"The police were so determined to pin the crime on K&S that they didn't look for any other suspects"
And I ask again, why ?
Why scapegoat a couple that are guarenteed to INCREASE the glare of international spotlight, and maintain that spotlight for years, given the snail like pace of Italian justice, Â in order to get rid of the media glare and reduce the potemtial for the countries force being seen in a negative light internationaly, asap ?
As picking scapegoats go over here, well off (S), well connected (S), white (both) pretty (K), international media attracting people (K), have not so far appeared to be a firm fave of the Italian police.
As a conspiracy theory it flies in the face of all the known and well documented flaws of the front line of the Italian justice system. It is totally illogical when you consider that the most likely reaction to the combo of K&S as primary suspects would have been "oh fuck, that's the next decade ruined by stress, insinuation, worldwide critisim and my career/pension being a political scapegoat if it doesn't end well for the Italian Nation's bella figura on the world stage."
There are so many shades of the Franzoni case (as well as many other high profile cases) here, blinding media glare, an intense external pressure to find a less explosive, divisive, hot potato defendant, a defendant pointing fingers at less well heeled/well connected people claiming they did it, outlining their potential motives (but unlucky in the lack of availbale black immigrants in order to make the more cynical form of blame shifiting kick into gear), much muddying of the waters in the court of public opinion thanks to external opinions as to the value/validity/existance of evidence, half the country deciding that watching CSI left them qualified to evalute and opine on the quality/value of the forensics. And the insistance of the family that Franzoni was being scapegoated by incompetant police/prosecutors who couldn't be arsed to investigate properly and just grabbed the first easy taget they could, despite Franzoni being the polar opposite of an easy target (white, mother of the small victim, well heeled, well connected etc. etc.) and her being charged guarenteed extensive, long term, more intense media scruitiny, aspertions and large scale critisim being the police/prosecutor's lot for years to come as a best case scenario, actual harm to careers/pensions at worst.
So I am less inclined to assume that the choice of stratagy to discredit the police/prosecution emented from K's family and think there is every possibility that both her and S's defence teams are playing the "do the same thing again and again while expecting different results" game.
Which IMO  was a very high risk stratagy, considering how in other high profile cases it has not only failed to secure a sucessful outcome, it has led to defendants, (and their family members) being charged within the criminal justice system and found guilty of additional charges, like defamation and "legal process fraud" which probably translates as perjury or trying to pervert the course of justice, or similar) AND both defendants and their family members having to cough up massive damages  via the civil court to the alternative suspects they shove into the spotlight.
So by all means carry on insisiting that the police/prosecution have no real belief in K&S's guilt (and merely decided to choose scapegoats that would guarentee them the worst case scenario of potentially a decade of media glare and worldwide critisim from the international court of public opinion, to the detriment of of their state postion and pension and liberty if, under the intense scruinity, their deliberate scapegoating was revealed) if it suits.
It won't make one whit of difference to the final outcome, Â if the evidence presented is considered suffcient up to three times over. Other than result in additional charges being upheld against K&S, and charges brought against their family members/freinds who have been persuaded by the defence team to be the mouth peice of the smear campaign against the police/prosecution/random person they accused of the crime, Â without any solid evidence to support their proclamations.
Just like it has done in the past.
Personally, being a white, well connected in legal terms, well heeled (once the extended family is factored in) forign media attracting sort of immigrant, I'd rather be accused of a crime here, rather than the UK, (and certainly more than the States).
