Mig stole all the straw wine hats.

That's the only explanation.

Wonder if he realizes that he just ruined the "Amanda's DNA on the handle, Meredith's on the blade" chant.

If I were the defense, I'd make a mixed tape of that and play it again and again and again and again in court while displaying the infamous knife.

HE is NOT getting one of my straght jackets, rubber straw hats but I am truly wishing for a prison outfit i heard he looked good in blue :D

OMG!!:eek: :gasp:

Well, unless this journalist wants to wind up sued and hounded like Frank Sfavaro, he must be telling the truth. And yes, I can imagine - if I have grasped Mignini's psychology and animus correctly - that he would think indeed that "Amanda might theoretically have instigated the murder while even staying in the other room."

Oh, so that's why AK's footprint is outside the threshold of AK's room, supposedly facing the inside of the room! I get it (slurping from my wine hat).

I don't mean to make a joke of MK's suffering because it's not funny at all, but come one, Mig, seriously?

Seriously? RS and RG just decided to go in there and follow AK's instructions on how to kill MK, as if they were playing Twister? Seriously?

Why all the TV interviews suddenly?

ETA Talking to the newspapers etc

Where are our pro-guilters to help us understand why Mig is still correct, honest, forthcoming, and the best prosecutor of Italy?

ETA--hope I ain't speaking too soon. I tend to get skeptical about things in "the Sun," at least the one printed in the united states.

OMG

Wonders how fast this writer/paper is hauled in by ILE and charged with slander

:floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

Funny, yet sadly true. It seems like there might certainly be repercussions from this. If Mignini's statement wasn't in quotations I would have just taken it with a grain of salt.

Yes, agreed - but one wonders at the audacity of the reporter. I doubt they would quote him if he had not said it..........

This is the crux of it. If the High Court has ruled that: " Kercher was killed by more than one person in a brutal and orgiastic attack." then it would take some real independence and audacity to rule now that Guede in fact acted alone, or that 2 others must now be sought in Perugia. This is dark indeed.

There is only ONE hope for AK and RS regarding their appeals IMO:

That is (which you guys/gals MIGHT could possibly influence if not just in a tiny way like through letters to him, and appealing to his lawyers) for RG to admit he killed her or was there, with help and NAME the other person or persons.

Why has he not 'saved' them? What does he have to lose at this point? Could he not just say AK and RS were not the others there, that at least he had seen that much?
Admitting his offense does offer some benefits while in Italian prison IIRC.

Why does this remind me so much of Nifong before the hammer dropped on him?

Bob Graham, the reporter, has been involved for a long time in the making of a documentary on the case, which may or may not have aired in the UK some time back. I'm a bit fuzzy on the details. From what I remember, the documentary was to take the stance that she was guilty but the more he and the director delved into the case the more they became convinced of their innocence and the documentary took a turn. Apparently this has infuriated some of the people who run PMF because they were interviewed for it back in the day.
I don't blame him for publishing Mignini's statement. It's rather newsworthy and possibly detrimental to the prosecution's case. And I wouldn't be surprised if legal action is taken. What Sfarzo wrote wasn't nearly as bad. The problem is, Mignini is quoted and as long as they have a recording of the interview Graham should be protected. All JMO.

IF AK and RS were indeed NOT present - I believe they were not, but cannot be 100% certain - then Guede would of course do them a good turn by admitting so.

Possibilities of why Rudy maintains his silence on this matter :

1. They really were there. (I do not think so, but it is possible although to me improbable.)

2. They were not there, but others were: Guede does not want to open up a can of worms about who else was. As Perugia Shock's Frank surmised, owing drug $ and bringing dealers or junkies in is a thing of shame to Rudy.

3. Guede was a lone wolf killer, and does not want to be viewed as such. His 13 years do not amount to much if he was. Easier to allow Knox and Sollecito to help buffer the blows of fortune.

This goes both ways. If Rudy acted alone, why not come out now and just give us the whole story? I think it's more complicated than just deciding to come out with the truth to get that burden off his shoulders. And I haven't read anything implying that he could get any sort of favors or reductions at this point by fully disclosing the details of that night. I think we'd all like him to just "fess up already".

RG has always said that AK was outside the room and now apparently Miggi agrees.


Mignini said: "Amanda might theoretically have instigated the murder while even staying in the other room." Until now Mignini has been adamant Knox was the instigator and the most violent of those involved in the horrific killing.

Plus, I've seen some cases where it takes years and years for the perp to own up to doing it on his own and then clear the innocent person involved. 48 hours just did a case on one where a man didn't do that until he was about to executed, causing the innocent convict 18 years in jail.

I guess websleuths ought to shut down every single thread then, since our discussions have no bearing on any cases.

No, not at all but it is slightly amusing (if not for the murder that is the REAL point of the discussion) that intelligent individuals would think that the behavior of those 'supporting' AK (most of which her own defense team has basically begged to stop) is both reasonable and authentic. IMO most are just 'yanking the chain' of good-faith posters and don't honestly 'believe' that AK and RS are innocent.
Also IMO it is or should be EMBARRASSING the lengths that the PR firm has obviously gone, it is with CNN's lack of control of a 'show' on their station, it is with the excuses made here/family/bloggers/so-called journalist/interviewers/etc. A girl was murdered, it shouldn't be this way IMO.

Why not admit:
1- They had zero alibi.
2- Both lied at some or multiple points to police and investigators.
3- AK accused an innocent man.
4- AK's behavior/clothing in court was inappropriate.
5- They had a fair trial and there was no 'conspiracy' against them.
6- They were somehow involved, but didn't kill Meredith.

Even one would be a good start, not that it is expected.
