Fast Pete, I have just discovered I can log on from my work pc again, hurrah!

That picture is amazing… that is not a smile… that is a look of someone saying “I know what you did last November… and we are in this together, my knife wielding ex boyfriend”.

I would love to see what his face was like - judging by the pudgy cheeks, it looks like he is smiling back.

Welcome back to the great Love Wolf who has been deeply committed to justice for Meredith and very much for peace for her family for many, many months now.

And I am sure the insightful psychologist Miss Represented will be mulling that extraordinary grin for a few days…

Peter, If I were Amanda’s lawyer I would be seriously contemplating sticking a piece of paper on my desk with the words ‘bang head here’.

That really is extraordinary.

It’s a shame we can’t see Raffaele’s face.

We see her facial expressions and body language only when she arrives or leaves. I can only imagine what the jury is seeing eight hours a day, twice a week.

Dear Amanda,

They say you’ve learned Italian well by now but what part of “processo per l’omicidio di Meredith” remains unclear to you?

Wow.

I think that the domestic was the last witness who saw AK in the late afternoon on 1st Nov ?(As well as later calling up on the intercom to the flat).

She could perhaps testify as to what knox was wearing on the day of the murder?. This could be important if the prosecution is to show that she later tried to dispose of, or clean, her clothes? RS was particularly confused about what knox was wearing ?. If I were a juror I’d want to know.

Peter, I’d be grateful if you could clear this up.

Are there are 2 launderies involved here ? could be wrong, maybe they are the same .. but

1. The (coin/token operated) launderette you show in the photo, I think knox was reported as seen here?.

2. A ‘Take In’ Laundry, where RS asked for a shirt to be cleaned quickly. The owner said RS was a regular customer and the shirt appeared to have already been cleaned. It is the owner of this one who is scheduled to testify.

The court has refused a request for bars to be put on the windows of the house, but will allow the defense to visit the house to take some measurements, later the jurors will also visit.

Perhaps the defense think they are on to something?, maybe that (or the breakin) accounts for the grins on both defendants, I’ve seen a set of 4 photos, including the one above, and one of RS grinning back in one of the reports earlier today.
