Crime Who Is this Mario Alessi?
Posted by Charles Mudede on Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 7:51 AM
This is he:
Mario Alessi, 38, is currently serving a life sentence in connection with the brutal kidnapping and murder of Tommaso Onofri, a 2-year-old boy from Parma known as Tommy, whose high-profile disappearance and murder in 2006 shocked the nation. Alessi's conviction and life sentence was recently upheld on appeal in Bologna.A man convicted of murder is the current source of hope for a certain woman convicted of murder. If you do not know my position on all of this, then you do not know me—a man who believes there is such a thing as reason in this world. The real has a reason.

And we're going to take the word of this animal about what he was told by Guede in a jail cell about the Knox case. Please.

@4: if this animal was in a cell with guede (which shouldn't be hard to establish, except it's italy), then why wouldn't his testimony hold as much bearing on knox's guilt as, say, her false accusation of lumumba, extracted under duress, apparently did? all the evidence cited by the jury was tangential &/or circumstantial.
if there's reason in this world, its sure keeping its powder dry.

how is this news? alessi is a nut job child killer who has given tons of false testimony in the past.
only in seattle could this be considered a break. thats like the green river killer calling and saying he was told something by somebody who knows somebody. nobody would beleive it. but the amanda lobby in seattle has the goofy newscasters and reporters on their pocket. the pi actually closed the story saying, this might force them to release knox.
she is guilty, get over it. at least she'll be fluent in italian when she gets out.

Did you see where the prosecutor in the Knox case, Giuliano Mignini, was convicted of breaking the law in another of his spurious "cases"? In America, that would cast her entire prosecution in some doubt; in Italy, where guilt or innocence is decided first, and then a case is built, and a trial held, it apparently doesn't matter at all.
8
@6: the confidence of the "she did it get over it" crowd amazes me. WHY did she do it? if you read Charles "if she did it" timeline, it is patently absurd.
the 'evidence' cited by the jury is, to whit:
"The opinion said the prosecution's case had "no gaps or incongruencies." It cited forensic evidence, but also inconsistent statements, alibis that didn't hold up when cross referenced with cell phone and computer records, the staging of the crime scene and Knox's pinning the blame on Patrick Lumumba as factors that led to a guilty verdict."
this "evidence" could be interpreted in 2 ways. one; she's guilty (a stretch), two; her DNA was at the crime scene because SHE LIVED THERE, her inconsistent statements (of which the Lumumba accusation is one - she retracted it) were given under sleep deprivation, in a language she didn't speak, and in response to theories fed her by the investigators. the staging could have been done by guede - nothing made it specifically knox or sollecitto.
there is no motive, and apparently that doesn't bother the italian jury. their alibi - that they were at rudy's smoking hash, fucking, then sleeping, is entirely plausable.
the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. 26 years for, essentially, accusing someone (who is no long er accused) falsely, and acting freaked out after her roommate was murdered is not justice.
in america, she'd have walked. not because she's white, but because she didn't do it.

in america where inocents have been known to be executed and where thousands of people are doing life for questionable testimonies by cop's friends or junky eyewitness? that america?
please, the italian judicial system is not perfect, far from it, but lets not parade ours around like the a greay example. ours is so far from perfect is not even funny.

Amanda and Raffaello actually have a pretty good chance of walking out on appeal.
There were many procedural errors committed by the cops (No Lawyer, No Record of the Interrogation, No Interpreter, Poor Chain of Evidence, etc. etc. etc.) However, Toto, since we are not in Kansas, the appeals team here can decide, "Yeah the coppers fucked up, but we think she really is probably guilty ... but ... we'll see what we can do."
The case against the star-crossed lovers, or train-fuckers, is almost, ALMOST I say, entirely circumstantial. Now, we'll get to see how good a lawyer she (Raffaello is on his own) and her many staunch friends can afford.
I think she'll do another deuce, and then she'll be out. Hope she devotes the time to working on the movie.
Are they innocent? Maybe not.

No matter what you people have to say, if you only knew the truth. You can honestly see that Amanda Knox is quite innocent. Have you even read the news, do you honestly think she would have murder her roommate? You people have got it all wrong. Sure she's hot. But she didn't kill her roommate. She's innocent.
