Curatolo at first testified that the kids were there from 9:30 until just before midnight but after Mignini finished the end time was a little earlier and he wasn't sure they were there the whole time. Several reporters wrote the story at the time.
The presence of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito in Piazza Grimana between the hours of 9:30 pm and 11:30 pm of 1st November was, in fact, reported only by witness Curatolo, whose credibility this court very much doubts for the following reasons.
First, the deterioration of his intellectual faculties, revealed by the responses given before this Court during his testimony (hearing of 3.26.2011) and resulting from his type of lifestyle and from his habits.
[Mr. Curatolo] is a tramp who at the time lived on the streets whereas today he is detained serving a sentence [detenuto in espiazione di pena] for drug-trafficking [spaccio di sostanza stupefacente] and who, when asked why he had chosen this type of life (at times, in fact, such choices are motivated by idealistic reasons), he responded: “…Because … really I’m an anarchist however I have read the bible and I became a Christian anarchist… and so this is what I chose…

Antonio Curatolo, 52, said that a couple he had seen "chatting animatedly" on a basketball court were her alleged murderers, American student Knox and Italian Sollecito.
He told the court that he saw them "around five times" between 9.30pm and midnight on the night Miss Kercher died.
You know, I truly believe Toto did see them there as he has said, but one thing that does bother me, there must have been others there as well, who could say they saw them or saw no one, why didn't anyone else come forward. Once the murder was known, anyone who had been near there would know they were near the place where the English student was murdered, you would think someone would have come forward, but no one did.
