you absolutely have to read up on the chief prosecutor Giuliano Mignini and his previous work on 'The Monster of Florence' case.
the tactics he uses and the way that the prosecution can lay out their theory (in this instance YEARS) before any court proceedings have even taken place, have made an enormous difference in the general idea that AN, in particular, is a beast/harlot/whore/psychopath.
she wasn't shopping for 'lingerie' in the days following the murder as way publicised but had to buy clean underwear as all of her clothes were locked in her flat (which was the murdersite).
i've watched the footage of them 'snogging' and they're clearly doing it in a comforting manner, lots of little pecks on the lips, not an lusty snog in any way... very misleading.
'foxy noxy' is a nickname given to her for her skills on the soccer pitch.
the DNA evidence is wholly refutable, mainly because she lived in the same place as the murder scene and the way the key forensic evidence was gathered was a long time after the initial search for evidence. DNA dust is very very different from fingerprints, semen and blood (all found to convict Rudy Guede). Even if the murderscene was 'cleaned' as the prosecution suggests, surely they're not such master cleaners that they could remove all signs of any bodily contact with the victim but leave direct evidence of Rudy Guede's presence. The bra clasp was found on the floor 46 days after Meredith was found, that's 46 days of being kicked around with the other debris on the floor, as documented photographically. There's were also five different people's DNA found on the clasp, not just the three accused.
Rudy Guede's criminal background isn't widely publicised and his CLOSED-DOOR trial was fast tracked with plea bargain... he was a known burglar who carried a knife. he'd been interrupted in the process of burgling several properties with a knife in the run up to the MK murder and on each occassion, released by police with no charge. there is suggestion that, with his drug dealing history, he may have been a police informant, hence the obvious leniency (he was caught breaking into the same nursery school twice in two days, both times interrupted and carrying a knife- the police decided to put him on a train out of town instead of charging him...........mmm interesting).
The police themselves were the first people to implicate Patrick Lamumba, suggesting his name to AN during interrogation after reading a wholly benign text message from her to him ('see you later'). Their theory was that he was the third man in their sordid 'satanic sex party gone wrong' (a bizarrely similar theory to the Monster of Florence case by the way).
I absolutely believe that she was interrogated illegally. The police say there's no recording of this interrogation and she wasn't provided with a lawyer... the only way they've gotten away with this is because she initially came to the station voluntarily, as a witness- legally a grey area.
Her behaviour, to me, is more of an innocent in an unusual situation. Taking pictures of her smiling in court, when the case has been going on for 2years, is very misleading. Is she expected never to smile at her family in the courtroom or her defense team, who must know her intimately by now. The fact that owning a vibrator or being sexually active was even taken into account, just underlines the weakness of the actual physical evidence... they've relied on drip feeding rumours instead.
The forensic evidence includes a 'murder weapon' that isn't even a match to a bloody imprint left on MK's bedsheets. it was also found 5 days after the murder, sat on a detectives desk for several days before being posted to the lab in an ordinary box. Hardly foresically safe.
The 'bloody footprints' are actually Luminol glowing footprints found in a hallway, and some may have been Amanda's, it is hard to know for sure because they were only compared with her feet, and found to be 'compatible.' Again, no controls were done. Meredith, Laura, Filomena (her other flatmates), none of the other resident's feet were compared to these footprints. The footprints were tested for blood, and it came out negative. No blood. So, why are they important? Amanda lived there, after all.
Important reading involves the Mario Spezi case and Douglas Preston arrest.
