Weird! Multiple people quoted my response and it was one of the last posts in the thread. A thread that you were very active in until then. How'd you miss it? Oh well.

So, you want "a single forensic genetics expert in the entire world, aside from individuals affiliated with the prosecution...who believes... the DNA evidence was handled reliably and analyzed correctly"?

Okay.

1) Dr. Balding, Oxford-educated Professor of Statistical Genetics confirmed that that analysis finding that Sollecito's DNA matches the DNA on the bra clasp at 15 loci was correct. Dr. B. said this is strong evidence against Sollecito.

Great. Except that I asked for an independent genetics expert who thinks the DNA evidence was collected reliably as well. Super interesting that you missed that part. How many pro-innocence people are even claiming that the DNA profile associated with the bra clasp did not contain Raffaele's DNA?

Is this really the only expert you can find? And it didn't even address my question? Wow. How is that multi-year internet campaign to jail two innocent people that you don't even know going for ya?

2) IIRC, none other than Greg Hampikian, consultant to the DEFENSE, gave an interview in which he said Napoleoni and her team did a good job of collecting and analyzing the evidence that nailed Guede.

Now, given that it's the same crime scene, the same time frame, the same CSIs, and the same lab, why is their work good enough for the black kid but not good enough for the white kids?

LOL. Seriously, just LOL. Yeah, it's cause he's black. Not because on the initial investigation his DNA was EVERYWHERE in the murder room and they did not even have him in mind as a suspect yet (i.e. it was impossible for them to be biased at the time against a person they didn't even know existed). They didn't have to come back to the murder room 47 days later specifically looking for evidence against him. And their only evidence against him wasn't a bra clasp that had been moved and contained multiple other profiles, and a kitchen knife randomly plucked out of a drawer that didn't even match the knife wounds.

Can you think of any other differences between the evidence against Rudy and the evidence against Amanda/Raffaele besides the color of Rudy's skin? Holy hell I can't believe I actually had to write that. You are seriously a nutjob.

PS Since you mentioned Moore, I'm going to throw in former FBI profiler Clint van Zandt who, unlike Moore, was one of the elite agents selected for training at the FBI's National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime. Clint did an interview with NBC Dateline, IIRC, and said the Perugian police were good cops who did a professional job of collecting and analyzing the evidence. You can probably still hunt down the video clips.

No, I'm not going to "hunt down" any video clips. Do you have any links to his actual analysis? Why the hell do you keep harping on TomZ53 to provide three scientific sources to support an extremely minor point he made in the other thread, but you can't even link the damn video?
