Reagan Arthur Of Publishers Little-Brown Also Has Liability For Malcolm Gladwell’s Defamatory Mess

How can Gladwell and his editor Reagan Arthur laugh off the DNA on the knife?

Meredith’s DNA was found on the blade of a very clean knife that Chief Inspector Finzi found in Raffaele’s kitchen. And surprise surprise, whose DNA was not only on the handle of that knife but in the grooves of its washed blade? Amanda Knox’s.

So Meredith the victim’s and Knox’s DNA are on the same knife. The other knife was lost.

And more DNA: How can Gladwell and Reagan Arthur not respect Professor David Balding?  He is a world renowned DNA expert at University College London. Balding said that Raffaele’s DNA is definitely on the bra clasp. He dismissed any notion of cross contamination as to how it got there.

So both Knox and her boyfriend’s DNA show up on a possible murder weapon and on Meredith’s underwear that was torn from her body! Oh, my friend, there are signs these two were there.

Mr. Gladwell is outshone by the Italian investigators and the DNA experts who were more cautious of the facts than Gladwell.

And this is just the DNA evidence. It’s a minor part of the proof of guilt. There’s more.

Out of her own mouth Knox destroyed her own alibi and was proved a perjurer in many matters. She placed herself at the crime scene by her own words, said she was supposedly hearing thumps and thuds as her boss killed her roommate. Even in her fantasies and falsehoods she puts herself in the cottage! Her poor boss was nowhere near the crime, as later proven.

Further, Knox’s own boyfriend said she was not at his house on the night of the crime. Her lover boy told police that she went out that night and he didn’t know where. To police he also said, “She asked me to lie for her”.

It’s all very suspicious.

Meredith’s DNA was on a swab from a groove on the blade of the knife. Knox’s DNA was on the inside of the handguard of the handle and also on a swab of both sides of the blade nearest the handle.

The latter was a swab taken by the 2011 “Independent Experts” but which they did not want to test because, they said, it would have been unreliable. It would be unreliable, they said, because it was Low Copy Number.

Despite that it was in fact tested later, with a repeat amplification, with equipment that was actually available to the Independent Experts at the time they took the swab. The Independent Experts were either incompetent or corrupt. They were certainly not abiding by their specific instructions.

Surprisingly Sollecito’s DNA was not found on the knife, not even on the handle, although it was his knife and despite Knox having claimed that he had prepared fresh fish for a meal on the night before the murder.

David Balding said that the mixed DNA from the bra clasp definitely included Sollecito’s. He did not comment on the issue of contamination. See his article “Evaluation of Mixed-Source, Low template DNA Profiles” on the internet dealing specifically with trace 165B.

Hi James,

Professor Balding has commented specifically on the issue of contamination with regard to Sollecito’s DNA being on Meredith’s bra clasp. He said on Andrea Vogt’s BBC documentary that his DNA can’t be explained by environmental contamination.

He also said there was a “much greater likelihood“ that the DNA on Meredith’s bra clasp came from Sollecito and that’s the reason why it’s “extremely strong“ evidence against him.

He told Chris Halkides that people walking in and out of the room etc would be unlikely to contaminate the bra clasp. On the BBC documentary, he said contamination from passers-by isn’t an issue and that he has taken that into account and it’s extremely unlikely.

Professor David Wilson has sent the following tweet to Malcom Gladwell:

“I’m far, far less convinced than @Gladwell is about #AmandaKnox in his latest book as my review below reveals.“

Good catch Machine!

Such catches are very useful as we extend our pro-justice pro-truth network. Twitter momentum does seem to be building against Gladwell.

Also it is very obvious that the book-signing tour has been made all but invisible. Gladwell’s tweets say he attended a first signing this morning, but not where, and future appearances are not being advertised right now.

Here is a record of the tweets we sent today to Gladwell and his editor Reagan Arthur - the Machine and PatAz also are originating tough tweets. See the hashtag #amandaknox
