It keeps people discussing Briar's agenda, instead of discussing important issues like what happened to the gold watch Rudy stole, why Rudy was released, why the Perugian police even knew who Rudy was when the Milan police contacted them, how Rudy circumvented the alarm at the lawyer's office, how he gained access to the school, was he a police informant.
Rudy BRUTALLY MURDERED Meredith. Meredith, who just like Raffaele and Amanda would never hurt anyone, who was just a student preparing for an honest life, who just wanted to come home to a quiet apartment, study a bit, and go to bed, had her whole beautiful life and future ended in an instant by a cold heartless savage Rudy and his knife. Rudy, who had absolutely NO business being there. He broke in. He was a burglar. The cottage was dark and empty. He even admits to being there around 8:30 pm and seeing nobody was home. He was a burglar. He broke in. It is what burglars do! I repeat. It is what burglars do!! Let me repeat it one more time. It is what burglars do!! His choice of entry does not depend on Briar's opinion, it depends on his own opinion. He was a burglar. He not only broke in, he broke in the same way he broke into the lawyer's office by climbing the grate to get to the second floor. He was even more visible there, by the way. He used large rocks to break windows for entry. He was a burglar. It is what burglars do!!
So ignore all the evidence that 'poor' Rudy broke in and cut Meredith's throat Briars. Respect for Meredith? CRAP! Protecting Mignini, yeah.
