Supporters of Amanda Knox speak on Facebook

He started off by discussing how the police were inappropriate. Even before Amanda was arrested. How legal documents, which were supposed to be secret were fully printed in the press and how the only people who had those documents were the police. He also spoke of the 4 books which were published here in Italy, complete with documents that only the police had. Even things of Amanda’s which were seized by police but not part of the evidence, like her school notebooks. 

He went on to speak of how the police mistreated Meredith, Amanda and the family. How they had no respect. How the scientific police, who are paid by the government, and as such are supposed to be impartial, but in this case were absolutely not. How they acted like they work directly for the prosecution, and how they just tried to find guilt in Amanda and Raffaele rather than the truth. How they went about arresting Patrick, without checking facts first, and in the end, made Perugia look bad to the world. Then he attacked the slander charges. He said “Slander? When can a sleight be called slander? Let’s talk about what was said, by the prosecution, by the scientific police, by the local police, and by the other judges here, about Amanda and her family. The fault in Patrick’s arrest lies in the police, and so does all slander.” 

He moved on to the knife and how the theory of it was absolutely without merit. Why would someone use 2 or 3 knives and discard all but one? He made fun of Stefanoni and her notes and all the various things she has stated then changed, regarding the knife. 

Then the LCN DNA. He said that other countries are in the process of deciding if it should ever be used. He talked about a case in California and how they ruled against the use of LCN. 

He said that this case is the first case in Italy where LCN has been implemented and there are grave considerations just on that alone, especially given the fact that there are no policies and procedures in place for its proper use. The other countries who do have policies in place are still considering not using it at all! 

He talked about how Mignini stated that the position and condition of Meredith showed that there was more than one person involved in the murder, but when the coroner Dr. Lali said that the body did not show that more than one person was involved, Mignini fired him and replaced him with someone who agreed with his assertions. He said “I wonder why he was really fired??” 

Then he talked about how Mignini thinks that Amanda was the one that hit Meredith’s head against the wall. How does he even come to this conclusion with no evidence of Amanda in the room? How Mignini said that there was a shoeprint of Amanda on Meredith’s pillow but after having the police search all of Amanda’s shoes and even going to the stores to see if they could find a women’s shoe that had a print which matched, they found nothing. Then he said that if you remove the crease in the pillow, it matched up perfectly with the print found on Rudy’s shoe. 

He spoke about the cleanup that the police say occurred. “If Amanda and Raffaele are so cleaver, how could they clean up all traces of themselves, leaving all of Rudy’s evidence behind, considering that much of it is invisible, and yet forget something like a lamp or the bra clasp?” It is much more plausible that the lamp was used by Rudy, and the bra clasp was contaminated by the police in their many undocumented visits. 

There was a recap of some things which were covered yesterday. How there was supposed to be glass on top of things on the floor, and yet, the video which was shown via spheron photos showed no glass. He also recapped the discussion about Amanda’s bathroom and the assertion by the prosecution that Amanda could not have had a shower in there because it was so bloody. Yesterday the actual condition of the bathroom was shown as was found by the police. It looked like a regular bathroom, with a slight brown smudge on the carpet. Thanks again to those spheron pictures taken by the police. 

He went on to slam Meredith’s friends and all the bad things they said about Amanda when many had never even met her, and how each and every one of them said the exact same thing in court because they were coached. He also talked about how others witnessed these same friends all chatting lively outside the police station and the house, displaying behavior which was less than grieving. 

He covered the various Giornale Di Umbria witnesses and their weaknesses. Then talked about others who conflicted with each other. How the two witnesses who said they heard screams, didn’t hear them at the same time, or at the time that another witness said she saw a black man running away.
