ITALY: Meredith Kercher's Killer Rudy Guede FREED on Day Release To Study History Degree
Mirror News ^ | Feb 11, 2014 | Andy Lines

Posted on 02/11/2014 11:36:07 AM PST by Main Street

Last month American Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were re-convicted of the murder of 21-year-old Meredith who was knifed to death in October 2007

He is the only one currently behind bars for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher – but jail is turning into an education for knifeman Rudy Guede.

The 27-year-old has secretly been given permission to leave his cell on the sex offenders’ wing of a top security Italian jail – so he can pursue his studies for a history degree.

But the fact that he is now able to enjoy day release to visit his tutor in a nearby town has provoked outrage.

One friend of Meredith’s family said: “Rudy Guede being allowed out of prison to study like this is a sick joke.

"Poor Meredith was in Perugia to study at university and this man was convicted of killing her.

“She is dead and here he is now studying history and could even go to the same university.”

Last month American Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were re-convicted of the murder of 21-year-old Meredith who was knifed to death in October 2007.

Guede was tried separately in 2008 and received a 30-year sentence, later reduced to 16 years on appeal.

His DNA was found on Meredith’s body.

Guede’s lawyer Walter Biscotti confirmed that the killer was entitled to partial freedom.

Asked whether he was aware of the furious reaction to the news, he shrugged: “If the English and Meredith’s family are upset about this I don’t know what to say… it’s the law.”

Occam’s razor says the guy did by himself. A conspiracy of this third-world wierdo and a couple of affluent first-world airheads makes no sense.

Ah.... no, since many First World Airheads consume with, and buy drugs from, Turd Worlders whenever they have the chance, anything is possible. Since the cops pretty much screwed this up, no one knows for sure WTF happened ... except Rudy, Amanda, and Raffaello.

I surely hope this particular Turd World druggie and street basketball player doesn't escape back to the jungle while "studying history."

BTW, Americans have no frickin' clue about how Left-Wing-Loonie Europe actually is. One more addlepated socialist anus like Obama, and they are pretty sure to find out.

Heck, “Foxy Knoxy” is running around seattle, why not let 1/3 of the trifecta of murderers out too.

If the English and Meredith’s family are upset about this ...

Ohhh they're not upset.

They're too busy pressuring the prosecution imprison the two people he claims did this crime while he of course was innocently busy taking a dump only a few feet away.

Amanda and her Italian boyfriend were busy making like bunnies. I don’t think they had much time or inclination to mess around with Rudy.

I guess you missed Guede's first confession where he said that he held Kercher in his arms after slitting her throat until she died. He's such a caring guy, don't you think? I can understand why he's being set free.

We now know the truth behind why he's receiving these bennies. He did exactly what he was told to do as the pitchfork and torches crowd went after the American foreigner -- Magnini being such an upstanding citizen and all....

Isn’t it funny that, according to the prosecutor, Amanda and Rafael were running around scrubbing the apartment down with bleach, but they didn’t think to flush the toilet?

Thanks Main Street.
The 27-year-old has secretly been given permission to leave his cell on the sex offenders’ wing of a top security Italian jail – so he can pursue his studies for a history degree... His DNA was found on Meredith’s body. Guede’s lawyer Walter Biscotti... shrugged: “If the English and Meredith’s family are upset about this I don’t know what to say… it’s the law.”

The Italians are all too easy on disorganized crime and ultra PC. Every once in a while they just declare an amnesty and cut'em loose from prison. And of course, there's no death penalty, although the national police and the tax police do get very trigger happy from time to time and finish off the odd bad guy themselves.

Now if Rudy had been a tax evading Mafia hit man, and avoided a shoot-out, he just might have faced 50 years on some small rocky island in the Adriatic, the Eyetie version of Club Fed.

Just two things:
(1)Rudy Done It.
(2)IMNVHO, Amanda and Rafe ain't tellin' all they know, or all they did or did not do.

This was a bad bust, too. Town Cops of Perugia, (Mayberry PD type of operation) oughta be ashamed of themselves. Amanda and Rafe were not read their rights. Statements were taken without a lawyer present. They didn't get Amanda a translator. She didn't get her phone call. On and on, including a couple of raps up the side of Amanda's head. No matter what she did or didn't do, she would have walked anywhere in America, too. Difference is in America, the DA's office might have turned down the case!

Amanda did a little hard time, OK? But no way she'd lose an appeal on those grounds, either here or there. But OTOH, she's damn lucky they didn't treat her as an out-and-out nut case, based on her entirely bizarre behavior. Had they done so, she would have been committed to a Fellini-esque loony bin way TF out in the picturesque Umbrian countryside.

Yeah; the Krazy Kerchers (as I’ve begun to call them) are busy making sure that Amanda and her former boyfriend are facing their (irrational) wrath.

Well you see they left Rudy’s cr*p there because they were trying to frame the bar owner for the crime — ohhh wait a minute — uhhh never mind.

I was never sure that most of the alleged behavior wasn’t law enforcement and media exaggerations.

Yep the Krazy Kerchers have descended to the level of the Trayvonistas of this case.

They cannot accept that a black man could be singlehandedly capable of taking someone’s life and they want more than just one pound of flesh — they want three pounds.

And if it weren’t for the money they are still raising for their accusations on their website and planted stories in the media, the killer of Miss Kerchner would still be in prison serving his time instead of out laughing at the justice system.

Italians dont hate Americans. I spent December in Modena and Milan, and every single Italian I met went out of their way to talk when they foundnout I was American. The two technicians that just came to the UK to work with us this year both arrived after the Kerchner ruling, one thinks Knox was skmply lucky that Italian law allows one to have their foriegn passport back duri g appeal and one is indifferent to the case. It wasnt a witchhunt, the three little darlings killed Meridith.

Italians dont hate Americans.

I never said they did. However, any American who has spent time in Europe will know that the profound western European attitude toward us is not hate, but envy masquerading as moral superiority.

The local government in Perugia has a vested interest in making this appear as a foreigner on foreigner crime, rather than accept the fact that some third-world scum they openly welcomed to their country committed this murder.

one thinks Knox was skmply lucky that Italian law allows one to have their foriegn passport back duri g appeal

She was let out of prison by another court. That's not luck. Of course, Italian law allowed her to leave the country right after the murder, and her relatives urged her to do so, but she chose to stay so she could help the police find the person who murdered her roommate. Yeah, those are the actions of a guilty person. Right. In the meantime, Rudy Guede left the country for Germany. Seems Rudy has a history of using knives to have his way with other people. Amanda Knox, not so much.

It wasnt a witchhunt, the three little darlings killed Meridith.

Usually, someone is required to have evidence before making such a statement. But like the prosecutor, that fact doesn't seem to carry much importance to you. I'm sure your fact free understanding of the case makes it much easier to live in your current location, but that's about all it does. You need to learn more about Magnini and his many witch hunts. Once you understand him, you will understand why Knox didn't kill Kercher. You will also understand why she's being blamed. Constantly changing the motive, while defending the evidence gathering of the local Keystone Cops, makes Magnini the problem. Guede murdered Kercher and he admitted doing so by himself......until the local authorities got a hold of him. Now he's being rewarded.

Gotta link for this alleged video, because I can’t one on google. Only police alleging it.

Knox says she was doing yoga stretches (sitting for long periods).

Occam’s razor suggests police and media are full of fecal material.
