It's not the same.

Any one think the judges might have tried to make the "timeline" dictated by the supreme court and found out that . . . whoops . . . it doesn't work?
 
Thanks. I'm also watching CNN on my TV, as they said they will show the verdict, but wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything. LOL
 
Interesting. I'm perusing a book; The Italian Legal System: An Introduction
By Mauro Cappelletti, John Henry Merryman, Joseph M. Perillo. Some very interesting things. For Example. "the Italian conclusion that parties have no duty to confine themselves with the truth and generally have no duty of disclosure".

I'd expect it to take days of jury meetings just to identify what aspects of the reading needed to be clarified. No way, no way could people read the those transcripts and "decide" on a verdict in a few hours.

I'm heartsick that Raff left. That's the writing on the wall. I knew it was looking bad, knew the SC report rendered this whole exercise absurd... I just hoped for a ray sanity.

No point for him to stay really. He's probably nearby eating uncooked pizza.
It's after 8 pm there...

Getting awfully close to the time Meredith died.

I propose a moment of silence in her name for her Perugia TOD which is 3:30 ET, 2030 GMT,

I thought the same about the silence thing...We don't know if it wasn't just a clerks idea to remind people that theyre should be silence inside the courtroom during reading of the verdict, but let's just read too much into it and remain hopeful that they will deliver an acquittal. After all, who would be applausing if they would be convicted? I can think only of Maresca, the idiot.

I realize it's not the same. Yes, it would be better if they had heard testimony.

But if they didn't hear testimony, reading the transcripts would be better than assuming the rantings and speculations of all those prosecution lawyers had any relation to reality.

Mostly because at least one or more people are arguing innocence (not guilty). In this case, I think it's more than one person.

The timing of the Massei's court, meant it must have taken a little while to convince the "not guilty" camp to vote "guilty".

The Hellmann decision came just after noon last time here in Seattle, IIRC.

How about if they recorded the interro...er discussion (deliberations) for later review?

A recorded deliberation would seem transparent.

No. Flashlight man has much lighter eyebrows and the eyeglass prescriptions are totally different.

Here is camera boy (left) and flashlight man (right) side by side


ETA: Oops, you were referring to a different video and not camera man squatting and looking at the blue rug where the clasp was found in this video. Have you got a link to your video?

It is from a set of 18 videos I downloaded from somewhere, but I am not sure where. I also have the set of 2 long videos that were posted here recently. I will try to find it in there later today. Another distinctive thing about cameraman is the little tuft of dark hair protruding slightly from the center of his hood.

" ...The retrial in Florence has renewed questions about the effectiveness of Italy's justice system, given doubts about the handling of the investigation and key pieces of evidence. When Knox was first convicted of murder, there was outcry in the U.S. that she was wrongfully convicted, based on shoddy evidence. When she was acquitted, there was nearly as much of an outcry in Italy that the courts had succumbed to American pressure... "

Machiavelli says that it is Amanda and Raffaele that are on trial, not the Italian justice system. This commentary goes against that idea.

Speaking for myself, if AK and RS are found not guilty, I will not have a much better attitude about their system, at least in small provincial towns such as Perugia, than if they are found guilty.
