Mignini’s Crimes

Now, back to the chargers against lead prosecutor Giuliano Mignini. He was found guilty in 2010 for abuse of power. They charged him for wiretapping phones during the investigation of the gruesome Monster of Florence. However, the ruling was overturned. He had been charged back in 2006. Despite those former charges being dropped, many criticized his bizarre tactics during the Knox case. In 2015, the Italian Council of Magistrates disciplined him for violating proper procedure.

Evidence Against Guede

The evidence against Rudy Guede wasmore substantial, as we discussed. His DNA was on and inside the victim’s body and on her things. Also he changed his story, implicating Knox later on. On November 20, 2007, they arrested Rudy Guede in Germany. However, he was tried separately from both Amanda Knox and Raffaelo Sollecito. He was in what they refer to as a “fast-track” process. In 2008, they found Rudy Guede guilty of murder and sexual assault. He’s serving a 16 year sentence since his 30 to 24 years was automatically reduced by a third when Knox and Sollecito were convicted.
