I dunno....I was saving up my points for Xmas gifts and I like my avatar and I like using my profile to track independent comments and the chron setting Newest/Flat was working fine...but I understand some people are using Mac and those funny browsers they have and RobertM runs Windows 3.0...so the Halo thingy would be quicker for them but remember what happens that page gets full...member...refresh with 2000 posts...done that a couple of times...jes saying.

Most of this stuff falls under the heading of litigation support. There are many areas tech, paralegal, and information technology--for instance Kermit took several concepts of the case--locations of suspects, location of evidence, geography and reduced many pages of documents to just a couple of slides: comprehension through info tech.

I don't talk about my cases or clients but if what you pay for a gallon of gas goes up maybe I just got a chunk of work.

Giallo=yellow and refers to the yellow covers of sensational crime fiction (paperbacks). It's hot or fantastic crime or maybe sleazy crime. Example of a "yellow" crime fiction cover.

Crossed my mind. If so like RS lawyers...get twenty police seperated by about three yards...start down from the girl's house and make your way through the trees all the way to the cell phone drop off and stay away from the road as much as possible until you get the door to the gate. As Pinecone suggested...bring a sniffy dog.

Kermit: You work is terrific. Your cell phone map is still one of the best pieces of work on this blog. Thanks.

Indeed Loz and that is what the lawyers will do at the trial assuming AK and RS are ever charged.

You are not slow Loz.

First who knows if there is even an inconsistent statement. Just authorities leaning on her.

Secondly if she did say something which she shouldn't quote "know about" it could have been a dumb lucky guess if she was trying to be the detective. , I will bet when all the facts are out such as they ever will, a good amount of the thousands of posts which were just "speculation" will end up being right on the money factually speaking and yet none of us was there.

Yes, of course CW and the interrogations. It just harkened back to this post from Branston Tang of a Porta-a-Porta tv show clipped below :

Ok - some beef on Porta A Porta on Italian TV - the criminologist Francesco Bruno is suggesting that AK is completely innocent - that she may have come home after the crime took place, and then for some reason got herself involved by exaggerating her role to the police. The same kind of syndrome where, after a high profile case, unbalanced individuals give themselves up as the perps, when they have nothing to do with the crime, but just want to feel involved. Make of that what you will. Oh, and the DNA on the knife won't stand up in court because it's not blood. Branston Tang | 11.19.07 - 6:16 pm | #

Thanks RobertM....excellence.

So this is the rub: "when they asked her about something particular about how Meredith died, she had alla [described?] the position of the body and alls [described?] things about the room of the crime when speaking with some of the victim's friends," Or what we call hearsay in the US and can only be unravelled with the direct testimony and cross on the stand.

This reminds me that earlier in the posts there was some expert on the case who said the kitchen knife was not the murder weapon and AK has inveighed herself into the details by her comments (at the police station) in essence playing junior crime fighter and making herself the center of attention to the others waiting to be interviewed.

And that is awful cause... as I was trying to point out-- the sister city thing is a real thing between the two cities. Did you know the father of that girl who wrote the OP ED NYTimes piece (and yes Dad is a Pulitizer Prize/National Book Award winning writer for the Times) raised his children in Italy when he was an overseas correspondent...or that he wrote a very well known novel about Italians starting a winery from scratch in Washington state...and you know Sophie is over there...or that there are many Seattlites who go to Italy every year and that Perugia and Umbria in general are the destinations...my next year summer vacation is in Italy, planned long before this evil thing.

It would be more pleasant to talk about Palo Alto and I would rather not hear Perugia and think about this either...history, popes, archeology, natural beauty, cafes, dinner and friends should come to mind.. No, I will not put a Canadian patch on my bags.

I understand your sentiment and if the court decides she has culpability and spends time in prison no one here except maybe her family and friends will shed a tear.

Why rue the day Xin? You mean for Seattle? It looks like at this point that the murderer is an Italian unless you disbelieve all the reported DNA evidence.

Perugia/Seattle connection is well known here and has led to very strong cultural and even business associations between the cities. In fact my favorite coffee (and widely bought and liked here) was created by a man from Perugia, who came to Seattle and founded Torrefazione coffee and cafes. He sold the business after it became very beloved and now resides in Perugia.

People will not argue much about sports, finance or weather but get them started about the best coffee and the claws come out. I am drinking Torrefazione Sardegna now.

He sold the company to "guess who" a few years ago but has opened a new venture Cafe Umbria in Portland to much fanfare.

Sorry Amanda is an idiot but is she a murderer?

PL declined to talk further too. I chalk that up to attorney saying "you got nothing to gain given how they treated you...decline to help them further ensnare you." Amanda does have something to gain...maybe house arrest at the nunnery (all puns intended).

CW

I think she will address questions with the attorney trying to keep her in control. I would tell her to STFU but may be they believe she has a chance to go to house arrest or something. Amanda is Amanda's own worst enemy in this case...not because there is loads of proof that she is guilty but because she is Amanda.

CW: ignore the points...nobody is going to come out a winner in this case. If someone changes the content of your posts that would be a problem but you do not need any stinking points.
