Well, Stefanoni lied about the negative TMB results.
Not as far as I know. Massei's court became acknowledged about the TMB tests as Stefanoni spoke about them. It was Stefanoni who brought them in, she reported them and then answered questions on them
Also, Stefanoni lied about the PCR quantification and doing negative control tests.
Absolutely not, for what concerns negative tests. It is instead Vecchiotti who lied: the whole Vecchiotti / Conti argument about the knife hinges on the allegged lack of negative controls. Vecchiotti and Conti asserted the negative controls were not done. And this is false. The negative controls were done. Their argument about contamination is based in a great part abput this lie.
The fact that negative controls did exist, and thus Vecchiotti's assumption was false, was implicitly acknowledged by Hellmann's court, as they refused to admit the negative controls with a peculiar motivation: because after all they were not necessary, since a contamination could have occurred outside the laboratory.
For what concerns PCR quantification, again this is a myth, it is mystified both by the defense and then by Vecchiotti and Conti themselves.
In fact, there is no lie about PCR quantification in Stefanoni's report. There is not a single lie in her report, not a single false datum. All her data are identical to the one found in the C&V report.
In Stefanoni's questioning of 2008 - not that one before Massei's court, but a previous one before the preliminary judge - Stefanoni said she did not recall the amount of DNA on the knife, she said she *thought*it could be - highlight the concept "she thought", as far as she remembered - that could be of the kind of hundreds picograms. But Stefanoni also said "it could be a low copy number", and when asked when do you start considering a peak "low" she said "I start to be more careful in interpretation when peaks are below 50 RFU".
Vecchiotti considers inadmissible itself the presence of alleles below 50 RFU. Which is absurd compared to the standards of Carabinieri's RIS laboratory, for example, who only consider low a peak below 35.
Stefanoni also stated she did not recall the datum about the quantification of the bra clasp DNA. She stated before Micheli and in one occasion before Massei’s court that she did not have the records with the quantification data with her. She never provided false data.
The cops lied about getting to the house before Raf called 112.
"The cops" is not a person. When I have a "lie", I need to have a person.
I see no logical reason to think any of the postal police lied. The postal police said they arrived at a certain time, and obviously they just could not know if they had called the Carabinieri before, so how can they lie about something they don't know? Maybe the time written in their report was wrong. Maybe.
Instead, it was Sollecito who lied, as he told (twice) to the Carabinieri that "nothing had been stolen" and "there was no theft". How can you guess something like that? And some minutes later, he told quite the opposite to the postal police, as he acted as he was surprised to discovr that nothing had been stolen.
Also, the cops lied about not going into the murder room.
Again "the cops" is not a person. There is a contradiction about the number of steps made in the room, between the testimonies of Luca Altieri and that of Postal Police inspector Battistelli. Hardly the trial will depend on the steps made by Battistelli in the room.
I'm not sure that Mignini and Comodi lied (although Comodi very well could have been complicit in the Stefanoni lies and Mignini could very well be lying about the interrogation). They did, however, engage in serious unethical behavior: they failed to disclose exclupatory evidence, were biased in their prosecution, made prejudicial statements with no basis in evidence, and were responsible for false, prejudicial "leaks" (lies) to the presss.
Absolutely not. "were responsible of" leaks is an ambiguous and false concept: there have been leaks, but there is no element nor logical reason tu suspect about the prosecution, and they are irrelevant to the case.
Hardly I can see anything "prejudicial" or unethical in their statements.
On the other hands I've heard a unethical reports in the US media reporting false claim and statements about them.
So, obviously, people should be charged with wrongdoing. Unfortunately, it appears that Italy has no system in place for correcting such abuses by authorities.
We are watching different movies. There is no wrongdoing nor abuses. There is plenty of authorities who go after abuses, but there is just no abuse here to check.
There is not even an "innocent" Amanda Knox by the way: she was in the right place for three years, and was the one condemned to pay the trial expenses, by now she owes 40.000 euros to Lumumba and more to the Italian state.
