Darkness Descending - The Murder of Meredith Kercher
It was a brutal murder, and the trial of the decade. On 1 November 2007, 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher was slaughtered in cold blood in the apartment in Perugia, Italy, that she shared with three other girls. Two bright young people, Amanda Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, stood accused of the killing in a trial that lasted through 2009. They were found guilty and sentenced to twenty-six and twenty-five years respectively on 4 December. A second man, Ivory Coast-born Rudy Guede, 22, had already been found guilty of the sexual assault and murder of Meredith in a separate trial in 2008 and sentenced to thirty years, but the prosecution always stated that he...
O outro lado do poder
O jornalista Sílvio Barsetti apresenta um corte inédito mas não menos revelador sobre a história recente do Brasil, ignorado em pesquisas e análises políticas: os bastidores do poder pela ótica da prostituição que gravita em torno dele, e vice-versa. O livro revisita bordéis e cabarés frequentados por presidentes, joga luz sobre as festas de arromba animadas por parlamentares e lobistas à beira do Paranoá, e traz à tona eventos em hotéis arrendados para celebrar contratos milionários com o poder público. São todos episódios reais, que reforçam o tão decantado caráter afrodisíaco do poder. Ambientado boa parte em Brasília, "O outro lado do poder" descortina o papel das...

Injustice in Perugia
Meredith Kercher was murdered on November 1, 2007 in Perugia, Italy. Three people have been tried and convicted for her murder; Rudy Guede, Amanda Knox, and Raffaele Sollecito.This book was written with one objective in mind; to provide the honest truth about this case. When you silence the noise of the media spin and focus on the actual facts, you will clearly see that Amanda and Raffaele had nothing to do with this crime. All credible evidence points to one man; Rudy Guede.If you are looking for a suspenseful mystery with a surprise ending, this is not the book for you. I certainly don't view this case as a mystery. I believe the truth is clear for anyone who is willing to see it. Amanda K...
Three False Convictions, Many Lessons
A new perspective on the roles of psychopathology, confirmation bias, false confessions, the media and internet (amongst other causes) of unjust accusations. Putting lack of empathy at the fore in terms of police, prosecutors and others, it considers a wide range of other psychopathological aspects of miscarriages of justice. By looking at three high profile cases, those of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito (Italy), Stefan Kiszko (UK) and Darlie Routier (USA)—the authors show that motive forces are a mind-set in which psychopathy (what they term ‘constitutional negative empathy’) may be present and the need to reinforce existing supposition or lose face plays a large part.
Amanda Knox
In November 2007 the body of British student Meredith Kercher was discovered in her bedroom in Perugia, Italy. She had been brutally killed. Over the course of the next eight years one man, Rudy Guede, would be convicted of her murder and two other suspects, Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito, would be convicted, acquitted and convicted again for their part in the crime, before having their convictions overturned for the final time in 2015. Almost two decades on from this horrific event Rudy Guede is now a free man, released in 2021 after spending 13 years in jail. Amanda Knox is married with a daughter and Raffaele Sollecito has slipped into relative obscurity. For many, Amanda was, and rem...
Assassini per caso
Il 5 dicembre 2009 il tribunale di Perugia ha condannato Amanda Knox e Raffaele Sollecito per l'omicidio di Meredith Kercher. Ma se la giustizia italiana ha emesso la sua sentenza, l'opinione pubblica non ancora. Prospera la vendita di gadget con la scritta free Amanda e la studentessa americana riceve migliaia di lettere di sostegno. Mentre spuntano nuove testimonianze e presunte confessioni in carcere di Rudy Guede, anch'egli condannato per l'omicidio, colpevolisti e innocentisti continuano a discutere: bravi ragazzi o studenti annoiati che hanno spinto troppo in là un pericoloso gioco erotico? Vittime di un errore giudiziario o morbosi fidanzatini in cerca di emozioni forti? Assassini pe...
