Italy justice minister announced on Monday that, an inquiry into clarification to the Italian media made by the judge who read the culpable verdicts against Amanda Knox and her former Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito.
Annamaria Cancellieri said that, she has asked the inspector general to make a “preliminary assessment” of the remarks published by two Italian newspapers over the weekend.
According to the Luca Maori (Sollecito attorney), comments on the defense strategy are ‘serious’ and could form part of their appeal to Italy’s highest court on last week’s verdict.
According to the Maori, the defense team would seek an investigation into the judge’s comments with the ministry, as well as the magistrates’ oversight body and the high Court of Cassation.
Maori said on telephone, this is not a vendetta because a judge handed down a verdict other than what we expected,
Knox defense lawyer Carlo Dalla Vedova said in statements, the interviews were “not appropriate,” but he reserved comment on any action until the court’s reasoning for the verdict is issued, expected within 90 days of the sentence.
Dalla Vedova said (Knox defense lawyer), she feels that it is a mistake and she will continue fighting for her innocence.
According to the news Agency report, Members of the magistrate’s governing body also said they will request an inquiry, saying Nencini had violated the secrecy of deliberations, anticipated arguments in the yet-published reasoning, and made comments on the defense trial strategy that suggest ‘partiality’.
