Prosecution on the Ropes in Amanda Knox Case:
. . . The prosecution has already cross-examined the independent experts appointed by Judge Pratillo Hellmann. They reviewed the DNA evidence for the first time. Now, its the turn of the civil plaintiffs, Francesco Marcesca for the Kercher family and Carlo Amanda is a she devil Pacelli, representing Patrick Lumumba, Amandas former boss, in a slander case. Both are known more for their demonizing of Amanda and intense interest in her ho-hum college sex life than in scientific acumen, but they will question the experts.
This week the defense will also ask questions of the experts, then the court will take another break before closing argumenta and the verdict. Patrizia Stefanoni, the police scientist who tested the DNA, will not be allowed a return visit.
Marcesca has often praised the Kerchers for the elegance of silence, while describing an American family with a daughter behind bars as a clan. Not only did he march out of court when Amanda defended herself in court, but he has rubber-stamped every prosecutorial move and said many ugly things in the Kerchers name, even claiming God himself hungered for Amanda and Raffaeles conviction.
The Bible says that the judge is a minister of God, and inflicts a just punishment on those who do evil, Marcesca said after the verdict. Those who cause suffering must be made to suffer by having their freedom taken.
What will he say if justice is done and Amanda and Raffaele go free?
