You will find very few concede this yeti. Prepare for the "internalized false memory" mantra. No evidence, of course, but AK simply cannot tell a lie, according to many.

I don't know that for a fact. Precisely what alleged lies are you referring to?
Whatever the punishment, one would hope police would be punished more severely for lying during a murder investigation.

It's not possible for posters on an internet forum, from a variety of jurisdictions, to come up with a glib answer to that hypothetical. Even a court would require a lot of detailed consideration of the nature of the offence before deciding on a sentence.

ah yes the "false memories" "implanted memories" & "visions"
i'd give them 20 years just for the lies.

What a great article that is, too! It's not surprising there's those who wish it had gone dead, that John Douglas was punished for his 'alarming' comments. I can just imagine what sort of 'explanations' they came up with while they thought that link was dead...

My thoughts entirely. Police are apparently allowed to lie to suspects while questioning them. However, what happened here went a long way beyond that, from lying to Amanda that she'd tested positive for HIV to the lies Stefanoni told in court.

Fortunately, few jurisdictions would agree with you.
What is your position on the Norfolk Four?
Rolfe.
police in every country lie to suspects when theyre "interviewing" them. Its the easiest way to catch them out. It happend to me in the UK . I didnt have a problem with false or implanted memories. No visions either.
I've said before i think my experience makes me biased. It wasnt hard becuase the truth is the easiest thing to say. But for them the truth seems incredibly difficult...i wonder why...

Rolfe was correct (in a previous post). Rai is Radiotelevisione Italiana state television channel 1.

if you're referring to the interrogation forget it, the police are the ones lying.
if you're talking about some inability to recall what exact time in minutes they had something to eat..forget it. meaningless.
if your referring to Steffanoni telling the court and Judges that the luminol wasnt tested for blood, but then later it was found out it was, or that the value of her sample was wrong in court, then yes Steffanoni should be charged with perjury.

thanks, but...
How does Rai g justify a break in the trial?
implicating Lumumba. Then sitting in jail knowing full well Lumumba was innocent and not saying anything. It wasn't AK that got him out it was his alibi.
I'd give her another 20 years just for that

Because the police is convinced that the truthful story is in fact just a lie. And the method to break the accused is to give them the feeling that if they continue to tell this story (wich incidentally is the truth) everything will be horrible for them ("you will be thrown for thirty years into prison, never see your parents again", on other occasions; threats with death penalty or coming into a horrible prison, insinuating to the possibly of being raped there, stuff like that) the accused gets the impression that there is only one way; to confess. And that's exactly the mental state they want him in, the problem is only; it works with innocents just as well as with guilty ones.
In a situation like this it is not easy to tell the truth because the police is doing everything in their power to manipulate you into thinking that your future will be horrible if you continue to maintain your innocence, if you confess though, they can help you …
Other times people just want to get out of the terrible situation of being screamed at and accused for hours and simply don't realize in what sort of torment they are shifting themselves into that way …

Two tweets said the prosecution had an objection based on something it had seen on Rai. A later tweet said Hellman invited Costagliola to his quarters to discuss something on Rai.
No details given.
Perhaps it is only coincidental, but immediately after the Rai meeting the verdict was postponed until Monday.

What I read was that the judge wanted to talk to the head prosecutor (Costa-can't spell-the-rest) about something that had appeared on RAI channel 1.

If in fact Amanda was nowhere near the cottage when Meredith was murdered, how did she know "full well Lumumba was innocent"?

As usual I've just run in, started catching up with the posts and I'm quickly running out again. When I reply to posts in this manner then return home later and see the replies that came after I often feel embarrassed.
But here we go again...
The hard drives weren't totally destroyed.
The cops just refused to pay the money to get them copied or fixed. That's a fact.

They seem to have cancelled the Saturday session entirely, as I read it. Maybe the prosecution wanted to object on the grounds that there's a big football match on TV on Saturday afternoon?

Continuing in the same vein, how long would you give Stefanoni for the lies she told under oath?
