The "one day" is for presentation of oral arguments by the lawyers. The court will have already reviewed the case file and any appeals. My understanding is that the in session court time is rarely more than one day, usually a verbal judgment is given no later than the next day and a written...

The reasonable doubt quote was given when the appeal court ordered the new DNA testing. The court did not share the opinion of Massei on reasonable doubt. Massei chose to believe the prosecution experts over the defense experts and did not properly motivate that decision. That is where the...

How much she had in hand before her 250 withdrawal is important as well, it could have been her last pay from Patrick the previous week, or tips, or an earlier withdrawal. She did indicate she got charged every time she used the ATM so she would normally withdraw the max so she would not have...

Still too many questions for the money issue to mean something to me, in addition to not having the bank statements. I am still wondering if the rent had been paid. Dan O posted a link showing the maximum withdrawal was 250 per day, and AK confirmed this in her testimony that she sometimes had...

Amanda admitted she turned off her phone and explained why. Raffaele made no such admission. The phone company does not track the turning on or off of phones, btw.

No, I don't even know if the rent was paid for November. We know it was not paid at the time of the murder and we know that AK and FR had a conversion with each other and that FR was speaking to her lawyer about getting out of the rental contract. What I am suspicious of is Rudy. His DNA...

Filomena and Laura both had brown hair from what I remember. None of Amanda's shoes matched that pattern.

When was the rent paid and how was it paid? Who paid Meredith's share? There are a lot of questions but for one thing I don't have the bank records nor do I see any testimony on this so I really don't have enough information to comment on it.

In addidtion, is it a safe assumption that the card and envelope fell off the bed when the room was "trashed", or were they there already? If it fell off during the trashing, who does those prints belong to? I think we can assume that somebody didn't make those prints while walking on top of...

I am enjoying the discussion from both dgfred and Halkides about the evidence from Filomena's room. I have a lot of questions about this evidence. I will try to list this and the questions I have. First there is a hair sample and presumed blood substance taken from the broken window, Reps 198...

Good to see the discussion has re-opened here. The Hellmann report is common sense, the same common sense that many on the side of innocence have been pointing out for several years.

Burleigh's book is based on a quote from Lord Byron, I don't have it handy at the moment, but he said Italy has the fatal gift of beauty. ETA: IIRC she used just the first part of this quote, maybe she should have used the rest as well: Italia! O Italia! thou who hast The fatal gift of...

My first impression of Rep 140 posted above was of a drip going down almost a foot in length. However, the more I look at it, the streak may just be an artifact of the wood. The color of the wood presents some difficulty in making the determination on this. Attaching a blowup.

The trace on the side of the door is interesting. It looks to me to have been possibly been made by someone brushing the side of the door as they entered the bathroom or possibly something they were carrying (like a bloody towel). Any theories on this? The sample from the light switch seems...

Nina Burleigh has a lot of information in her book on the Masonic theory and Mignini. Here is just one quote:

I believe Mignini's delusions are more Masonic in nature than satanic. Here is an interesting article that quotes Mignini's closing remarks in Guede's trial and something about the Order of the Red Rose...

I have no doubt they already knew his name and just wanted her to say it.

Apparently she didn't realize that until it was too late. Sometimes lying cops produce lies from the non-cops. It's not the best way to get the truth, though it may be the easiest way to close a case.

She figured out the cops were lying liars.

It depends on how you interpret her testimony. This part is pretty clear, imo.
