Mez: EVE OF A HEARING (5#) -

Meredith Kercher Murder Case -

In a nicely written article,
Peter Popham reprises the case:

"Tomorrow in the old law courts in Piazza Matteotti in the city centre, preliminary hearings in the trial of the three people accused of the murder of Meredith finally get under way."

Popham asks, Can justice be done?

**********
"Francesco Maresca, a lawyer acting for the family of Miss Kercher, said the judge at tomorrow's hearing would probably not decide whether the three should be tried for murder until the end of October. Fearful of a pact between former lovers Knox and Sollecito, Guede plans to ask for a separate trial from them if he is indicted, his lawyer has said."

How did the name of Patrick Diya Lumumba
mysteriously enter the picture?

Frank in Perugia has somehow managed to spirit away a transcript of the interrogation in which Mignini acts as the inquisitor. Some bi-lingual. Diya is suing for defamation.
