Better version:
Alessi testified that Rudy Guede, who has also been convicted of being involved in Kercher's murder and is serving a 16-year sentence, told him that Knox was not involved in the killing.
According to Alessi, Guede said that he and an unnamed friend visited Kercher to try to get her to participate in sexual acts. When Kercher denied them, Guede's friend forced himself on her, and Guede also participated, Alessi said. At one point, the friend pulled out a knife, and then Guede, who was holding Kercher at the time, noticed she had started bleeding, Alessi testified.
Alessi told the court that Guede tried to stop the bleeding, but that his friend urged him to leave. Alessi said Guede remained by himself with Kercher for a while, but eventually left her injured.
Another witness Saturday was Marco Castelluccio, a mafia member who testified from behind a screen because he is a protected witness.
Castelluccio said that he also heard from Guede that Knox had nothing to do with the crime.
Another inmate expected to testify is Luciano Aviello, who is serving a 16-year prison term for mafia-related crimes.
Aviello is expected to say that it was his brother and Guede who killed Kercher.

But is anyone going to take these testimonies seriously, and give them weight? Or mayhap it is simply a mechanism whereby to raise reasonable doubt....:waitasec:
