It is Ghirga. He has alway been the lead lawyer.
I expect him to cry, as in the first degree trial's closing argument.

LUMUBA OUTSIDE COURTHOUSE “I AM THE LIVING PROOF KNOX IS A LIAR, I WENT TO PRISON 4 NOTHING. I THINK HER FIRST VERDICT WILL BE UPHELD."
Unbelievable.![]()
Thank you Popper and RWVBWL.
Interesting read. The defense is sane and reasonable. Devoid of name-calling and theatrics, exaggeration and bombast. Let us hope the jury prefers reason to histrionics.
I did not know Filomena's window was the ONLY one without a grid.
Thanks---so Knox will speak today, I presume, and then Fri rebuttal, Mon verdict. (?)
Yes, it does. thanks very much...I was just posting, Barbie mentioned possible rebuttal on Saturday also?
No clarity yet.... except seems consistent posting that Monday is the verdict.

What is he doing lobbying? Lumumba should put a cork in it. Dude, your 15 minutes of fame are about over.
Apparently he doesn't think Pacelli made the point forcefully enough in court
I do think there's an element of the 15 mins of fame syndrome (with his insistence of a familial connection with Patrice Lumumba to Katie Crouch recently, even though this was revealed as false quite a while ago).
But I think he's too incensed by the apparent injustice to be able to see Amanda's 'confession / accusation' for what it is.
But this behaviour, his attitude, all of it will probably mean he will be bitter and angry for most of his life. One can only hope he eventually directs this towards those who are truly to blame for his treatment.
But why would you put the lamp behind the door in this case?
Real burglars, who entered the house during the trial twice, used the kitchen window both times.
Judge suggests only one lawyer per side for rebuttals. #amandaknox Lots of objection.-BarbieLN
I'll bet that got the lawyers rattled....who will be "the One"?
I used to have more sympathy for him, as someone who was mistakenly caught up in this tragedy, especially for having his business taken away (not that going to jail was OK, but it was temporary).
What I don't have sympathy for is his lobbying for Amanda to go to jail for life for a crime she clearly did not commit, just so he can (maybe) get some money out of it. Especially when he knows full well how the police treated both of them. This guy knows what really happened in that interrogation, but he doesn't care. It's his chance to get revenge, and he can't stop pushing for that.
no prob....Yes, it does. thanks very much...
This guy feels no more empathy than the other sociopaths associated with this case. Perugia appears to be a hyena pit.
You wouldn't. The lamp must have gotten there some other way. Perhaps it fell off the desk in the struggle, pushed back towards the bed when Rudy goes out for towels and finally smashed into the wall when the door is kicked open the next day. I din't believe the bulb would have survived. Was the lamp ever tested?
no prob....
What do you think of Hellman pushing the verdict out to Monday?
That was a surprise from the rushed approach he was taking. Hopefully it was just courtesy for the Kerchers and not a need for problems.
Rebuttals are scheduled for Friday. Knox and Sollecito will give their final statements on Monday before the jury goes to deliberation to decide a verdict. Members of the Kercher family are expected to attend.

This looks like a final schedule.
