No, I don't believe it. Criminals claiming 'not guilty' have to concoct lies for their defence. Guede is hardly likely to come out and admit his guilt, any more than Knox or Sollecito will. Why don't I believe him? Because if he really was a friend of Kercher he should be able to prove it. Mez had just come home after an evening with her English compatriots. How likely is she going to pick up some guy on the way home, even if she knows him from the local pub? In addition, if it was true he and Mez were making out when Knox arrived home and picked a fight, he would surely take the side of Kercher and not Knox.
IMV Massei, Micheli and Nencini were on the right track, albeit with some variation in their construction of events, which is to be expected given nobody was actually present to witness what happened. Knox was on her way to work when she got a message from Patrik not to come in as business was quiet. She bumped into Guede in Plaza Grimana and invited him abck to the cottage, or he invited himself. Whatever the sequence, at some poitn, Guede, Knox and Kercher were together in the cottage and probably Sollecito came by, too. A row broke out between Knox and Kercher. The fact Guede took Knox' side and held Mez' hands behind her back (his DNA is on the cuffs of her jumper) whilst Knox and Sollecito tormented her with knives proves he was no friend of Mez'.
Motive, I believe a young adult thrill killling. Sollecito because he was into 'extreme experiences' and knives and Knox because she was upset by Mez excluding her from her circle of friends and possibly accusing her of the theft of her rent money. Sollecito had in his apartment an anime comic whci recreated a Halloween scene of an ancient female vampire, which showed the vampire being slayed, naked, with three pairs of feet standing around her. Knox had spent Halloween alone, tramping the streets looking for friends whilst Mez was out having fun with her group of friends. I believe this triggered Knox who had been subjected to exclusion at school and by her own account subsequently had to hang out with the freaks and 'rejects'. This was a case of history repeating itself, with Sollecito himself a loner, incel-type with personality disorder problems, which were the despair off his father, who packed him off to a boarding school for the orphans of doctors. Sollecito bitterly resented this as he blamed his fahter's affair for the suicide of his mother, hence his retreat into drug experimentation and anti-social attitude (love of Marilyn Manson for example). So the three of them stoned out of the heads on drugs (see Kokomani's testimony) play acted Mez as a vampire to be slain (as she still had blood makeup on her chin earlier that afternoon). English girls can be quite haughty so I am sure this stuck in Knox' craw.
So, as is apparent, Guede, like the woman in the Manson gang, was equally guilty by holding the victims arms behind her back, and indeed had his trousers drenched in her blood.
The fact Knox and Sollecito did come back later to clean up the mess and try to stage a burglary, all fits in with the chronology the prosecution lawyers came up with. I don't believe it was an argument about cleanliness. That wouldn't lead to torture and sadism. So i disagree with Nencini there. However, as motive is not required to prove an aggravated murder, Nencini probably went for the lesser motive. Massei's belief in a sex game 'gone wrong' was likely nearer the mark.
What Americans find impossible to believe is that Knox would be friends with an African. However, it is a fact they knew each other, had exchanged pleasantries in the night club and had shared a joint at the cottage.
Where to even begin? Maybe here:
Knox was on her way to work when she got a message from Patrik not to come in as business was quiet.
Patrick's text was sent at
20:18:12 (Lumumba phone log) and she replied at
20:35:48 (Lumumba and Knox phone logs) Knox didn't work until 9:00 (23:00). Knox was also seen at RS's apt. by Jovana Popovic at 8:40 after she had texted Lumumba acknowledging his text. This disproves that "She bumped into Guede in Plaza Grimana and invited him abck to the cottage, or he invited himself." You might want to familiarize yourself with the records.
at some poitn, Guede, Knox and Kercher were together in the cottage and probably Sollecito came by, too.
Why? According to your scenario, Knox never went back to his place after leaving to go to work and bumped into Guede then going to her place. RS would have thought she was at work so why would he go to her place? Phone records show no calls/texts between her and RS that night, so how would he know to go to her place? Also, why does CCTV footage from the parking garage show only Kercher arriving home? Unless you think they climbed over a fence that was rather high off the ground from street level to the cottage yard level instead of walking down the driveway?
A row broke out between Knox and Kercher. The fact Guede took Knox' Knox's side and held Mez' Meredith's hands behind her back (his DNA is on the cuffs of her jumper) whilst Knox and Sollecito tormented her with knives proves he was no friend of Mez' Meredith's.
"The fact"? A 'fact' is not based on someone's imagination but on provable evidence. Which your scenario lacks in abundance.
His DNA was found on one cuff. If he'd been holding her by the wrists firmly enough to subdue her while she was being 'tormented', it would have been found on both cuffs.
Motive, I believe a young adult thrill killling. Sollecito because he was into 'extreme experiences' and knives and Knox because she was upset by Mez excluding her from her circle of friends and possibly accusing her of the theft of her rent money.
A 'thrill kill" by two people with zero history of abnormal or violent behavior. Unless you'd like to bring up a "scissors attack" again? An attack that was totally unsubstantiated and in which the anonymous source never said Sollecito was involved in, but only that a such an attack had occurred at the school. You might want to familiarize yourself with Volturno's testimony.
No one ever testified Knox was upset with Kercher for anything. No one. In fact, sworn testimony from the Italian roommates and the boys downstairs stated that they never saw any problems between the girls or that one had ever spoken badly about or complained about the other to them. It was Knox's choice not to hang out with other English speakers because she wanted Italian friends to better learn the language.[/I] That's why she made Italian friends and insisted speaking in Italian, which, according to Follain, irritated Kercher's British girlfriends.
Why would Knox need to steal Kercher's rent money when she had over $4000 in her bank account and a job? You conveniently forget that it was Guede, not Knox, who was in desperate need of money.
You might want to familiarize yourself with the testimonies and bank records.
Sollecito had in his apartment an anime comic whci recreated a Halloween scene of an ancient female vampire, which showed the vampire being slayed, naked, with three pairs of feet standing around her.
Yes, which he had received as a gift and was still in its unopened, original covering. Unless he was influenced by it through psychic abilities, it's just a red herring. You might want to familiarize yourself with the records.
Knox had spent Halloween alone, tramping the streets looking for friends whilst Mez was out having fun with her group of friends. I believe this triggered Knox who had been subjected to exclusion at school and by her own account subsequently had to hang out with the freaks and 'rejects'.
What you believe is irrelevant since you interpret everything from an extreme guilt-biased perspective. Knox had many friends in college...all of whom refused to speak badly about her to the journalists and paparazzi inundating them with requests for interviews. She sent her email of Nov. 4 to
25 friends back home. Hardly someone who had trouble making friends.
and by her own account subsequently had to hang out with the freaks and 'rejects'.
"Freaks and 'rejects'" is your description, not Knox's:
I was the quirky kid who hung out with the sulky manga-readers, the ostracized gay kids, and the theater geeks. I took Japanese and sang, loudly, in the halls while walking from one class to another. Since I didn’t really fit in, I acted like myself, which pretty much made sure I never did.
But to my lasting embarrassment, in my junior year, I traded my friends for a less eccentric crowd.
I made friends with a more mainstream group of girls and guys, attracted to them by their cohesiveness. They traveled in packs in the halls, ate lunch together, hung out after school, and seemed to have known each other forever. But in pulling away from my original friends, who liked me despite my being different, or maybe because I was, I hurt them. And while my new friends were fun-loving, I was motivated to be with them by insecurity. I’m ashamed for not having had the guts to be myself no matter what anyone thought.
(Waiting to Be Heard, pgs. 11,12)
Your description of 'gay kids' and 'theater geeks' as 'freaks and rejects' is interesting to say the least.
Sollecito himself a loner, incel-type with personality disorder problems, which were the despair off his father, who packed him off to a boarding school for the orphans of doctors.
Lots of shy people are loners but RS did have friends which you imply he didn't. RS said he was very shy. 'Incel-type'? Let me get this straight. Amanda was promiscuous and slut shamed
for having sex and Raffaele is an 'incel type'
because he didn't have a lot of sex? Wow. Where are his complaints blaming women for that? Or anything derogatory about women at all? That's what incels do. You might want to familiarize yourself with 'incel-types'.
which were the despair off his father, who packed him off to a boarding school for the orphans of doctors.
Um...no. Just no:
When I finished high school, I needed to get away, so I applied for university in Perugia, where I had the opportunity to live cheaply at a residential college set up specially for the children of doctors. My father, who understood why I wanted to leave, thought it would be a smoother transition than launching out on my own.
My mind, though, was made up: when Perugia accepted me, it was time to cut my old ties and try life in a different part of Italy.
I didn’t regret the choice for an instant.

You've made this same claim before about his father packing him off because of his drug usage and claimed he said so in his book. I challenged it then and asked for quotes/citation...which you, unsurprisingly, failed to ever provide. You might want to familiarize yourself with his book before making claims about what's in it.
