I don't think in the end there will be many people at all who really think Amanda Knox or Raffaele Sollecito murdered anyone.

There will be some of course, and they are entitled to their opinion.

Once the truth is officially acknowledged, that opinion will become actionably libellous, rather than what it is now: just morally libellous.

Aside from misspelling "Henckels" (a common mistake), those are brand names which would be very well known to anyone with even a casual familiarity with quality kitchen cutlery, along with Sabatier, Spyderco, etc. Henckels is probably one of the best known balances between cost and quality. Someone nearly always has them on sale somewhere. I have eight of them in a knife block on my kitchen counter.

I also forgot the J.A. (before the Henckels), and to mention that mine are 4* (as opposed to 5*, sorry, but I prefer the feeling of the 4*), which may have a bearing on length.

One possible place Raffaele's DNA came from in Meredith's room is on Amanda's lamp. Raffaele likely turned the lamp on or off while 'hanging out' with Amanda in her room. On Dec 18th Amanda's lamp had been moved to the desk and the cord of her lamp extended down to the floor near the rug the bra clasp was found under. Can you prove this is not reasonably possible?

And WHY was Amanda's lamp in Meredith's room? Only reason I can imagine is to help with the cleanup!

OK, I just want to know who has the biggest Henckel. With J.A.'s size doesn't matter.

For the same reasons she's been imprisoned for three years and is still considered a 'flight risk.'

Well, if she were to be let out, do you think she would NOT be a flight risk?

Lets be serious, she would be a 100% MAJOR flight risk!

No evidence. There's no reason for the US to try to cover-up the failings of the Perugian police nor the ridiculous imaginings of Mignini.

Alas, foreign (i.e. US) governments don't count for squat in this matter. As it should be.

What, She is doing 26 years - she is not going to leave Italy unless she beats the rap or goes for prisoner transfer, which has already been explained to you by Alt+F4.
[OK There is also the special forces/covert ops idea but thats obviously hush hush ]

Its not an X-factor vote !

Admit it ... you are posting these arguments to make the Foakers look bad :p

I suspect you are far from alone in this.

I needed something to talk about other than endlessly posting 'citations' that will never be accepted by those to whom that parade/convoy passage in Dempsey's book is very important for some reason.

So I figured maybe I'd talk to you since you posted to me and see if I could get a 'retro-causality' out of you. I guess I will have to be happy with an implication I was being 'confusing' and 'incoherent,' which amuses me to no end, having read your posts for a couple months now. :D

Lack of imagination? WHAT cleanup? :confused:


Glad you concur that the Amanda's lamp is a possible source of Raffaele's DNA being in Meredith's bedroom.

Well, my salmon knife is 43cm long (just measured), but only weighs 132g.

My 25cm bladed chef knife is 39cm long , but weighs 264g.

Take your pick.

Size or substance?

That was my argument, though I think it might be more of a case of her wanting to stay and clear her name, but her mother stuffing her in the trunk and driving off.

novplato was being a bit rude in his response to you, whatever the motivation behind your post. There are some posters I have corresponded with that believe a political pressure solution is the only way out for Amanda. They have a right to that opinion regardless if somebody thinks that opinion makes someone else with a different opinion look bad. If Amanda is somehow let go pending further court review, the authorities would not only know that the chances of her running is close to 100%, they would probably be counting on her running, in my opinion.

quad probably has something in between those two that is just right but there is a danger of him getting upset if I make comparisons to other henckles.

I was just kidding Platonov in that last post. I enjoyed talking to him about the movies, and I do indeed believe it nearly certain in the end that Amanda and Raffaele will go free, for various reasons. I also think a conviction all the way through to the Italian Supreme Court will end up being an embarrassment for the Italian Court system, and would probably get rectified.

I also don't think the Supreme Court will convict them, though I am unsure about the appeal in Perugia, that was ground zero for the defamation and suspicion campaign.
 
French picnic knife

TomCH said:
You've obviously never been on a picnic, his knives were all far too small.

I used to have a French picnic knife, and it was much smaller than Raffaele's kitchen knife. It had a folding blade, much more practical for picnics.

I'm afraid you you have confused :eek: me with another poster.

Your exchange was with Alt+F4 - I merely wrote the review :)
