassionate treatment. He sure didn't extend such consideration to Meredith as he was killing her.

In the US he wouldn't be in prison for life w/o parole but I'd like to believe he'd be doing more than 10 years of hard time.

And no, he won't be guest speaker at any innocence conferences since, unlike Amanda and Raffaele, Guede was convicted of committing a murder.

The above statements assume that Guede's crimes would be charged as murder in the second degree (or similarly) in a US state.

This assumption is not necessarily correct.

The laws many states consider a murder committed in the commission of another felony, or to advance another felony, chargeable as murder in the first degree, and thus eligible for the maximum penalty.

Guede committed murder to advance the US felony crimes of rape, robbery, and burglary.

Here, for example, is Florida law:

"Felony Murder

Florida requires the prosecution of "felony murder," which also leads to a first degree murder charge, when the defendant commits homicide while during the commission of a specified felony or an attempt to carry out a felony. State laws include a list of felonies that qualify a homicide as first degree murder. These felonies include burglary, home-invasion robbery, kidnapping, sexual battery, and many other offenses, including the murder of another person. While the prosecutor must prove that the defendant intended to participate in the underlying felony, the state can proceed with the charge even if the defendant did not personally perform the killing. ....

Statutes


Florida Statutes Sections 782.02-782.36

Penalties and Sentencing


First degree murder is a capital felony in Florida. For a capital felony, the state may pursue the death penalty. If court proceedings at the sentencing stage lead to a determination that the defendant should not receive the death penalty, state law requires a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole."

[Vixen]

Here is an excellent article on why statement analysis is a pseudoscience. Included in this article is the following quote which included my favorite line which I've put in bold print:


http://skepdic.com/statementanalysis.html


There is a reason statement analysis is not allowed as evidence in court in the US, UK, Canada and elsewhere: it is not a proven science. It is pseudoscience.

It might be all new to you, but Content Analysis is perfectly respectable. Re Sapir finding the word 'certain' dodgy, many judges immediately start sniffing a lie when people in the witness box use words like, 'Obviously'. It's often a flag they are trying to persuade the court a thing is obvious when it is anything but.

It's an interesting art. When I spent a couple weeks one summer selling encyclopaedias we were told to emphasis the word 'just' in front of the price (which was far from cheap!). Whilst few reputable sales men believe they tell outright lies, none the less their sales patter includes, 'overcoming the customer's resistance', pointing out the neighbours have bought one, claiming a major discount is available only for an extremely short time (i.e., now), offering easy payment terms, it is all the same technique that innocence fraudsters use, 'It was only a murder, what's the big deal', 'does he look like a murderer?' 'we can offer you alternative explanations', 'the client had their human rights breached' and the usual sympathy card stuff.

But you knew that already. You know perfectly well Knox and Raff's 'innocence projects' are sham.

You are a salesperson pushing your wares.

We can do a statement analysis and see that this is so.

 

[Vixen]

No, it doesn't work like this, Vixen.

"Proof" does not consist of simply writing "you can find proof here, here and here". I want to see the actual documentary proof of your claims written by you on this thread. You're welcome (indeed encouraged, if not mandated) to point to primary-source evidence to support your "proof".

Have another, better, attempt.

Go to the court documents. Here's one: Raff's statement to the police (excerpt) 5 Nov 2007, but do read the whole thing for yourself.

On November 5th 2007 at 22:40 in the offices of the Flying Squad of the Perugia Police Headquarters. Before the undersigned of the Criminal Investigation Dept. Deputy Commissioner MONICA NAPOLEONI, Chief Inspector Antonio FACCHINI Vice Superintendent of Police Daniele MOSCATELLI, Assistant Chief Ettore FUOCO is present the above-mentioned who, to supplement the declarations made [November] in these Offices, in regards to the facts being investigated, declares as follows: [*A.D.R. = Question Answer = QA]
QA I have known Amanda for about two weeks. From the night that I met her she started sleeping at my house. On November 1st, I woke up at around 11, I had breakfast with Amanda then she went out and I went back to bed. Then around 13:00-14:00 I met her at her house again. Meredith was there too. Amanda and I had lunch while Meredith did not have lunch with us.
QA Around 16:00 Meredith left in a hurry without saying where she was going. Amanda and I stayed home until about 17:30-18:00.
QA We left the house, we went into town, but I don’t remember what we did.
QA We stayed there from 18:00 until 20:30/21:00. At 21:00 I went home alone because Amanda told me that she was going to go to the pub Le Chic because she wanted to meet some friends.
QA At this point we said goodbye and I headed home while she headed towards the center.
QA I went home alone, sat at the computer and rolled myself a spliff. Surely I had dinner but I don’t remember what I ate. Around 23:00 my father called at my home number 075.9660789. During that time I remember Amanda had not come back yet.
QA I browsed at my computer for another two hours after my father’s phone call and only stopped when Amanda came back presumably around 1:00.
QA I don’t remember how she was dressed and if she was dressed the same way as when we said goodbye before dinner.
QA I don’t remember if we had sex that night.
QA The following morning around 10:00 we woke up, she told me she wanted to go home and take a shower and change clothes.

Virtually every word is a demonstrable lie.

CRINI: let's say we do a photography of the story because the photograph of the affair certainly does not belong to a process in which those who are supposed to be present, starting with Guede, tells of different things, in the sense two do not say anything about, except that one - as we have seen - explains in short having dreamlike memories of this story, this is one.
So we have a silent defendant, [Sollecito] who says he was in his house smoking a spliffs in front of the computer; another who says she has dream memories and accuses a person of which he is well aware is innocent; and then the third one who tells the things you know, that is, to say "I came home" ... etc.

I am sure you recall the expert IT evidence that there was no computer activity as claimed.

Jennifer Mee (now 26) is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. She was found guilty of luring Wall-Mart worker Shannon Griffin to an abandoned home under the pretense of selling him marijuana in October of 2010. Once there, two of Mee's friends robbed him at gunpoint - but the victim struggled and was shot four times. Mee was charged with first-degree murder despite not pulling the trigger.

Under Florida law, someone who participates in a robbery that leads to a death can still be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

What this proves is Raffaele is recalling a different evening. We know this can't be from the night of the murder because Popovic twice visited Raffaele's apartment and found Amanda there both times.

What's interesting is Raffaele and Amanda both had always said they were at his apartment together and among other things they watched the movie Amelie. Popovic's testimony and computer analysis confirms this. As this is commonly referred to as an alibi there would be no reason for Raffaele to suddenly change the story during an interrogation and then, once the interrogation was over, revert back to the story he had always given. PGP like to call this a lie (for which there is no motivation to do so) but the rest of us call it confusion over which night he's recalling.

IIRC, Raffaele had asked the police for a calendar but his request was denied. Why do you think that is?

I recall the 'expert IT analysts' who fried hard drives and couldn't properly interpret metadata on a UNIX based system such as a Mac. Access to the Naruto cartoon file was also not found by the police experts but Raffaele's expert was able to recover it. That access was at 21:26 and was not disputed by the prosecution.

All Crini did was spin his own version of events much the same as Mignini and his infamous cartoon of the crime. He didn't prove a "fake" (I believe the correct term would be false, but whatever) alibi. He attempted to cut into the credibility of it but failed to produce anything to that end.

Raffaele WAS in his apartment and he WAS in front of his computer as he watched Amelie and a Naruto cartoon on the computer. Amanda was also proven to be there per Popovic, who also testified Amanda was in a very cheerful mood - not some drugged up psychopath preparing to slaughter her roommate.

I stand corrected. I was thinking in terms of non-premeditation therefore not first degree, but given the rape and burglary he might still have received life. Of course, each state is different and sentencing guidelines tend to provide significant latitude in rendering a sentence, but if we assume he was correctly convicted of burglary, rape and murder then yeah, he might have gotten life w/o/p.

There is no activity on Amanda's computer or Raff's.

Popovic claims should be taken with a pinch of salt, just like Papa Sollecito.

Alternatively, if Popovic and Papa are telling the truth, then Raff and Amanda are wanton liars, as set out in Florence and Supreme Court's written reasons rejecting Raff's claim for compensation.

You see, content analysis works.
