Knox's judge explains guilty verdict

21. "The Monster of Florence" by Douglas Preston and Mario Spezi

If a person takes out time to read this account of a series of murders in Florence you will quickly appreciate the absolute incompetence of the Italian legal system. Giuliano Mignini who took over the Knox case is absolutely batshit crazy. His prosecution of the Monster of Florence cases was beyond anything that could be imagined by a sane person. He believed they were all attributable to satanic rituals. Without a shred of evidence he held people for years in jail under a system that defies any sense of justice. When Preston and Spezi investigated the murders they were charged by this crackpot. Douglas Preston, was able to leave Italy, but has vowed to never return since he could come under investigation and arrest.

This is the same prosecutor who came up the bizarre theory of the involvement with the Amanda Knox and her boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito. Where did he come up with the concept of satanic ritual? Once again they could be traced to the blogs of Gabriella Carlizzi based on prayer conversations with Father Gabriele, a charismatic priest that has been dead since 1984. A review of the case is contained in the Afterword of Preston’s and Spezi’ book. It follows the same course as that of the investigation of the series of murders in Florence in which numerous people were charged with the crimes and held for months and even years before being cleared of the trumped up charges of Mignini’s corrupt imagination. The person, a hopeless drug addict, who committed crime confessed and is in prison. There not one shred of evidence to substantiate the his theory of a ritual satanic murder. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter to the Italian judicial system. Knox has been tried in the Italian and British press with sensational unfounded accounts of sexual promiscuity. Rather than being dismissed by the legal system, it has been allowed to corrupted the trial. Don’t discount the fact there exists a deep resentment toward the United States by many citizens that is feed by outright jealousy and the citizens have little problem believing the worst.
