This is Giuliano Mignini, the chief prosecutor in the case against Amanda Knox in the murder of Meredith Kercher, which took place in Perugia, Italy nine years ago. The reason I brought it up on this forum is because I was particularly disturbed by the religious overtones in the handling of this case, particularly by the chief prosecutor Mignini. His is a dangerous ilk, and why we should all be fearful of not only theocracies, but religious thinking worming its way into secular governments and secular judicial systems. This man allowed his own personal beliefs and convictions, which were mainly influenced by Roman Catholicism, to justify accusing two people of murder. He ignored evidence, he allowed the mistreatment of witnesses, he wildly theorized, and bungled the crime scene, all whilst pursuing some ridiculous ego-inflamed idea of himself as an Italian crusader for God's justice in Satan's wilderness of the modern world where women are allowed to have sex with multiple partners outside of wedlock (for shame!)
His blatant sexism can be blamed on his religion, in my opinion. His preoccupation with sex games and sex rituals is a hallmark sign of a whacked-out religious nut job who's never formed a normal conception or relationship with sex because of all the guilt and suppression his religion associates with it.
And towards the end of the documentary, he says "if they are innocent, I hope they can come to terms with the suffering they've endured." Did you catch that? How he wrote himself out of that sentence? He doesn't take any responsibility for his own actions that actually caused them that suffering. He bears most of the blame for that, and yet his Roman Catholicism allows him to take a pass because he can just ask for forgiveness, and we all make mistakes. He literally says, "We're all caught between good and evil. That's being a human." Um, yeah, but persisting in ignorance goes beyond that.
We need to be fighting this kind of toxic religious mindset leak in all parts of the globe. Thoughts?
