Here are some police officers arriving at the cottage.
Apparently you are referring to the arrival of the Carabinieri. They aren't just arrving at the cottage. They are driving down the wrong side of the street with one of the officers on foot. According to the timestamp on the CCTV camera the time is 1:22 PM.
Quote:
Some police officers also radioed the station because they were lost. The station then called Knox.
After the body was discovered the Carabinieri couldn't find the place so they called dispatch for directions and then they called the cottage, right. But you're leaving out the pertinent details here. The phone was eventually passed to the Postal Police who stayed on the phone with dispatch until the officers arrived. That call started at 1:29 and lasted 296 seconds. So at 1:34 PM, we know there are no Carabinieri at the cottage.
But wait how can that be because the CCTV shows this set of officers arriving at 1:22 PM. It means that the timestamp on the CCTV camera isn't 1:22 PM, it's at least 1:34 so the timestamp of the CCTV is slow by 10-12 minutes.

The pro-Knox people want to claim that the police officer's who needed directions are the same police officers on that tape. There is no reason to believe this is true but the entire argument hinges on it being true.
If you assume that the police officers on the tape are the ones who needed directions then you have to conclude that the timestamp on the CCTV is wrong and adjust it.
I know that logic and reason are frowned upon by your side, but try to follow along for a minute folks. If those are
not the first officers to arrive at the cottage, that would mean the first officers arrived
before 1:22 on the timestamp. If the first officers arrived
before 1:22, and we know there are no Carabinieri at the cottage until 1:34, that would mean the CCTV camera would be
even slower. If the CCTV camera is
even slower that means the postal police caught by the CCTV camera arriving would have been
even later.
Just to summarize, Henry, that would be
bad for your argument that Raf and Amanda called the police after they arrived because you need the Postal Police to arrive
earlier not
later.
There is no more fail available to you on this topic now that you once again are arguing against your own position.

If you then go to where you see what appears to be the postal police arriving and apply the same time correction you have them arriving later than they claim to have arrived.
The CCTV camera as I've demonstrated was at least 10-12 minutes slow. The timestamp on the CCTV when we see the legs of what we believe are the postal police arriving at the driveway is 12:48. Adjusted correctly that means they arrived around 12:58, shortly before 1PM, shortly
after Raf called 112, and incidentally
exactly when Judge Massei says they did. He got this right.
Quote:
All of this hinges on proving the CCTV clock is wrong (a common theme) and to prove the clock is wrong you need to assume that the possible police car in the video is the same police car that was lost and needed directions despite that lack of any reason to make this assumption. There were a lot of police cars at the cottage that day.
And again just to be clear, Henry's argument is that we can't know these are the cops that called. But it's clear they are arriving at the cottage. They are driving down the wrong side of the road one is on foot and the car starts to pull into the driveway before the camera cuts off.
So again, if these are not the police in question, that means the police who did first arrive, which concluded the 296 second call that ended at 1:34, arrived before 1:22 on the timestamp. For every minute before 1:22 they arrived it is one minute later that the postal police arrived and one minute past when Raf called the police.
So we don't need to refute Henry because he's refuted himself.

This is a terrible argument that would never have survived cross-examination. Bongiorno is too good of a lawyer to put this testimony up. The reason she tried is that she knew that a guilty verdict was inevitable at this point
Quote:
so she wanted to make a series of requests that would be denied because every judicial decision made increases the grounds for appeal.
That is the only reason this thing even exists.
Even though the defense did not appeal any sort of request denial because the judge agreed with their timeline, right.
