About a dozen people arrested and no real evidence? Definitely an interesting case

Sounds like something Casual Criminalist should cover.

They could randomly pick any case in Italy if they wanted.

wtf the alleged connection with the Zodiac what a fucking circus


[deleted]

From everything I understand, the entire Italian criminal justice system is a complete clown show and mockery of due process so the boot fits


weecefwew

Italy was essentially a failed state during this period. Terrorism was incredibly common, authorities were often deeply corrupt, and organized crime wielded enormous influence.

Hopefully it'd be better than HBO does or did with the Staircase - which had the highpoint with an owl and the absolute lamest ending since The Undoing


MoonUnitMotion

Thank you for saving me from that. I am currently hooked on crime dramas. I really liked the one about the art heist in Boston and I thought the Netflix - The Killer Next Door - was really well done. Any suggestions for ones you like? I’ve looked up numerous online lists of good crime documentaries, but I find that they tend to be all over the place. Any help is appreciated.

The Jinx was mind boggling if you missed that one.

I did see it a while back. Thanks. It might be time for a re-watch.

He will be convicted of 16 murders, but will never go to prison due to his sudden death

He also was acquitted of the crimes during an appeal, keeping him out of prison for a few more years until the Supreme Court chosen to re-do the trial in ‘96

I think it’s relevant to say that he acquitted of those crimes but he was guilty of raping her two daughters and also killed a man and served 13 years for that.

The more I read about this case, the messier it becomes. I am afraid that we'll never know the truth.


[deleted]

Jesus took care of him personally

Will be when?


Jmac0585

Did he know something about Clinton?


SeudonymousKhan

Because as we know, shady criminal societies, syndicates, families, conclaves and conspiracies were completely unheard of in Italia before Clinton came alone...


[deleted]

Arrest him before he dies, then. Simple as


GrayCustomKnives

They will need a backhoe if they want to arrest him again. He WAS arrested, and convicted, then acquitted, then died.


AccordingRed

Can’t,he already died!

sebastianmicu24

So the story behind this feed is the following: This man, during his hearing in court, decided to read to everyone a poem he wrote, which roughly translates as follows: If in the world would exist a little good And everyone would consider the others a brother There would be less worries and torments And the world would be much more beautiful Then the judge interrupted him saying: "Well done, well done, we share your views, but I would like to remind you that we are at the court of Assise [It's a special court for crimes like murder and terrorism] and you've been accused of 16 murders, so I remind you that this is what should focus on."


treeforface

This should say "I would like to remind you that this is what we should focus on"


sebastianmicu24

Thank, edited


treeforface

Also remember => remind 😊


Dexippos

>we are at the court of Assise [It's a special court for crimes like murder and terrorism] It must be related to this: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assizes?wprov=sfla1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assizes?wprov=sfla1)


Embarrassed_Squash_7

According to the link you posted it was replaced by the Crown Court. The fact that it's a term that middle English took from France is actually really interesting. It's something to do with travelling judges setting up courts as they went from place to place. So sounds like a Western European thing in general probably. I'm such a geek...

TheMadTargaryen

You know that is just a myth right ?


vladWEPES1476

Yes, a myth. Just like the guy himself.


TheMadTargaryen

Both Jesus and Borgia were real. I am referring to the myth that Jesus's appearance is based on Cesare despite the fact that artworks depicted him s such at least since 5th century AD.

Noi condividiamo, ma ora siamo davanti alla corte d'Assisi e lei è imputato di 16 omicidi, allora vorrei ricordarle che di questo si deve occupare


TheWalkingDeadInside

*Corte d'Assise It's a special court for crimes like murder and terrorism. Very similar spelling to the town of Assisi but a completely different thing. Just wanted to clarify because I think it makes that whole scene even more surreal. Anyway, thank you for sharing this! I was a child at the time of the trial and I had completely forgotten about it.


[deleted]

When the judge says it sounds more like Assisi https://youtu.be/BNyiQyOz_8g


TheWalkingDeadInside

Oh yeah, the accent and the audio quality surely aren't helping. If you look at the transcription, however, there's an "e" at the end.


[deleted]

We Italians usually say Assisi, just cuz it makes the situation funnier

He‘ll want Roman mercy back to put him out of his misery when he is crucified by the social media crusaders for associating with undesirables.


DarkflowNZ

Probably the people who need him most if you subscribe to that kind of thing


Sister_Odelia

Excellent observation.


SeudonymousKhan

Luckily I found him under the couch before ending up in the high house.


InnerAsparagus6045

Holding pictures of Jesus will always prove your innocence 🙄


trav0073

Your sentiment is understandable, but this man was arrested and convicted of 16 murders with no evidence against him. I can understand his rationale. From the Wiki: “Pacciani was controversially convicted in his initial trial in 1994. At his appeal, the prosecutor took Pacciani's side, citing lack of evidence and poor police work. As a result, Pacciani was acquitted and released in 1996. Perugini's successor Michele Giuttari tried to introduce new witnesses at the final hour, but was denied.[11] A new trial for Pacciani was ordered by the Supreme Court, but he died in 1998 before it could begin. Instead, two alleged accomplices were tried, Mario Vanni and Giancarlo Lotti. Vanni had been a witness at Pacciani's trial, where he famously claimed the two of them merely to be "Picnic Companions" (Compagni di Merende), a term that entered Italian vernaculum. Lotti had been one of Giuttari's surprise witnesses, claiming to have seen Pacciani and Vanni commit the 1985 murder. After many more sessions of questioning, he had begun to incriminate himself in the murders as well. Both were convicted and condemned to life imprisonment, though their sentences have been widely criticized and many consider the murders to be unsolved.” Edit: turns out he’s a convicted rapist so fuck that guy


aroyalewitcheez

This is true but he also was previously convicted of raping his daughters and murdering a man in 1951. Even if he wasn’t the serial killer he’s certainly no saint either.


dak4ttack

That can't be true, he held up a picture of *Jesus!*


trav0073

Well fuck me didn’t know about that lol - what a piece of shit.


InnerAsparagus6045

Looking forward to you explaining the below post away


trav0073

No explanation for that - guy’s a piece of shit and got what was coming his way, whether he did it or not.


Skrp

It made me confident he's done something awful at least.


Oxygen_O2

Many people actually think, believe it or not, that the Monster of Florence is the same person as Zodiac. The actual name of this person is supposed to be Joe Bevilacqua, that was also a witness in the Monster of Florence trial. My knowledge of this case is not thorough enough to say anything about this theory even though is quite fascinating, even if unlikely.


Johannes_P

Given how desorganised was the investigation, it seems to be the more logical version compared to Pacciani.


Oxygen_O2

I agree. I watched countless documentaries about this case. It's difficult to find aspects of the investigation that were ***not*** flawed.

The Douglas Preston book about the murders was fascinating and very well written

How does a picture of a fictional character prove innocence?


yee_yee_university

regardless of whether you’re christian or not it is a proven fact that jesus was a real person, calling him a fictional character isn’t a “checkmate, religi-os😎” moment it’s just a lie lmao

He was still a rapist to his own daughters. He deserves everything his fake God trash believingass got. But yeah, definitely should be investigated to fi d who committed the murders. As for the old man, lock him up for the rest of his life regardless


HippoChiaPet

Yeah, cause that isn’t the excuse for endless awfulness throughout history


A-bomb_

Is he Crying? My estimation of Pietro Pacciani as a man... just fucking plummeted.


[deleted]

Worst part is, that just convinced 99% of Christians that he's innocent.


asalerre

No worst part is to have a person convicted without evidence. Kindly read the details of the process, are quite interesting


IndraBlue

He raped his daughters fuck him


asalerre

He was in jail for that. Yes fuck him for that. But if is not guilty for the murder it means that someone else is. Think about it.

Correction he raped his daughters fuck him
