This is before even questioning whether or not the boyfriend being on the internet at his house is relevant. I don't even care if the boyfriend was there, it just seems she is consistently out of a reliable alibi of not being at her apartment.
So she doesn't have a good alibi and is linked to a really weird incrimination of a random dude for no clear motive. This is before all the weird evidence in the room and claims of evidence contamination come into play. I mean it's not condemning but it certainly involves complicity in my mind. I would also like to add that those questioning the evidence are as much bombarded by the counter-media surge by her lawyers so how good, or bad, the evidence actually is, isn't available to us either.
My real big question here is: if Rudy Guede is the solo killer, and he already is condemned to jail. In fact it'd take a meteor to break his ass out of prison. What incentive is he getting to keep Knox and Sollecito in the story/why doesn't he just say exactly what happened without the bushy haired stranger involved. I mean it's too condemning to have your bloody handprint + DNA all over the body, and poop in the toilet. So if his delusions of freedom are pretty much gone why doesn't he tell the real story?
And finally, I think him taking a dump is potentially a really crucial part of the case in terms of determining what kind of connection he has with amanda and the boyfriend. You have to picture the scenario in which you go to a girl's house, rape, kill, and then take a dump. Behind that is a confidence that roomates aren't coming home, that you wouldn't hold it in to get rid of the body. Just a whole lot of comfort issues for a stranger in someone elses house.
Does anyone know if they will be releasing all the transcripts and evidence from the trial? It would be real interesting to hear exactly what the juror heard.
Do you have a link to the story that describes Amandas association with Rudy?
Re: her alibi (and alibis in general):
I can go see a movie at noon and unless it really moved me, I can forget what it was about and the title by dinner. Add a couple of days and I won't even remember which day I saw the movie. What reason do I have to keep a precise record of where I went, what movie I saw and every movement in between? The details are meaningless to me, so I won't remember them and if I am pressed to recall them, I could see myself contradicting myself right and left, not because I'm lying but because I simply can't remember all the exact details, why would I? It was just a freaking movie for gods sake?
Wait, someone was killed at my house on that day around the time I say I was at the movie?
Now, it's really important I know my every movement on the day in question. The problem is the day I went to the movie I actually did go to the movie, didn''t kill anyone and had no reason to track my every movement.
Probably a bad analogy, but my point is that if Amanda and her boyfriend were'nt involved, had been smoking pot, partying, having sex, etc, it would seem to me that it would be easy to forget all the exact movements and actions they took on that evening and contradict their stories. Of course you would expect someone who is guilty to contradict themselves as well so she could be lying like you said.
One of the many conundrums of this case
