MEZ: FRESH EYES (2#) -
Meredith Kercher Murder Case -

Judge Claudia Matteini has ordered a new post mortem from three independent experts: Professor Giancarlo Umani Ronchi, Anna Aprile and Mariano Cingolani, who are described as three of Italy's leading forensic experts.

Allegations have been raised in recent days that the CSI team carelessly contaminated evidence. And the chain of custody has been questioned, according to the latest dispatch from Nick Pisa in Rome.

Results from the aforementioned independent trio will be officially presented to the judge on April 19th.

The latest Theory of the Crime in Italy: she might have been killed with two knives in the course of a sex game gone wrong.

I'm not convinced this was about sex games, but my impressions remain fluid and flexible. Currently, I suspect it is possible that the reason this case seems so confounding is because there may have been two different crimes which occurred at that scene.

The first crime, a simple theft. Perhaps Rudy Guede invited himself over to the girls' cottage with hopes of ripping off the place or pilfering some small but valuable items - has anyone counted the silverware and gadgets yet? Are there any pricey items missing?

And then, entirely separate from that, a crime of opportunity and one which Andre Gide would call a gratuitous act (an acte gratuit) by an intruder.

It seems to me that stabbing someone through the hyoid is an act of calculated design - almost an intellectual crime - performed by a psychopath who believes he could act "without consequences" and, if need be, outwit the authorities.

And I don't think that intruder was Fantomas.
