Re: "Some here are arguing that Guede acted with a pal." +
"I don't think Rudy acted with a pal, and neither did the police who discovered the body."
I believe that the defense for Raffaele Sollecito plans to bring up that Rudy Guede had an accomplice with him during appeal.
Reading something about Alessandra Formica beofre that stuck in my mind, I dug this up:
Date: 3/26/2009 Title: "He was not Rudy" on Perugia Shock
"It was an instant for Alessandra Formica and her boyfriend.
At about 22:30 of November 1, they are descending the stairs of via della Pergola that lead to viale S.Antonio, where their car is parked and where the cottage is. Suddenly a guy who walks in the rush, coming up, bumps into them and runs away. They wouldn't know in that moment but that man could be a murderer.
A few days later Alessandra will hear of what happened in that cottage and will go to the police. That's how people become witnesses, real witnesses, not buffoons seduced by unscrupulous provincial scribblers.
But one thing is a deposition in front of the Pm and another thing is releasing it in a trial.
If previously from Formica's deposition it looked like that running guy could be Rudy today she's positive: I can rule out that that guy could be Rudy Guede. Another unexpected element. That's what trials are for.
So, if that guy wasn't Rudy, if he was not someone who was late for the bus, we finally start to understand what happened while Amanda and Raffaele were on bed."
Here's a little more:
Date: 6/28/2009 Title: The Boy with the Ball in his Hands" on Perugia Shock
"The woman director of the Milan kindergarten was heard. She said she arrived in the morning at the school together with a worker and she saw Rudi in her office. She asked him for explanations in a harsh way, even screaming. But Rudi didn't attack the woman and the worker, didn't run away. He was quiet, serene and available to chat. He justified himself telling her that he had payed 50 € to a guy who showed him that place, where he could sleep. The woman called the police and when the officers arrived they found in Rudi's bag a big knife he had taken from the kitchen of the kindergarten. Also a few coins that were in a closet were missing. In Rudi's bag, as we know, they found as well computer and cellphone stolen from the lawyers office. He tried to justify himself telling to have bought the devices at the Milan train station. Maybe he still didn't have realized the cellphone wasn't working but he was quick in setting his picture with Giorgio Armani as a screen-saver of the laptop. The officers sued him for entering the kindergarten, theft, receiving stolen goods, and detention and transportation of weapon.
Certainly this is a very heavy episode for Rudi. We recognize his creative lies but we don't really see a violent person. He didn't attack the woman, the worker and another person who arrived in the meantime. He didn't try to run away and he waited for the arrival of the police. He wasn't carrying a weapon if is true that he had just stolen one.
When back in Perugia, he will show up in shorts, singlet and with a ball in his hands at the lawyers office to explain that he wasn't the author of the theft (at least, for what those lawyers have told us. Strange lawyers, actually, terrified of journalists...).
Can this coins thief, can this naif boy with a ball in his hand turn, in a few days, into the ruthless butcher of Meredith?
Hard to believe, but he was there. He was in Meredith's room and his story of the murderer arriving while he was in toilet doesn't stand.
On the other hand clues of a murder committed by more than one person still stand.
As we know a witness heard two people running after a scream. Another witness met, at 22:30, a black person, who wasn't Rudi, having the typical way of walking of someone who absolutely didn't have to be seen in his face and didn't have his voice to be heard.
Introna's reconstruction, then, as we have seen, doesn't really work and didn't prove why Meredith didn't have defense wounds.
Analyzing the B & A at the lawyers' office, then, in which Rudi is almost certainly involved, we have noticed the presence of a quasi professional thief able to disable the antitheft. The burglar located the antitheft and disabled the automatic phone calls it does, something like that. A circumstance that makes one think that the basketball player may have gone to steal there together with a more experienced thief. And the mini gang may have done the same at Meredith's place."
