Vixen not even the judge that changed Curatolo's testimony and forgot to establish if anywhere at anytime a murder knife was tested and DNA of the victim was found but no blood at all, concluded the partial shoe print from Rudi was Amanda's. The incompetent boobs never found a shoe to match the prints after searching far and wide, not even in Amanda's closet.
The purpose of the investigation of merchants and shoe manufacturers was not to propose the ASICS as the shoe that produced the print in question; the objective, more modestly, was simply to indicate how the dimensions of the print (held to be sufficiently complete and not merely partial) were in themselves comparable to women’s shoes available on the market, with the consequence of providing support for the hypothesis of two types of footwear at the murder scene, above all Rudy Guede’s indisputably identified shoe, and, on the other hand, a woman’s shoe, whose dimensions, being indicated as between size 36 and size 38, are compatible with Amanda Knox’s shoe size, which is size 37.
With respect to Boemia's professional opinion, Professor Vinci, who is Raffaele Sollecito's technical consultant and who performed an in-depth study of the print in photo 105 as well as other studies on different matters, holds a contrary opinion.
Vinci’s report arrived at a completely different conclusion from that of Forensics. Comparing the sole of the right shoe of Guede’s Nike Outbreak model 2s with the enlargement of the 105 print found on Meredith’s pillow (cf. tables of the technical report), the expert witness reconciles imprint 105 with the pattern on the sole of Guede’s right shoe.
The print would therefore have been left by the co-accused’s *=Rudy’s+ second shod foot, namely the right one [shoe] (the arc-like elements being indicated as
344
corresponding to the homologous elements of the pattern on the anterior part of the right shoe, [368] in effect abandoning the methodical approach of Forensics, who want to attribute the print [as being] the part [of the foot] positioned near the heel rather than to that [part from] the forefoot) , with the result of excluding from the murder scene the presence of a co-participant who necessarily would have worn a small-size shoe, in considering the dimensions of print 105 as fully complete.
The Court, on this point, takes notice of the opposing conclusions without expressing a specific opinion. It cannot in fact be excluded that Guede alone tread on the cushion lying on the floor, to the exclusion of Knox (the smaller dimensions of the right foot can be explained by the characteristics of the underlying surface, the pillow, having a non-rigid structure and where the material of the pillow-slip may have been not perfectly straightened out, but, on the contrary, soft and as such determining the curvature), to whom [=Knox], actually, one [must] attribute moving herself about the murder scene essentially in bare feet, as shown in the part of the report that examines the genetic investigations that were done on certain biological traces and the positive Luminol prints.
The police weren't looking for shoes that matched. Just basic dimensions. These are alleged to be experts but they don't know the basic ratios of shoe sizes? No prosecution expert showed or Vinci was wrong. Also, the question is raised: If Amanda's shoes (or any woman's) left the print on the pillow where else did the print show up? Nowhere.
I'm moving to the latest Italian fiasco and I now believe Meredith committed suicide and the footprint was hers.
