Justice for Meredith – postscript

There have been reports, mainly put out by Sollecito’s counsel who has already been admonished for false claims and by Knox herself, that they “will appeal the verdict” and that this is only “a first step”.

No it’s not.   It’s a second step and Bongiorno knows it.   This was not, despite the MSM desperate to claim it was, a “retrial”.   It was a First Appeal.     There had been a First Appeal before, presided over by Judges Hellman and Zanetti but the Supreme Court threw them out.

So this was that appeal.    That is – it was Knox’s own appeal she was conducting through her attorney.   And it was Sollecito’s too.     Now, in exactly the same way that after the annulled First Appeal, the losing side can appeal direct to the Supreme Court – that’s what actually happened last time – that appeal can only be on legal grounds.

That is – they have to allege irregularities of judicial process.   Good luck on that because this court this time had something Hellman’s illegal court did not – directives from the Supreme Court itself.    And they were very careful to operate within those and take care of judicial process, knowing there would be this coming appeal.

And of course, who is the appeal to?   To the Supreme Court.

The tech we need, the tech they want us to need

As we’ve said more than once, give them what we want to give them – and not what they want – and they will not come:

“Future glaciologists, perhaps hundreds or thousands of years from
now, will be puzzled to find several hundred meters of yellow hose
embedded in the Antarctic ice sheet or in an iceberg afloat in the
southern Pacific Ocean.”

Today’s verdict

The plan was to do a post yesterday and then one later, after the verdict.   Two things altered that.

1.  One was the constant obsession by the MSM to portray Knox but not Sollecito as some sort of celeb.    The Mail today is a disgrace, going on about her hair makeover.   Whatever  happened to the murdered Meredith?

2.  To state ahead of time my attitude and prediction.
