Amanda Knox’s Request for Different Judge Shot Down

This case if the worst travesty of justice possible. They just do whatever they want and abandon their own laws. These kids are innocent and the prosecutor cares not! It’s all about saving face for him. He can’t admit he was wrong! This newest development just makes me sick!!

“Everything I have said in regards to my involvement in Meredith’s death, even though it is contrasting, are the best truth that I have been able to think.” (Amanda Knox, 6 November 2007).

Those who have followed this case know that the much of the well deserved criticism of the Italian judicial system in Amanda’s case has landed on a corrupt prosecutor named Giuliano Mignini. (It is not just me who is labeling him as such; he was convicted and sentenced to prison by an Italian court earlier this year.)
Not to be forgotten, however, are a series of incompetent judges who because Italian law largely prevents public access to court records have for the most part avoided public scrutiny.
“Judge” Giancarlo Massei presided over Amanda’s trial and wrote the 427 page motivation document detailing why he felt she was guilty. Despite its length the document is devoid of substance and reads like a cheap crime novel. A recurring obsession for him is the idea that the lack of physical evidence against Amanda Knox could be explained by a careful and deliberate cleanup of the crime scene. Despite all these efforts there remained one item that the Judge steadfastly maintains does not need to examined, a large semen stain found underneath the victim. I am not making this up. See page 381 of the Motivation document.
Massei also saw no problem with jury members who according to multiple eye-witness accounts choose to sleep each day in court. Did this “judge” ever tell the jurors that the standard was guilt beyond a reasonable doubt? If he did, then Juror Angela Irene Ceccarini didn’t listen. She stated the next day that “It’s hard to see Knox and Sollecito doing this, but it’s possible… we can all drink too much then get in a car and drive.” Ms. Ceccarini goes on to make vain, narcissistic comments about how difficult the decision was for all of them.
And then there is the strange case of the “judge” who reduced the sentence of the real killer Rudy Guede from 30 years to 16. This “judge” somehow came to believe that Guede had apologized to the family of the victim. Guede, who’s DNA was inside the victim’s vagina, had actually apologized for not doing enough to save the victim from her real attackers. Never mind that he fled the scene of the crime, that he never knew the victim before as he claims she invited him over for a date and on and on into absurdity.
And last but not least the subject of the above article, Claudia Matteini. During the period before the trial, Perugian authorities out did themselves releasing false information about the case to local reporters. This so angered a real judge form that Seattle area named Michael Heavey that he felt obligated to speak up. He wrote: “A Perugian judge, Claudia Matteini, was caught up in this false speculation and has repeated and added to the false speculation in her opinions.
From Larry King Live to CBS news to the pages of the New York Times, commentators openly labeled the Perugian tribunal a “kangaroo court” and a “public lynching.” Don’t expect justice when the judges are rotten.

The reason this trial is happening is to get it on record what the police want said and to imprison Amanda Knox for her life. Everything in this court will be hearsay and hearsay only. I heard this and I heard that says the cops. It’s easy to determine the mind of the court because the interpreter FOR Amanda Knox has joined the suit. She was suppose to be FOR Amanda instead she was part of the police frame up, and now has shown herself as such. Where are the interrogation tapes? That is the law.

I am truly hopeful the networks will start giving Miginini and Matteini and this prosecutor the notoriety they are seeking. Questions like why are the laws being disregarded in this case? Why has the court gone forward without video or audio verification? Why did you deny Miss Knox house arrest? Why did you allow the police to hold Raffaele in solitary confinement for 45 days without any evidence and then all the time of his trial though not convicted. Don’t you believe this rash and harsh treatment. If not than why isn’t Miginini in jail waiting his appeal instead of walking around? Isn’t that a double standard?

This entire case needs to be moved out of Fortress Perugia into the hands of people who don’t all work in the same building.

Not to be forgotten, however, are a series of incompetent judges who because Italian law largely prevents public access to court records have for the most part avoided public scrutiny.

This makes me sick just thinking how Amanda is sitting in a prison for NO reason. If the judge would of let the defense have an indepentent review of the evidence I guarantee you Amanda and Raffaelle would not be there right now. I pray that Italy changes when the appeal comes up. Because it is impossible for Amanda have been in that room and not left one piece of DNA, and they know there was no clean up. I don’t understand how they can get away with this. Especially the interogation when she was mentally and physically abused, and they have no recording and now they are going after her for slander as well as her parents. Somebody really needs to stand up and do something about this.

Being in prison for a crime you didn’t commit is possibly the worst thing that could happen to you. The justice system needs firmer failsafes that prevent innocent inmates.
Imagine the torture you would get in prison for rape or pedophilia crime you had nothing to do with.
Horrible

Some time ago that I was coming to your blog and I must say that it is always so interesting!

Super blog. It’s great very nice and I’ll come back often, very super fantastically beautiful.

I am an avid watcher of murder/mystery shows and I have to say I have never believed a defendant to be as innocent as I have in the Amanda Knox case.
This is what a modern day 21st century witch-hunt looks like. She is innocent, and that Judge Mignini is a very scary, irrational man. No telling how many people hes convicted on the bases of his credulous, superstitious/religious biases.

No one will ever forget what happened to Meredith Kercher. She will always be remembered as a good college student whose life was taken from her. But, to accuse one person, who may not be guilty of the crime just so that they may convict someone for the case, seems wrong. They found the person who murdered her.

She was sentenced to justice

what was that about the alibi issue ?
I pray for Amanda’s release !
