Elisabetta Aldrovandi wrote that a document recovered from the Prosecutor's Office in Pavia confirmed the absence of genetic material on the spoon used by Chiara Poggi on the morning of the crime. She contrasted that document with the documentation provided to PM Muscio, which she claimed contained DNA that was manually reconstructed because it was unclear, but attributed without doubt to the victim. Aldrovandi also argued that the documentation reported a large quantity of DNA on the pedal of Alberto Stasi's bicycle, initially identified with certainty as blood and later indicated as such with a high probability. She recalled that a handwritten note from then Captain Marino instead reported the absence of blood and that the machine used for electrophoretic runs had produced two negative results for that DNA. The author stated that the data clarified what might have happened in the laboratory in September 2007. She deemed it unacceptable and unforgivable, in addition to the errors, any potential concealment of them, arguing that this could have contributed to biasing the investigation against Stasi, who was sentenced to 16 years in prison, of which he would serve nearly 11, with severe consequences for his life and reputation. #garlasco #giustizia #DNA #garlasco (translated)

Francesco wrote, referencing an article by Rita Cavallaro, that Captain Marino had traveled to Milan eight times in November 2011 — on the 7th, 10th, 14th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 29th, and 30th — to meet with prosecutor Laura Barbaini. According to reports, he had reached the Tribunal in his own vehicle after being summoned by Barbaini. Francesco indicated that the trips would have emerged from letters sent by Marino to the municipal police of Milan to request the cancellation of any fines received during the journey. The letters, he wrote, were among the documents in the “wardrobe of shame,” obtained at the Parma laboratory by the Prosecutor's Office of Pavia. He added that there were no notes or minutes regarding the reasons for the meetings or what Marino and Barbaini had discussed. In reconstructing the context, Francesco recalled that the first appeal trial for the Garlasco crime had started in Milan on November 8, 2011, and that Barbaini represented the prosecution as Deputy Attorney General. On November 22, during the closing arguments, she had requested 30 years in prison for Alberto Stasi, also contesting the aggravating circumstance of cruelty. Stasi had been acquitted on appeal in December 2011; subsequently, Francesco wrote, the Supreme Court had annulled the sentence and ordered a new trial in Milan in 2014, in which Barbaini maintained the same role and secured the conviction. #Garlasco #Giustizia #Sistema (translated)
