OFGS, you think you would such and such, but truly, unless you have been in the situation, you have no idea what you would do.
That is the world upside down. The defense asked for the security footage from across the cottage (showing Amanda arriving there at 9pm) to be removed from the trials, and they succeeded. I doubt there is security footage showing that Raf and Amanda did NOT go to the cottage that night. The defense would certainly have brought it up. That it was never mentioned during the trials is telling enough. The road from Raf's apartment to the cottage is a very small and dark street, ending up at the basketball court from where you go down some steps and cross the street to the cottage. The phones were found at a small rural street outside the city walls. Where are those security cameras supposed to be? There are probably cameras far away from Raf's apartment in the city center and this was just another attempt by the defense to distract the investigation IMO.
lease: for TRUE Justice for Meredith ...
We went over everything, and I am still pretty sure that blue jeans don't reflect as white clothes on CCTV
I understand just fine. The defense was allowed to put in requests during the trials (like they did with the stain on the pillow). Had their been any footage they would have certainly brought it up.
See the video.
Why would the 'innocent' Raffaelle even describe such an event? It is far more likely that a drug-alcohol cocktail affected their memory than a joint they smoked in the afternoon. Who is the one providing links and quotes here? Where is the detailed description of Raf's alibi #5? And it isn't like he didn't have any help to reconstruct the night. He had lots of help.
I don't know because I don't know exactly what powers were at work during the previous Appeal. The Galati appeal document describes all the errors and more importantly the illegality of the Appeal Court decisions. It is an embarrassing read for the appeal judges since almost everything they did was completely illogical and often illegal. One example is that they did find more DNA on the kitchen knife but they put no importance to it and refused to further test it. That by itself could already be a reason to declare the whole Appeal trial illegal. All JMO.
It has already backfired as Raffaele has claimed that his own family (who believe Amanda was involved in the murder) tried to make illegal deals with the prosecutors. His lawyers, the prosecutors and his own father all made statements that this isn't true. In other words, his own father now claims his son is a liar.Snipped :
I am going to have to go to the local B&N and read it for free -- LOL !
I think Raf's book is going to "backfire" on him -- and Amanda -- big time !
I have not read the Appeal, however I have read about it at TJMK, which is excellent !

Alibi #1 - We went to a party.
- False. They didn't go to a party that night.
Alibi #2 - We were watching a movie during the night.
- False. After checking computer logs, investigators found out that this movie was watched earlier in the evening.
Alibi #3 - I was on the phone with my father during the time of the murder (11pm).
- False. After checking phone records, investigators found out that this call was much earlier in the evening (8:40pm).
Alibi #4 - I was browsing the internet during the time of the murder.
- False. Logs from his ISP showed no activity.
Alibi #5 - The new one from the book. I don't really remember because of that joint I smoked the afternoon but I surely would have remembered the doorbell.
- False. JMO
