Google shuts down Amanda Knox site WORLDWIDE, under orders from prosecutor Magnini

who didn't like what the Italian journalist had to say about him.

The site was shut down everywhere -- not just in Italy. How do you feel about this precedent? An Italian prosecutor being able to shut down a blogging site worldwide?

And, not surprisingly, the prosecution has been withholding-- and continues to withhold -- critical DNA evidence.

UPDATE: Google, under pressure from Prosecutor Giuliano Mignini, shut down Perugia Shock May 10, according to creator/blogger Frank Sfarzo. Already threatened by Perugia police, Frank says Mignini has accused him of defamation through the press. He wrote the only Amanda Knox case blog written in English by an Italian journalist in Perugia. See Perugia Shock on Wayback Machine.

“Mignini sued me for defamation,” Szarfo told West Seattle Herald tonight by phone from Perugia. “The lawsuit went to the court in Florence, and the judge in Florence made a decree of seizure of the blog. Google did it and did not tell me why, but that it was a judge order. I learned by email.”

“Mignini sued me,” he continued to the Seattle newspaper. “The real reason I don’t know. I wrote some sentences that he found (personally) insulting.”

Now to the main story:

Yes, the prosecution in the Amanda Knox case has been withholding evidence.
