I know it wasn't translated at the time, but using the Massei report as Sinai did makes the test much more effective.

It's not just that it hadn't been translated; it hadn't even been written!

It came out in March, around the same time as Bruce Fisher's excellent Injustice in Perugia site went up. If I were proposing this experiment today, those would be the sources I would use (i.e. the Massei-Cristiani report for pro-guilt, and IIP, including the appeal summaries, for pro-innocence).

Believe it or not, True Justice for Meredith Kercher represented about the highest quality pro-guilt advocacy available at the time of this post.
