Don't be feeding the Troll.

Oralboy....

Oralboy.

I'm back and listening, if not to oralloy.

Dj, if you want to feed him, go back to early posts and respond to all of his.

For you to respond at this point is to send blowflies to (fill in your own blank).

1-It’s not proven that the trace was blood.

2-It was a Low Copy Number and it should have been treated according to the recommendations indicated by the scientific community.

3-Because the operating standards indicated by the scientific community haven’t been followed the profile can’t be attributed to Meredith Kercher.

4-The collecting, the handling and the recording of the exhibit didn’t follow the international protocols.

5-It can’t be ruled out that the profile of the trace B may result from a contamination occurred in any phase: collecting, manipulating or during the analysis.

The results obtained are NOT RELIABLE for the following reasons:

1-Not proven the presence of cells on the exhibit.

2-The electroforetic curve of the autosomic STRs [the DNA profile, partially attributed to Raffaele Sollecito], was wrongly attributed.

3-The electroforetic curve of the Y-chromosome [attributed to Raffaele Sollecito] was wrongly attributed.

4-The international procedures for inspection, collecting and recording of the exhibit haven’t been followed.

5-It can’t be ruled out that the result may come from phenomenons of contamination occurred in any phase: collecting, manipulating or during the analysis.

CONCLUSIONS

Based on the considerations explained above, we are able to respond as follows to the inquiries posed at the assignment hearing:

"Having examined the record and conducted such technical investigations as shall be necessary, the Expert Panel shall ascertain:

1. whether it is possible, by means of a new technical analysis, to identify the DNA present on items 165b (bra clasp) and 36 (knife), and to determine the reliability of any such identification"

- The tests that we conducted to determine the presence of blood on item 36 (knife) and item 165B (bra clasps) yielded a negative result.

- The cytomorphological tests on the items did not reveal the presence of cellular material. Some samples of item 36 (knife), in particular sample "H", present granules with a circular/hexagonal characteristic morphology with a cental radial structure. A more detailed microscopic study, together with the consultation of data in the literature, allowed us to ascertain that the structures in question are attributable to granules of starch, thus matter of a vegetable nature.

- The quantification of the extracts obtained from the samples obtained from item 36 (knife) and item 165B (bra clasps), conducted via Real Time PCR, did not reveal the presence of DNA.

- In view of the absence of DNA in the extracts that we obtained, with the agreement of the consultants for the parties, we did not proceed to the subsequent amplification step.

2. "if it is not possible to carry out a new technical analysis, shall evaluate, on the basis of the record, the degree of reliability of the genetic analysis performed by the Scientific Police on the aforementioned items, including with respect to possible contamination."

Having examined the record and the relevant documents, we are able to report the following conclusions regarding the laboratory analyses performed on Item 36 (knife) and Item 165B (bra clasps):

ITEM 36 (KNIFE)

Relative to the genetic analysis performed on trace A (handle of the knife), we agree with the conclusion reached by the Technical Consultant regarding the attribution of the genetic profile obtained from these samples to Amanda Marie Knox.

Relative to trace B (blade of the knife) we find that the technical analyses performed are not reliable for the following reasons:

1. There does not exist evidence which scientifically confirms that trace B (blade of knife) is the product of blood.

2. The electrophoretic profiles exhibited reveal that the sample indicated by the letter B (blade of knife) was a Low Copy Number (LCN) sample, and, as such, all of the precautions indicated by the international scientific community should have been applied.

3. Taking into account that none of the recommendations of the international scientific community relative to the treatment of Low Copy Number (LCN) samples were followed, we do not accept the conclusions regarding the certain attribution of the profile found on trace B (blade of knife) to the victim Meredith Susanna Cara Kercher, since the genetic profile, as obtained, appears unreliable insofar as it is not supported by scientifically validated analysis;

4. International protocols of inspection, collection, and sampling were not followed;

5. It cannot be ruled out that the result obtained from sample B (blade of knife) derives from contamination in some phase of the collection and/or handling and/or analyses performed.


ITEM 165B (BRA CLASPS)

Relative to Item 165B (bra clasps), we find that the technical analysis is not reliable for the following reasons:

1. There does not exist evidence which scientifically confirms the presence of supposed flaking cells on the item;

2. There was an erroneous interpretation of the electrophoretic profile of the autosomic STRs;

3. There was an erroneous interpretation of the electrophoretic profile relative to the Y chromosome;

4. The international protocols for inspection, collection, and sampling of the item were not followed;

5. It cannot be ruled out that the results obtained derive from environmental contamination and/or contamination in some phase of the collection and/or handling of the item.

Dj, if you want to feed him, go back to early posts and respond to all of his.

not true, i simply played your game of wishing death on large groups of people, not all of them connected to the case (as per your wish that the us military kill italians to free AK and that some dude be given a large knife to kill italian folks)

for the most part i have no feelings towards the guilt or innocence of ms knox, it affects my life not one bit

Bee in his bonnet? Do you know how many hundreds of times he has posted in this thread?

poking the beehive has always been fun

I am interested, both re the case and the italian justice system and its foibles and occasions of action.

The third-world Italian freaks are going to be coming up with a slew of lies to try to cover up the facts that they don't know how to collect evidence or do a DNA test, and that they just concoct fraudulent results against whatever innocent people happen to be handy.
