Not sure why you need a character assassination if your "facts" meet preponderance thresholds.....
But, my post were about the judge and his remarks, and why it troubled me to the point of altering my travel plans.
I trust you have seen where this judge is now being examined by your own system where he might have brought prejudice to his verdict?
If perception is fact, as in your assessments.... I think you display rather handsomely, framing my concern over the issue.
Which puts the ball in my court....to argue with a closed mind is folly and settles nothing. To avoid being in a position where I might find myself at odds with your judicial system, I do have the capacity to assure that does not happen. Is it extreme in nature, most assuredly....
But history is ripe, doubly so in my own country, were men where judged, AND prosecuted, solely on prejudice and bias, and again, where you have exhibited, how it can work against this yankee partying nymphomaniac (which on its own accord ain't such a bad thing, yes
)
Sorry for seeing your post so late, else I would have commented earlier.
The "Big Issue" is NOT on the Judge saying what he said.
The big issue is on THAT judge saying what he said, and being crossexamined of it,
when another judge, in a much more important trial "The State Vs. Silvio Berlusconi" said much more (actually admitting to doctoring Courthouse procedures in order to be assigned that very case) and being rather uncerimoniously being taped while admitting "I couldn't wait to lay my hands on that SoB" (a previous Prime Minister!) thus making it quite obvious HE, as a Judge, was prejudiced to the point of wanting to be assigned the case in order to acknowledge him guilty and sentence him!
THAT, IMHO, is a prejudiced court.
NOT Amanda Knox's.
Oh, and... before I forget.
In your Country, if you so much as sneeze into a LEO's face, you get tesered and arrested.
In my Country, you must commit a CRIME as described in the Criminal Code of Laws before a Judge signs an arrest warrant.
There is no "arrest on premises by LEO", only "Police Custody" without cuffs and without bars.
So, come on ahead, whether you travel to France, Germany or Italy, you'll be safe and protected by the same Judicial Principles.
Not like England, who still go by Roman Law...
