The controls have been suppressed, no doubt in my mind.
A positive control (via a lab standard mix) was amplified for each PCR run. The positive control was then subjected to electrophoresis and generated an egram which was given a particular serial number, which we can identify in some cases or approximate.
The egram collection bears a range of sequential bates stamps, that likely corresponds with the order in which they were submitted to the paper court file. In all cases, the egram bearing the serial number that would correspond to the positive control is absent from the bates-stamped egram collection.
Well all this would be available in the EDF's. Not just positive controls but also negative controls which would be the more important data concerning contamination. The positive controls confirm that the machine is working properly...nothing more.
It is complete nonsense that at this point the defense does not have the complete data files of the lab...to include the EDF's which could then be used to produce the complete picture of exactly what happened. Then there could be NO missing eGrams...NO missing control data. Everything is time and date stamped and it is fairly secure...that is... not able to be easily manipulated AFAIK.
If it is the case that these egrams are missing as you state then this is evidence that the defense and the independent experts never had the EDF's.
And forget the knife. This test on the blade is invalid in every country in the world except apparently for Italy. No testing for such small amounts of sample was possible in 2007...at least not without special equipment, handling, training and test kits...none of which were available to Stefanoni.
The bra clasp is only somewhat more reliable except for the multiple contributors found on that hook portion....which in a logical, intelligent world would tell even the dumbest monkey that oppsss...somehow this item got CONTAMINATED! No other explanation. And yes this is also a low template number sample and the evidence was destroyed by the "experts" who stored it in the absolute worst and most incorrect way...and so it is destroyed and therefore UN-retestable...which also makes it .....INVALID...not that it was that valid to start with.
Forgets the guilters "science" not that we even need Guedes DNA to hang him. But why toss his? His DNA samples are not LTN/LCN versions collected and then destroyed in a one off test. His samples are large and incontestable and more importantly are unexplainable with any story since he did not belong there in MK bedroom or inside her body for that matter.
If the prosecutor wants to retest the knife and perhaps open it up...fine but the defense needs to demand an answer as to why the prosecution and Maresca both objected to this during the last appeal...and after they explain their "logic" then fine ...once again agree to the further testing. I say this with the least of confidence though since I know who has been in charge of this evidence during the interim.
If the SC wishes to redo the whole Massei trial then the defense would certainly have to prepare a more comprehensive appeal document. One which attacks the points that the SC (illegally) used to determine its result. Nara may not have seen anything but these DH's are using her as a time stamp when she never looked but only guessed at the time...and they are using her to prove that at least three people were involved in this murder when in fact she never bothered to look out a window...or if she did she saw zip! Time to do the sound tests that 48 Hours played with the Cilino guy.
For that matter ...time to get a wall climber up that wall and into that room...
Time to push for the evidence that shows a staged break-in. Not just words of police or Filomena...the defense should have crushed them on this topic...Why do the pictures reveal no glass on top of anything? How about because it was NEVER ON TOP! IN fact nothing indicates staging except for the ramblings of a crazy prosecutor. So go in the window...that window or one built to exact specs....this is easy not hard.
Stop the nonsense...5 AM is not the middle of the night and AK mother would want her to call in this situation (of discovering a break-in) at any hour. Stop allowing these logically deficient judges and jurors to get away with instance after instance of "stupid logic". It is enough. If the SC feels the English virgins need more review...fine...bring em in and start treating them as they deserve to be treated. Miss so and so...did you have sex while in Italy? Did you drink every day and night or just every night?
I would have already filed an appeal based on the SC decision to use Guedes separate conviction to make a judgement about this matter. That is just impossible...is there precedent anywhere in the world for this?
Finally someone needs to ask Mignini why he is talking to God about Frank Sfarzos case. Can anyone email the fat fu...errr prosecutor and get the details of any case in the system? Which this particular case confuses me. A prosecutor filed a case against Frank for X for something he reported in Y about Z but somehow Mignini and his court was harmed but then Mignini collects damages while the state covers the case for his side...except for his lawyer we can presume...

What a dirty corrupt people. They can destroy anyone they want...and it is as if a cat is toying with a mouse before he bites its head off...
Where is the CPJ? Where are these court documents? Does God have them? He might. He admits that he has a stolen thumb drive. Isn't it illegal to posses stolen property?
