FREE AMANDA KNOX NOW, or Is It Time To Boycott Italy?


I have written about Amanda Knox on this blog many times in the past, and if you aren't up to speed on the topic, use the search window at the top of the blog on the left.

Knox and her boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were arrested in 2008, then wrongly convicted in a kangaroo court in Perugia, Italy in 2009, and spent a total of four years in an Italian prison waiting for a trial and then an appeal.  On appeal, their convictions were reversed and they were freed.  Knox returned to Seattle to resume her college studies, and Sollecito returned to his studies in Italy.  However, the prosecutors appealed the acquittal to Italy's highest court (there is no prohibition against double jeopardy in Italy).

The real culprit in the case is an unhinged, ruthless and delusional prosecutor named Giuliano Mignini, a bully who has wrongly prosecuted many people for imaginary crimes that they did not commit.  These were the trials related to the Narducci case, where 21 defendants were all acquitted.  Knox and Sollecito, however, were prosecuted in Mignini's own town where his delusions were accepted at face value by a non-objective forensic team.  Some of the members of that team are now being prosecuted themselves, for investigatory irregularities, according to Seattle PI blog:
The police officers contend she was given every comfort, including tea and biscotti. They’ve accused her of slander, but their credibility is in question, since they’re in hot water themselves. Four of them, in fact, have been suspended. That includes Amanda’s nemesis, police chief Monica Napoleoni, plus obsessed officers Lorena Zugarini and Stefano Gubbiotti. According to the Italian press,they’re being investigated for ”abusive investigations,” namely poking into the police-protected computer system and threatening the Perugia court’s expert on minors. “She spied on the psychologist,” reads one headline. “Super cop in trouble.” These actions were undertaken “following Napoleoni’s petition to deny her husband paternity rights in their divorce litigation and after the expert’s unfavorable report.” The lawyer for Patrick Lumumba is also in trouble for a case involving the possible mishandling of client funds.
When these folks don't have evidence to convict, they merely make it up, as they did in the Knox case.

There was no evidence whatsover to tie Knox and Sollecito to the crime.  No fingerprints, no DNA, no weapon, no motive. Mignini merely imagined the whole scenario, and when I say he is delusional it is not an exaggeration.    This evil little man should have been removed from his post as a prosecutor a long time ago.

Mignini, seeking to establish his reputation as Europe's biggest asshole, appealed the appeal that freed Knox, and today the highest court in Italy will do one of three things:  reaffirm the lower court's acquittal, reverse it, or order a second murder trial for Knox and Sollecito.

Every American should be fed up with Italy's banana-republic judicial system and its endless persecution of an innocent American college girl.  Today had better be the end of this persecution, once and for all.  If it is not, it is time to begin a serious boycott of Italy, Italian tourism and Italian products.

Giuliano Mignini is an evil man, Italy is a Mussolini run Fascist country, the Fascism under Mussolini has never died in Italy.

Slovenia which use to be Communist and happens to border Italy would never have tolerated the garbage that goes on in the Italian legal system, heck the Slovenian legal system is even stricter than the American legal system in regard to criminal convictions, heck if I had to choose between visiting Italy which is still Fascist or Slovenia which use to be Communist but is now a free society, I will pick Slovenia over Italy any day.

And to think 10 years ago I would have preferred Italy over France when it came to if I am ever able to afford to go to Europe but I'd rather go to France than go to Italy, I can guarantee that right now.

I san burn or rip the Italian flag in support of Amanda Knox, I know she is innocent and I know she is not going back to Italy for trial no matter how much the Italian legal system tries to screw her over, I am sending my Congressman and my Senators letters demanding either a cut off of trade with Italy or trade sanctions against Italy, I also demand prosecution of Giuliano Mignini in U.S. Federal courts for harassment of Amanda Knox and her parents (ok prosecuting that knucklehead prosecutor in U.S. Federal court is probably not likely to happen but hey maybe this might get the attention of U.S. Congress and Senate).

Stogie said...

Well said, Ryan. I too think it would be a great strategy to sue Mignini in an American court, for slander, prosecutorial abuse, for being a vexatious litigant, and for false imprisonment. He has sued 12 people, some of them Americans, for slander, merely for criticizing or disagreeing with him. Now those same Americans must travel to Italy to defend themselves or lose the suits by default. Mignini is truly a fascist, a bully, a liar and a disgrace to any system of justice. Let him travel to the US to defend himself against charges that are factual and real, and not merely imaginary ones that this soothsayer has dreamt up.

WILL AVOID ITALY AND NEVER WILL BUY ANYTHING ITALIAN AND KICK THEM OUT FROM OTHER STATES

Stogie said...

I cannot agree more that Prosecutor Magnini is an idiot and should never again be allowed to practice law. The Italian justice is flawed and railroaded Amanda Knox. I even agree that the Knox family should be financially compensated for what they suffered. But idiots McReynolds are as shortsighted and idiotic as Magnini. Italy will survive well without the likes of people like him. There are enough assholes there without adding him to the bunch!

PS: Go have a ball in France, asshole!

Stogie said...

If you knew Italy you would have already boycotted them.I live here but my father is American.Italy is full of anti American communists who really hate America.I was at college in 2001 and everyone was celebrating the 9/11 terrible attacks.EVERyONE!Just don't buy anything from this sick country not even food.

Stogie said...

Is calling someone the a word really that necessary.
By the way I am going to be visiting Germany in March, not France, rather I was saying it use to be I would have preferred Italy over France but now if I had to choose between France or Italy, I would pick France.
I was exercising my constitutional rights to speak how I am feeling about the whole thing, and here it is JJP you agree with me that Magnini is an idiot who should never again be allowed to practice law and agreeing with me that the Knox family should be compensated but then you call me names like a**hole, which tells me you weren't even raised right by your mom.
My Grandfather who killed fascists in World War II, would have whipped your butt till you are unable to poop for mouthing off like this JJP.
My Irish bloodline is flaring and so is the bloodline of my 7 Greats Grandfather who fought off tyrants in the American Revolutionary War, even my Dad (the son of a WWII veteran) says the Italian legal system is a crock and he's right.
By the way JJP, this is suppose to be about supporting Amanda Knox, not calling Knox supporters like me names like a**hole.

nasty evil mignini a disgrace and avoid italy and its products

Stogie said...

I'm boycotting it too. The ISC made that happen. Heck some of them believe in the same whack theories Mignini put forth in The Monster of Florence case as well as the similar ones in the Meredith Kercher case. They also believe 911 was a conspiracy. It was not I can say as absolute certain fact. Game on, Italy...

Stogie said...

That will be a lot of work, but I'm game.

Stogie said...

Why didn't I see this before!!! Another great job Mr. Stogie man. ;)

Stogie said...

You always miss the chance to be silent.

Stogie said...

I support Mignini.He is not the man that many idiots think.

Stogie said...

WILL AVOID THE UNITED STATES AND NEVER WILL BUY ANYTHING AMERICAN AND KICK THEM OUT FROM OUR COUNTRY

Stogie said...

LOVE MIGNINI!! LONG LIFE TO HIM!!

Stogie said...

You won't have to kick us out, we won't be going there or spending our dollars in your banana republic anymore.

Stogie said...

Mignini is a delusional, evil little man. The world would be a better place had he never been born. However, he will face the final judge and eternal justice for the evil and injustice that he has visited upon the innocent.

Stogie said...

Yes, he is worse.

Stogie said...

Thanks Michelle, I too am a fan of yourself, my comrade in arms against Italian tyranny!

Stogie said...

You should boycot your husband!!

Stogie said...

We will do the same.You don't need to kick us out,we won't be going there or spending dollars in your COWBOYS REPUBLIC anymore

Stogie said...

Innocient? HAHAHA

Stogie said...

Is it time to boycot Italy? No at all,but the United States.

Stogie said...

HE is the light of justice in the darkenss of evil.

Stogie said...

Thank God for that. Stay home and put more innocent people in jail. Italy is becoming one huge prison!

Stogie said...

The only things Luigi boycotts is justice and common sense!

Stogie said...

not innocient people,but criminals like Amanda and Raffaele

Stogie said...

Why common sense?

Stogie said...

Luigi, you absurd little tool, ask the 21 defendants in the Narducci case who were falsely accused and tried by the fool Mignini, all of whom were acquitted. You should try reading the actual facts of the case instead of relying on Italian rumor and gossip tabloids. Your system of justice is a disgrace and Italy is the laughing stock of the western world.

Stogie said...

He is a complete fool, a liar and quite possibly insane.

Stogie said...

" Your system of justice is a disgrace and Italy is the laughing stock of the western world".
This statement is a non sense.Have you ever though how many americans have been convicted to death,and they were innocient?
The american system of justice is a disgrace for America, more than the italian system to Italy.
And I am not so sure,like you,that those 21 were innocients.
The story is not close,we may have surprises that show that Mignini was right.

Stogie said...

what he said!

Stogie said...

Go gooo! Please keep up the great writing. PS The Donald needs to speak out again. Some fun is about to start.

Stogie said...

I would never allow my child to study in Italy after the justice,or lack of was demonstrated in the Amanda Knox trial. I do not consider their Supreme Court to be very bright since they have allowed a retrial. American tourists should boycott Italy, since given the banana republic justice system, they could end up in the same situation.

Stogie said...

evil stupid idiot luigi bubani either nasty anglosaxon or evil italian blood AVOID ITALY AND THE POLICE ET PROSECUTOR GHASTLY GIULIANO MIGNINI A DISGRACE AND ARE BEST DEAD ASAP

I can't imagine how Americans can allow this to happen to a fellow American. There is no credible evidence against Amanda Knox. And she has been tried three times for the same crime. Thank God they can't do that in the United States. I just ordered a Boycott Italy bumper sticker. I don't know why I had to create my own. We should all have them. And be sure to give to her defense at amandaknox.com. Very few things have outraged me like this case. I can take a lot of injustice in the world, but this is really over the top. Whoever said Italian justice hasn't changed much since they executed Jesus has a point.
