Mez: MAGAZINE PREVIEW (2#) -

Meredith Kercher Murder Case -

Light & Darkness: Does Angelface
have a dark side, like the dark side of the moon?

For those who have been living in a cave . . .

Lorenzo Viganò does a nice recapitulation
of The Crime of Perugia: from the discovery
of the body to the beginning of the trial.

"One of the most intricate
Murder Scenarios in recent years."

To supplement this recap, Fiorenza Sarzanini provides some documentation from the diaries and writings of the defendants which appear in this week's Magazine of the Corriere della Sera. She is the Court Reporter for the newspaper. And this is an exclusive preview of a book she has been writing about the case. This issue features a head shot of Amanda Knox on the cover.

People are complex creatures. We have a public face which we present as part of our Social Identity. But we also have private thoughts and feelings.

We have many facets and many different kinds of relationships. We display one facet to our parents and teachers, another facet to our friends. People have complex identities.

For some reason, it is this aspect of the case
which has captured the interest of many Italians.

Here in America, we know that a convicted serial killer was described as a very charming man. And, indeed, there seems to be a recognized category of criminals known as "charming psychopaths."
