Goundreport is not a real source either.

You need to stop filling your heard with this garbage.
So did the prosecution talk about missing clothes or not?

Like, do you understand how the prosecution's information got to the defence in the real world? They assembled 10,469 pages and gave Ghirga a copy. Really. You can purchase this filing for 1 euro per page. The defence didn't have to go around to each department and beg for it, and no department has an opportunity (or incentive) to withhold anything.
This is complete BS. Hellman had to straight up order them to stop stalling and turn over documents to the Independent Experts.

Exasperated, he sent her a handwritten note on April 14, 2011. It ordered Stefanoni to send every file requested by his independent experts, Drs. Stefano Conti and Carla Vecchiotti, from Rome’s Sapienza University. They want to trace exactly how she achieved her results in the (then) unaccredited Roman police lab. The defense has argued that the samples, found on the alleged murder weapon and a bra clasp, were either too scanty or resulted from contamination. She testified that the DNA traces were ample enough and that contamination has never occurred in the Rome crime lab.

How desperate do you have to be to prove she didn't do it if this is going to be where you go.
So answer this question. How many luminol hits were there and how many of those luminol hits tested for DNA? I've posted what I believe is true. You're describing L8 as one area when your other quote describes L8 as being a part of exhibit 183. Is L8 the print or is 183? I'm just trying to clarify what we're both arguing.

I've stated what Amanda's appeal states so lets' try to figure out how you're saying their wrong. My guess is they knew the evidence better than you but if we can prove them wrong that's fine.

I find it fascinating that you would argue anything that tested positive with luminol but negative with TMB and for DNA would even be germane to the murder, btw.

You're talking about the appeal now. We were talking about the trial.

You're talking about the negative controls. We were talking about TMB for the Luminol prints, which wasn't part of the review.

Awesome cite of Dempsey, though. Corroborated on View from Wilmington. You're aware that the item they were "withholding" was the negative control tests they had already filed with Micheli three years prior?

Amanda's appeal summary
Many items will produce a positive luminol test result. It is very easy to obtain false positives. Many items contain iron that will set off the blue glow of luminol. Dr. Stefanoni confirmed that to prove that blood is present, you have to test for it. Dr. Stefanoni claimed that no testing was done. In July 2009 the test records revealed otherwise. The luminol findings were tested using tetramethylbenzidine, and the tests were negative for all tracks. The luminol findings tested negative for blood.

See above. I don't think they are making this up for the appeal I think this is what actually happened. You can't definitively say she lied and intentionally withheld the evidence for certain but it seems that is a reasonable interpretation.

And it doesn't take much to discredit Stefanoni. Just watch the collection videos and read the independent expert report. I think she wanted to get a specific result and go it. I think that's a trend you see in the investigation where they find the forensics that prove their narrative and ignore those that refute it.

Why are you too stupid, even though you've been told 40 times now, to understand why a summary (not even the legal argument, the summary) of a defense brief is not a "source?"

Would you be happy if they had just convicted her using the summary of the prosecutor's brief and then just gone home and left her in prison? That's what you're doing here.

That sounds fake given TMB is not confirmatory test blood and the only people who think it is are pro-Amanda people.

Find me a source that is not injusticeinperugia. If this is true it would have been reported in a newspaper.

We could use the prosecution appeal which they also filed. The point you're missing is i'm not using the appeal to prove my argument. I'm using the appeal to show that things were argued when the pro-guilt side here is basically saying stuff never happened. Do you see the difference?

If someone says the 112 call was never debunked at the trial and I use the appeal to show where they discuss that it was debunked at the trial I'm using to show that in fact information was presented at the trial in relation to that specific point.

Also I think it's fine to assume unless otherwise refuted that the evidence itself not the interpretation of what it means when mentioned in the appeal is probably accurate.

So if Amanda's appeal says that 6 out 9 of the luminol hits tested negative for DNA this isn't a point that's in dispute, this is what the evidence was at the trial. They're not making an interpretation they're stating the evidence itself.

Do you see the difference? They're saying this evidence didn't exist.

WTF are you talking about?

- You said Stefanoni suppressed that she had administered a TMB test.
- I quoted the passage in the trial reasoning that proved you wrong.
- You said you were "pretty sure" regardless.
- I said **** that.
- You then said that two years later she "withheld" from the appeal reviewers totally unrelated documentation for the negative controls, which led the reviewers to believe that the control tests were not done. They "withheld" this documentation because it had already been filed with Micheli's court, but eventually gave C+V another copy.
- I pointed this out.
- You say you think "this" is what actually happened -- what's "this?" You've just conflated two events, two years apart, in two investigative areas.

Is your mind really this garbled, or are you trying to con people?

You realize Stefanoni is certified while Vecchioti is a non-certified academic who failed her certification exam.

I've already said in this thread that TMB isn't a confirmatory test but rather another presumptive test. What you've failed to do is tell us why they use it after Luminol. I don't think you want to because it proves your logic on this isn't up to par.

So your argument is that there were no erroneous interpretations and the independent experts were wrong?

This is what you posted.

Did Stephanoni's Team Perform a TMB test?

Yes. Nor did she say she didn't. Massei 257 -258:

Quote:
Quote:
To a question from the Public Prosecutor, she confirmed that a genetic profile of Knox had been extracted from Exhibits 178, 179, 180, and this biological material, which could not be confirmed with certainty as being human blood, could have been, she affirmed, "saliva or skin cells" (page 78); the negative result of the TMB test (tetramethylbenzidine) made it impossible to determine exactly what material had been analysed. She did, in any case, confirm that the profile of Knox had been found ("Certainly, Knox's genetic profile was found", page 79).
She added that, in her own experience, analyses performed with TMB on traces revealed by Luminol give about even results: 50% negative, 50% positive, and added that the acronym TMP indicated a colourimetric reaction which occurs in the presence of tetramethylbenzidine, which had been substituted for the carcinogenic benzidine; the presence of blood can be detected by means of this reaction.
The she here is Dr. Gino, Amanda's expert. You realize that right? If you do realize that why would you say

It seems as though you believe she is Stefanoni, yes?
