The head prosecutor in the Amanda Knox murder trial has filed a defamation complaint against the West Seattle Herald.
Giuliano Mignini is seeking to seize the web pages that featured a story about last week's "Friends of Amanda" fundraiser in which Mignini was referred to as "mentally unstable.".jpg)
Mignini is also upset with private investigator Paul Ciolino who has been very vocal in his criticism of Mignini. Ciolino, first hired by CBS to investigate the case, has become one of the most ardent supporters of Knox' innocence. Ciolino has been pretty adamant about the perceived shortcomings of Mignini's mind, as reported by Komo 4 News:
The Italian prosecutor who's bringing murder charges against Seattle's Amanda Knox is a "raving, out-of-control maniac" pursuing an innocent student, says a nationally known U.S. investigator who's speaking on her behalf Saturday.
Mignini has called the attacks those of a "personal nature," citing a link between Knox and the group that held the fundraiser as reason to consider the remarks as defamation.
As if this case and the spectacle it has become hasn't been bizarre enough, Mignini has offered up some fresh material. What baffles me even more is why Mignini chose the West Seattle Herald as the publication he wanted to target. Other papers and television stations carried the remarks, but he chose the one with probably the least name recognition. That's not a knock on the West Seattle Herald, it just seems to me like a strange choice.
I never thought this trial would go off without some twists. But this one even threw me for a loop.
