Stop posing questions like a grade 7 homework essay .
You mean stop posting questions that you can't or don't want to answer. No problem.
The larger issue is that Briars, Machiavelli, and the rest, simply try to chip around at the edges, but continually refuse to offer a comprehensive theory of the crime that handles, with integrity, all the elements which would have had to have been there to even suspect the pair.
By "suspect", I do not mean the normal notations a competent cop would put in his/her mind to recall later... meaning the 1,000,001 things which initially don't add up, are hard to place, but which you have to remember because later any one of them could be the key to unlocking this....
I think I've come to the point of thinking this is the kind of "suspicion" people like Grinder talk about....
But Briars talks as if he (Briars) is himself immune to cross-examination! He feels he has a right to simply assert things unchallenged! He feels he's immune to natural questions which naturally arise out of his, quite frankly, cockamamie opinions about things. For instance, a brief snippet audible from Knox behind Raffaele during a 112 call... for some reason this becomes the Rosetta Stone for Briars when Briars won't answer even the most basic follow-ups to his own "theories".
You put it well, Poppy1016. The key to understanding guilters as guilters, rather than simply as people who hold an opinion of guilt, is that not only do their "theories" not survive much scrutiny....
... the notable element of guilters is that they refuse to even address the issues raised.
With the possible exception of Machiavelli who engages in dietrology, with the claim that Knox could choose not to sleep, and therefore was (acc. to him) immune from the bad effects of no sleep! Or that Guede was Knox's pimp. Machiavelli, when pressed on those issues, either denies he ever said them, denies he ever implied that could be the case, denies that he said "it is possible that..."...
Briars, on the other hand, just doesn't even address the issue. Or, and here's the REAL hallmark of a guilter.... they simply make things up. The latest was this "sealed room" business... that Mereidth's room was sealed for those 47 days...

Are you aware that the clasp moved across the room durin the 47 days from when it was first seen? How did this occur in a "sealed" room?
Close on the heals of this is the guilter claim that it was "the defence" who delayed the recovery of the bra-clasp for 47 days. Yes, a few of them claim that. The obvious glitch in that "theory" is that until Nov 8, the two never even had lawyers..... so for the 1st six days that the Scientific Police kicked the bra-clasp across the floor, there wasn't even a defence to object much less manipulate things!
When pressed they simply invent things.... much like Massei did at the first trial. Briars has also not addressed Stefanoni's own admission, at trial and under oath, that she could neither confirm nor deny that she, herself, had been a source of contamination. All the while Briars, in the face of this, says, "Prove contamination."
It's whack-a-mole time....
