This is an English translation of AracneTv’s interview with Dr. Mignini. For the record, I am not a native Italian speaker. I did spend a year studying Italian in Perugia, and I lived there on and off, for a period of 18 months, give or take. My father was a surgeon, born and educated in Perugia and I still have family in the area that I care for very much…. The translation is long and I have not yet learned how to add it as captions…. Interviewer: What was it like for you, from a personal and professional point of view, being involved in the Kercher homicide case? G.Mignini.: Well, Let’s say it was an event that advanced my experience incrementally. It presented a series of challenges, from a legal point of view. Aside from garnering strong interest in the international media. From a journalistic point of view, it created a lot of controversies as well, due in part to conflicts between Italian Law and Common Law, the Anglo-Saxon legal system, and the U.S.A.’s version of Common Law, in particular. There was a continual re-telling of facts and events in this case, in the media, and that really surprised me. Also, taking place under extreme journalistic / mass media pressures, which certainly had both positive and negative aspects, because the media’s constant re-telling of information from the proceedings, (at times, with editorial spin / bias), detracted from the legal process. It tended to move the case, (that should have been heard in court only, the court being its natural and correct place…), instead to a trial of public opinion, which may contradict the interests of both parties in the case. For instance, in a series of ‘reality shows’ or ‘documentaries’, or TV Talk Shows, or articles and opinion pieces in print. In this case we had a situation where we were without the ability to respond to their statements with the complete facts of the case. There were TV programs, not only foreign, but Italian as well, that seemed to ignore the factual burden that Rudy Herman Guede was found to have participated in the homicide, but WITH THE INVOLVEMENT of OTHERS… He had a different legal process, and an abbreviated one, without the twists and turns of editorial interference that the other two defendants were subjected to. But then we had the appeals process in Florence, where the Perugia convictions were upheld, but then eventually overturned, by the Italian Supreme Court, and without the right of further prosecutorial response or appeal. I haven’t read the Supreme Court’s final ruling in its entirety yet, but I read the brief, and it was totally unexpected. It overturned the verdicts and nullified the sentences handed down by the Perugian court, and then blocked any further prosecutorial review or appeal, citing Italian Penal Code, Art. 530: a ruling that did NOT ABSOLVE, nor CONDEMN the ACCUSED, rejecting any further appeals. I believe this was, to my memory, the first time such a thing has occured in the Italian courts. It really shocked and surprised me…. I hope to read a full accounting of the Supreme Court’s sustaining motivations in this legal matter as well. I believe what occurred in this case may be of interest, also to the general public. I’m gathering my notes and putting them all down in black and white, in an attempt to reconstruct what happened in this complex affair. Later, a book may come out. We’ll see…. I don’t think there should be any problems writing about it now, because the case is definitively closed. It can therefore be discussed openly, and I repeat, because it is made up of facts and events that pertain to everyone.
Unless the law has changed, is double jeopardy still not recognized in Italy? Once Knox and Sollecito were acquitted, was the case permanently closed or is anyone still looking at the case? How can one person hold down a victim, (she had bruises on both arms?) and stab them? Did anyone measure those bruises to show two people were holding her down and stabbing her? They need to get a new set of eyes to look at all the crime scene photos and see what was missed. Knox and Sollecito are as guilty as sin and need to be exposed for the pigs they are.

***** actually you can ,by researching how he handled the case. 1. He oversaw the investigation (that's not normally how that works. NORMALLY the police do their investigation THEN hand the case off to a prosecutor. 2.He picked people at random to arrest and when the evidence pointed ton NONE of the people he had in custody he used bogus theories to keep them in custody. 3. He ordered the destruction of the laptops as it had clear alibis foe A&R but he didn't want anyone to discover his theories were 100% bogus. 5. he went lenient on the sentence of the real killer and instead demanded life for two young people with NO criminal records whatsoever. yep he's a mentally unstable psychopath. no ? about it.
Mignini il tuo nome passerà alla storia...se fossi al tuo posto invece che rilasciare interviste opterei per il silenzio...o magari aprirei bocca solo per chiedere scusa.
If you're still interested in knowing what this guy is saying... (I speak italian)... The first question was "what your involvement in the Meredith Kercher trial mean for you? He aaid: The trial was a challenge for me because common law (in the Anglo-saxon sense of the term.) "Especially with the American version of common law." I say: Italy IS NOT governed by common law and any common law that might be "involved" in this case is completely irrelevant. So there is no reason to even consider common law at all. I just think it's disgusting that if Amanda and Raffaele are innocent, that it took 4 years in jail for them. I'm Italian myself. The length of trials in Italy is a big problem.

Noi italiani siamo passati dascemi con questi personaggi!

Mignini ha agito correttamente, tanto che anche l’ultima cassazione ha assolto con formula dubitativa.
I wish there was English subtitles so I could understand what that mentally unstable psychopath of a human being was saying
***** actually you can ,by researching how he handled the case.
1. He oversaw the investigation (that's not normally how that works. NORMALLY the police do their investigation THEN hand the case off to a prosecutor.

Giuliano Mignini scam !
@@Helga7850 Amanda is guilty❗
@@yamatospirit1404 everyone knows. But she received some protections by USA and Italy is an American sub-state.
So Amanda is innocent.
