Telling it Right

Luca Maori between Amanda and Raffaele

For the Meredith Kercher case there have been 39,952 wiretapped calls. A huge cost that the Italians pay. And for what? “For insulting people”, is the answer Sollecito’s lawyer Luca Maori gave.

Wiretapping works like this: they listen to a conversation, then they write a short note aimed to describe the content of it.

The notes for some conversations between Raffaele’s ants and stepmother were read this morning by Raffaele’s lawyer Giulia Bongiorno: “Fanno le stronze” (They are being two pieces of shit). Or “Sempre le 2 vipere, vogliono fare un comunicato stampa” (The two vipers again, they want to do a press release). Or “Sono le due cretine” (They are the two cretins). Or “Ridete, ridete… ride bene chi ride ultimo” (Laugh, laugh… he who laughs last, laughs best).

In the police there are people like this. People like this –who don’t just work but who seem to hate other people– run criminal cases, store evidence, carry a gun. Our privacy, our lives, our freedom are in the hands of people like this.

Let’s see what happened to evidence that was in the hands of these people.
A simple call to 112 made by two kids who had a problem became a call made “after the arrival of the police”. A classic. But that was certainly a mistake…
An important sweatshirt was lost. But it was certainly a mistake…
A shoe-print besides Meredith’s body was read as Raffaele’s. But it was certainly a mistake…
A shoe-print on the pillow was read as Amanda’s. But it was certainly a mistake.
The tape of the interrogation of the century was lost. But it was certainly a mistake…
Four hard drives have been burned. But it was certainly four accidents…
On a bra clasp and on a knife was found some DNA that doesn’t fit any logical explanation. But it was certainly a contamination…
The signature of the murderer, the semen stain, was forgot. But it was certainly a mistake…

And there’s more. The police gave the tapes with the wiretapped calls to the defense, but 29 calls between Amanda and Raffaele and between Raffaele and his dad, Maori revealed today, were missing.
Another accident? Another mistake?

What is your bet, that just in those conversations Amanda and Raffaele were saying how they killed Meredith? Or were they saying something that was proving they didn’t have anything to do with the crime?

Editing the Right Way

One moment, there are also phenomena of “editing”, as recalled again by Maori. I’m trying to read them as mistakes but it’s hard there..

The message was saying “Ci vediamo più tardi, buona serata”. But they told the judge that it was only “Ci vediamo più tardi”. Can it be a mistake?

“13 October 2006″, Raffaele writes on his blog that he was having strong emotions (his mother was just dead, etc.). But they gave to judge Matteini a copy of the page without the year, only “13 Ottobre”. So Matteini thought that Raffaele was having strong emotions right on those days before the murder. Also this editing was by mistake?
Are we still sure that the translator who translated Foxy Knoxy with Volpe Cattiva (Evil Fox) was just a bad translator?  Or someone told him to translate that way?
Are we still sure that the DNA came from a contamination? And twice!

THE PERSECUTION

There has been obstinacy in building the case against Amanda and Raffaele, Maori finally explained.
The cops said that “a source” told them that Raffaele was cutting girls in Puglia. And they went to Puglia, but they didn’t find any cut girl. And someone bought the story of the “source”…
The cops tried to say that Raffaele’s mother had committed suicide, so to make people think he could have an hereditary madness. But Raffaele’s mother died of cerebral hemorrhage!
They have been able to use even the death of a mother.

It seems that we have enough. It seems that we have all been a bunch of morons.
Were we right in having respect for these people? Was America right in not going in with tanks and flame-throwers?

See John, Steffy, Arline? These are the people who are so kind with you, who are so close to you (even too close somethimes, right Steffy?).

You can figure  who you can thank if the myth of Foxy Knoxy was built, if you have been hating the wrong persons, if you have been wasting all your money.

I am happy that some of them keeps making crimes, against me now. The more they do the better judges will understand. Amanda and Raffaele will be acquitted. Edda and Curt will be acquitted. I will be acquitted. All other proceedings against journalists Mignini started have already been closed.

And the trials will be for someone else.

The schedule is being respected. No court tomorrow. Thursday Amanda’s lawyers will take the stand. Friday the rebuttals. Half an hour for each of the three prosecutors and each of the about seven attorneys. So they could be done in one day. Saturday could be left only for the statements by Amanda and Raffaele and the jury could go to the chamber, to come back in the evening with the verdict.

“They Drawn her as Jessica Rabbitt”

Giulia Bongiorno with Luca Maori

The great prosecutors, the Neapolitan-in-chief and the two Perugians, managed to make another joke to the jury.
First I have to tell you: yesterday they absolutely wanted to produce a sentence that, in their opinion, would have guaranteed the life sentence for the two.

To have value of law a sentence must be from Supreme Court, preferably from the United Sections of Supreme Court. Their sentence wasn’t from the United Sections, wasn’t from any Section of Supreme Court. It was not even from a Corte d’Assise d’Appello (like the one we are now). It was from a Corte d’Assise of a llittle town in Calabria! So the great trio wanted Hellmann and Zanetti to learn from lower judges! (and from an obscure town).
Hellmann yesterday said no. But today, as soon as the hearing started, he announced that the trio had sneaked it anyway in the middle of their report!

So Hellmann today said “guess what, dear prosecutors, we noticed that you sneaked the sentence in anyway, but we are going to trash it…”.

Unbelievable. We thought they were serious persons. We give them about 100,000 euro a year.

Anyway, after days of stuttering people, today finally a real lawyer spoke.
It has been a pleasure listening to Giulia Bongiorno demolishing the case only with the strength of intelligence and respect (which, if you think about that, are the same thing).

She completely ridiculed the Prosecution assertions and Massei’s reconstruction of the crime, kind of what I more humbly tried to do with a stupid piece, Conquered by this theory, below.

Bongiorno explained how Amanda was attacked, in that police station, and brought to release a false confession of the third kind (when the person gets to the point of believing what she falsely confesses).  Bongiorno explained they set up a character assassination and absolutely tried to make Amanda appear like a men eater, a Venus in fours, a dominatrix, commanding men with her whip.
But Amanda is the farthest thing from that. In truth she is just like Jessica Rabbit, who says “I’m not bad, they just draw me that way”…
What a shame that besides drawing her they have also been driving her into a jail. A favour to be returned soon.

Raffaele’s lawyers asked the acquittal and reported for slander Rudi Guede (who risks now a minimum of four more years), Kokomani (the one who said to have seen Raffaele, Rudi and Amanda-with-knife outside the cottage), and Giuffredi (who said to have seen the double couple outside the cottage: Amanda and Raffaele, Meredith and Rudi).
He can thank Mignini, who convinced him to testify…
