You are still going around the point. The "system provides too much power" again avoids to consider what power actualy he has and what the other people have. Do you realize that Micheli had the power to quit the investigation or not? That Comodi had the same power Mignini had? That Matteini and Ricciarelli choud have quit the investigation or set the defendants free? And Massei and Cristiani and Stefanoni all take orders from Mignini.
You avoid to answer these questions. You mistake the key decisions and authorities in the case, and you mistake Mignini's role, if you think in terms of higher courts. Higher courts are not "dribbled" in this case and in particular they are not dribbled by Mignini. Their decision on usability of documents does not have a real effect in a system of charges like the one issued by Judge Micheli.
Let me put it this way: I know this isn't the first time a gross miscarriage of justice occurred. For something like this to happen, naturally more than one person bears some responsibility. I think Micheli will regret someday not 'quitting' the investigation. I think the court that decided not to dismiss the case after the blatant manufacturing of evidence (right on TV!) of the bra clasp will regret that decision. I think Comodi too will have even greater regrets. I also think each will try to make a case that the decisions
at the time were in accordance with what their duties entailed. That might even be correct, but I wonder who will listen.
This crime (as prosecuted) only occurred in Mignini's mind, he's the one who constructed this pornographic fantasy and spread it all throughout the tabloids. He created the conditions where his tale and his only could prevail, and those who sought to stop him would have to face public scrutiny, if not charges from Mignini himself, as he's been known to go after just about anyone in pursuit of his 'investigations.' Thus in the end I suspect the only one who knew the whole 'story' from start to finish was Mignini, the others saw partial glimpses, outside maybe Comodi, but there came a point where she was 'all in' and couldn't quit.
I don't know what you mean by 'dribbled.' Is that in reference to how the trial of Amanda for her 'slander' against Patrick just so happened to run concurrently with her main trial thus the jury got to hear evidence of the 'confession' that was declared inadmissible by the Supreme Court of Italy? Boy, that sure worked out well for Mignini's case, didn't it? You don't think an experienced prosecutor can game this byzantine system you've described? You're trying to pretend that Italy is basically the only place in the world without a 'good ol' boy' network?
The case against Amanda and Raffaele could have convicted
me! As well as you, and anyone on this forum. It wouldn't matter if I was ten thousand miles away, if the professional witness bum 'sees' me in the basketball court that breaks my 'alibi' for the time of the murder. If the celebrity-seeking twit 'sees' me lurking outside his store at 7 AM that's just further 'proof' I'm a liar, even if it no longer makes any sense that I'd be there, he's just responding to an obsolete casting call for 'witnesses.' You could go into my home and find something with my DNA that would serve as a murder weapon, take it into the lab and screw the machine down to the lowest setting and say the victim's DNA was on it, more 'proof' of my involvement. When the 'murder weapon' doesn't match the wounds just create a 'two knife theory.'
If more DNA evidence is needed, just pick something off the floor of the murder site and take it into the lab with all the other stuff of mine collected, or just have your 'expert' mumble that matching six of nine peaks is 'compatible' with my DNA. The fact my passport wasn't stamped is just more 'proof' of my nefarious involvement, I entered and left the country secretly! More charges to file! The 'timeline' constructed will show that I could have left here and flown there and had plenty of time to commit the murder and go home, and since my alibi is just one other person they must have been involved too--they now have no alibi for the time of the murder!
They look into my history and find I spent many years in an organization known for violence and which has been accused of every vile action possible, some of which are even true. Look into how I spent some of that time and broadcast it to every corner of Italy, everyone remembers that cable-car thing, right? The fact I was seen laughing on a CCTV camera at the convenience store days after the murder? More proof I'm a psychopath for not properly mourning a person I never met. I'd never have a chance in that courtroom, I'd be a convict before I ever walked in.
Satire to be sure, but with a grain of truth. Basically that's what occurred to Amanda and Raffaele, they were smoking the wacky weed and enjoying each other's company blocks away and yet since they fit into Mignini's fevered imaginings of what happened they were cast in those unfortunate roles, despite the fact all the
real evidence pointed to something else entirely.
