Finally a book has been written on Meredith

Meredith’s father has written a book about the murder of his daughter, which will be published on 16th April. It’s good that he has scribbled about his daughter’s case. All along Amanda Knox is the person who has been in limelight. It’s terrible that the culprits are people who are more talked about than the victim. Anyway, the book Meredith: Our Daughter’s Murder And The Heartbreaking Quest For The Truth, by John Kercher, is for £16.99. 

This has been a truly tragic case & it questions the very concept of justice in this society where evidence is so easily removed when culprits happen to be rich kids & you know from which country. 

“There was also the presentation of evidence that Knox’s bloodied footprints had been found in the cottage’s hallway and bathroom; that her DNA had been found in blood mixed with Meredith’s in the bathroom; and that her DNA had been shown to be on a knife handle, with Meredith’s on the blade – a knife that police had found at Sollecito’s apartment and which, the prosecution claimed, had been removed from the scene of the crime. 

Judge Micheli also heard Knox’s and Sollecito’s defence teams attempting to refute much of the evidence, specifically the DNA evidence, which they blamed on contamination and poor forensics procedures. 

This was to be a major contention in this pre-trial, the main trial and, later, the first appeal.” 

An innocent young woman was brutally murdered but we read lame theories that people were jealous of Amanda’s beauty & they didn’t want to sympathize with her. Amanda Knox is the person who is also writing a book, which I’m sure is solely based on lies. In fact it was reported that she maintained notes while she was in prison. 

What I find even more strange is that rape victims such as Anne-Marie Ellement hang themselves after being bullied as no one believes their story & call them liars, but culprits such as Amanda Knox, & Raffaele Sollecito walk out victorious. So what if Rudy Guede is still in prison? Two culprits are breathing in fresh air & one is writing a tale & everyone is interested in that book & her so-called beauty, because she happens to be an American. 

No one even bothered to know as to how the family of Meredith felt or went through. The media wanted us to sympathize with the culprits. It’s heart wrenching how John Kercher kept on calling Meredith & received no reply. Eventually he called up a national newspaper to gather info as it was the only logical thing to do. He was told that a British girl’s mobile phone was found & they were in touch with people. However, nothing was confirmed. They didn’t have the name.

 “For the next 30 minutes I sit by the phone, trying not to feel so apprehensive. Then the phone rings. 

The call is from a young woman on the newspaper’s foreign desk. Hesitantly, she tells me they have a name for the victim. Though I ask for it, she is reluctant to tell me. She seems nervous herself and I have to persuade her to release the name. I shall never forget her words.

 ‘The name going round Italy,’ she says, ‘is Meredith.’

I drop the phone. I do not believe it. There has to be a mistake. I refuse to let the facts sink in. 

I repeat it over and over to myself: ‘Not beautiful Meredith . . . Not beautiful Meredith . . .’ 

Numb with shock, I cannot even cry.” 

Personally we do not know Meredith or Amanda Knox or Raffaele Sollecito, and Rudy Guede. We have read this horrible story in the newspapers & we have seen how an American girl gets away with murder. The very concept of justice has been insulted. Evidence was removed. Various kinds of theories were presented just to tell us that Amanda Knox has been the one who was wronged. Of course many of us refused to believe the crap that media wanted us to believe but so what! The ones who are guilty are free & that speaks highly about the corrupt system. 

Americans can commit murders just about anywhere & they can get away with it as well. I am really not in the mood to narrate the entire story of Raymand Davis who killed two Pakistanis & then judges acquit him on all charges. And the reason was again very simple: he too was an American. However, that speaks highly about the kind of world we live in where some people keep on talking about democracy & yet they help murderers, if they happen to be from their country. 

When someone commits a crime of any nature & anywhere in the world, his nationality shouldn't come in the process of justice. It's not that we are jealous of America & Americans, but no one ought to be above law. But this case & many more instances clearly prove otherwise.

Farewell Davis!

The inevitable has taken place. I had stopped reporting on the Davis case and was waiting for this final update. Thus, although things were already cooking quietly even the media got the news quite late just when the authorities decided to break the news to public.

Raymond Davis (CIA agent), who killed 2 Pakistani citizens in January in Lahore has been released after the payment of blood money to the families of the dead boys. Payment of blood money is in accordance with the Shariah Law.

It has been said that the relatives were forced to sign for blood money documents so that Davis could be released. Anyhow, none of the relatives were available to comment.

However, it is all useless now. According to reports the family members have forgiven Davis for the murder of their sons. They have taken the compensation money. TV reports say 19 crore rupees were given in compensation to the families and most probably they will be given US visas as well.

Davis has already been sent to Kabul, Afghanistan to meet up with his US officials. Thus, this case has been resolved. American has saved its guy! While Pakistan has received the "Shameless Nation Award" once again!

Raymond Davis Is A CIA Contractor

I am honestly a bit bored of Raymond Davis now but since I was covering this story I will write till this episode is over. So the latest update is that Raymond Davis is an undercover CIA contractor as confirmed by the Pakistani intelligence officials.

They say that there is no doubt that he was working with CIA as a contractor. The Pakistani intelligence officers are pretty sure that Raymond was doing things that were not in the best interest of the national security of Pakistan. It is said that he had close links with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). He was part of a team that was conducting surveillance on militant groups inside Pakistan. They also believe Davis was masterminding terrorist activities in different parts of Pakistan and was recruiting young people from Punjab for the Taliban. The cellphone records show that Davis had links with 33 Pakistanis of which 27 were militants from TTP and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.

According to more updates, it was during Musharraf's time in 2006 when a deal was cracked that allowed USA to conduct CIA operations in Pakistan so that they would know that Pakistan was not helping Taliban insurgents in anyway. As per this deal, Raymond Davis' job was to trail links of the Taliban and Al Qaeda in different parts of Pakistan but instead it was discovered that he had developed close ties with the TTP.

USA is now worried about global issues like Tunisia, Libya and Talibans spreading on a wider scale but it still wants Davis to be released soon.

On the other hand, there are reports on how the government is putting pressure on the victims families to withdraw the case while the religious political parties are pressurizing them to not let it go. There will be no espionage case against Davis but he will be tried for the double murders case.

Davis Case Updates - The Twist

The way Raymond Davis case was going, it was quite evident that this incredibly obvious case would ultimately be twisted and taken into completely different directions. Although, who would possibly have doubt in understanding that the American did in fact kill two people who didn't threaten him in anyway. A bystander died miserably for no reason by a few people in a car that came see that Davis stayed secured and well protected after killing two common Pakistanis. And then the suicide committed by the young wife of one of the men killed by Davis in protest against government's political change in attitude that would set Davis free.

Anyhow, now for the record US Senator John Kerry after his short visit to Pakistan regarding the Davis case things are taking another turn. It is being noticed that there is shift in the US stance from talking about diplomatic immunity to now blood money and compensation. Pakistan's government is worried that bad ties with US would mean heavy losses in aid of many forms, which is why they are suggesting low measures. 

Thus, now it is quite possible that US might apologize for the incident and would pay compensation to the heirs of the victims. Our puppet Prime Minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani was the one who urged US to tackle the case by thinking about the family members of those killed and the sentiments of the people of Pakistan who want justice.

On the other hand, it is reported that the all the families of the three victims have unanimously agreed on not accepting any compensation. They want death sentence for Davis. In fact, one of the victim's family refused to meet American Senator John Kerry who wanted to grief on the death of the young man. 

It is so strange that such a big nation like America can't support justice in this case and are going mad to release a man who did in fact commit  crime, which is so obvious. He did kill two men for no reason. Because of him another man died on the road. Indirectly, because of him a young girl who was expecting her first child also committed suicide. It is unfair the way this case is being handled. How can money compensate human life?
