Italian Unfairly Imprisoned in Central Valley Prison PDF Stampa E-mail

Unfair. This is the first word you imagine when you think about Carlo Parlanti’s trial.

He is an Italian man, born in Montecatini, a small town in the middle of Italy, who for many years has lived in the United States and traveled all around the world because of his job as an information technology manager.

One day, landing in Germany, as usual after one of his trips, he was arrested by Interpol according to a complaint against him for forcible rape, corporal injury against a co-habitant and false imprisonment by violence. This complaint was presented by Mrs Rebecca White, his American roommate. Jealousy? Revenge? Mental problems?

Nobody really knows why she made these accusations, but what is sure now is that Carlo has already spent five years inside one of the most terrifying jails of the world, the Avenal State Prison in central California.

Unless something changes, Carlo is going to spend another two years there.  

Fake evidence, fake tests, fake reports and a conspiracy between lawyers of Parlanti and his judges are the things that caused his imprisonment, according to the documents published (see www.carloparlanti.com/CrimeScene.htm) by his girlfriend and legal representative Katia Anedda.

This evidence is supported by experts in their fields, like the famous criminologist Marco Strano; Dr. Agnesina Pozzi, a Ph.D. in medicine and surgery and is listed in the Registry of Forensic Expert Advisors Affiliated with the Court of Lagonegro (PZ); and Dr. Matteo Pacini, a specialist in psychiatry at the University of Pisa. Why? Because of a long series of mistakes and omissions that step-by-step became too hard to fix for the court, it was really easier to imprison an innocent man.  

“With those evidences, any honest judge or lawyer would be able to take Carlo out of there,” says Katia who since 2005 has led an effort to tell his story, forcing Ventura County (see  www.carloparlanti.com/Reports.htm) to revise the case. But the problems for Parlanti did not end with his imprisonment. The Avenal State Prison is the most overcrowded jailhouse in the state; it was designed for about 3,000 people but now has more than 7,000 people housed inside.  

Parlanti has suffered both psychologically and physically under detention. Because of the poor medical conditions inside the jail, he contracted hepatitis C, which has further undermined his health.

During phone calls from the prison, he told Anedda about violence, solitary confinement, and many other harassments he has suffered inside the prison. The more media attention Anedda got on Parlanti’s case, the more some guards and the administration of the prison unloaded their pressure against him with any kind of excuse, giving him a month more of detention for “bad behavior.” 

During a recent trip to the United States, Anedda presented, in the name of Parlanti, complaints (see www.carloparlanti.com/Reports.htm) against all the people involved in the case during these years who never tried to discover the truth.

But the answer was always the same, “You need a lawyer.” After five different lawyers who only seemed to be interested in the money, the trust is gone and the money too. Dozens of people met in spontaneous committees in order to help Carlo.

Even some politicians have decided to take part in order to put a spotlight on all the inconsistencies of the trial. Here (see www.carloparlanti.it/Interrogazioni.htm) you can find some names of the people who helped focus international public attention on the conditions of Parlanti’s detention.

But governments change, politicians change and the only sure thing is that Parlanti is still in jail.  For those who want to have more information about the case, follow its development or keep in touch with Carlo and Katia, go to www.thepeoplevscarloparlanti.com/ where you can find all the official documents of the case, all the evidence and pictures, all the news from the prison and all the contact information to help or support.

You will discover how easy it can be for anybody to fall inside a similar situation and that’s why whoever can, must help. Help thousands of people like Carlo to not be prisoner of the silence.

Ref 267/09 RE: in the matter of Carlo Parlanti

This is to inform you that in order to maximize my  effectiveness in carrying out to review of Carlo Parlanti is trial per your instructions,

I’m going to require additional months because of the sheer volume and complexity of material.

These challenges include  logistic and documentation issues, practical and skills related factors as well as the need to coordinate schedules .

I feel compelled to tell you without a shadow of a doubt the investigations related to Carlo Parlanti's case, as ducted bye the detectives ,have the following characteristics :

A. they are full of gaps based on conjecture and on falling in love with the accusatory thesis

B. They are biased and directed at demonstrating the responsibility of Mr. Parlanti

C. They are without regard for scientific logical criminal criminological and investigative canons and without regard for natural and scientific laws.

D. They have been handled with a suspicious belief in Mr Parlanti's guilt . they are impregnated with a malice against him that cannot be explained . They are certainly full of investigative and judical bias .

E. Their partisan behavior is benevolent and partial in favor of their "star-witness and grand ms Rebecca White .

F. They have disrespected the sciences of crime scene analysis ,analysis of interaction of criminal events, and time behavior synchronisms .

G .They are full of contradictions ,evaluation  errors, disregarding the rules of criminal investigation analysis .

It goes without saying that such a poorly conducted investigation along with the assumption of guild that emerges from the trial transcripts  could not produce anything other than the unjust conviction of Mr. Carlo Parlanti .

Dear Sir,I do not know if you realise that the content of your e mail is scandalous and offensive to human intelligence.I have spoken to three different investigators at your office and on the following pages http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GRrJl8Rup8 you  will find the statement of  Mr Greg Hayes  which confirms that investigations will be made. Perhaps at that time Mr. Hayes did not know that you wanted to keep everying covered up. This is an offence to human intelligence. I would like to bring your attention also to the recording of  Mr. Romero http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE-HbCMqvVc 

“If she presented false evidence, if she lied she is a criminal”

Is is not perhaps true that the alleged victim declared: 

Day 8 dicember Direct examination,
web file from pag 157 (http://www.thepeoplevscarloparlanti.com/atti/ing/8dic(2).PDF)
 

Now, you testified that you took some photographs ofyourself, correct?
A. Yes.
Q Where were you in your apartment when you took thosephotographs?
A.        In my bathroom, sitting on top of the toilet. 

Here you will see the photos of the bathroom and the http://www.carloparlanti.com/Leaflets.htm and this from a logical and technical point of view should clearly show that she is lying. But there is more, and it is this: http://www.carloparlanti.com/Exp1.htm And you well know that in the place of the “omissis” there are particulars which show in a detailed and scientific manner that the woman lied in court. 

Again, at the hearing on 9th December 2005 (http://www.thepeoplevscarloparlanti.com/atti/ing/9dic(1).htm)  

Q.     And the -- when you developed all those photos, all 12 photos, you developed them where?
A.     Like at an Eckerds.  Is that what you're asking me?
Q.     What city, for instance?
A.     Parker, Oklahoma.
Q.     When you went back to Oklahoma, you had them developed, correct?
A.     Yes.Q.     You probably kept all the pictures together, correct?
A.     Yes. 

You know well that the orginal photos are printed on a different paper and are a different size to the those taken in the house. Other lies and presentation of false evidence, so much so that Mr. Gilbert Romero only produced to the jury photocopies of those on the file, and not the originals. Seeing that your detective Leslie Robertson at our last meeting made me note the different size of the photo, could it be that you knew that the evidence was false? Do you remember the deposition of Dr. Munchester? http://www.thepeoplevscarloparlanti.com/atti/ing/15Dic2005.pdf  pag 1209  speaks about the healing of the bone tissue of the ribs that goes from 2 to 6 weeks. Various experts, even American, say that the healing and appearance of the bone callus goes from 6 to 8 weeks.

Considering that the x-rays were done on the 22nd July, the fractures could not have been from mid-June and therefore the injury occurred before the alleged attack so either the doctor lied or the doctor is not a professional.I challenge any doctor to find coherence in what was stated at the hearing on the pages indicated above,  with what is the reality of the facts declared by Dr. Pozzi  at this link  (http://www.carloparlanti.com/Exp3.htm)   and about what was written in the medical report of 22nd July at this link (http://www.thepeoplevscarloparlanti.com/atti/ing/MDReport.pdf) , as I also challenge any doctor to declare that the medical report of the 5th November  (http://www.thepeoplevscarloparlanti.com/atti/ing/DrFore.pdf) is congruent, after 5 months the woman had a black eye ….no, before, now when went to the policeAnd avoid any interpretation it does not say “has been” or “it resulted in..”  it says “has a…(omissis) very black eye resulting from…” either it has it, or the doctor was incapable of describing the fact. Confirmed again here (http://www.thepeoplevscarloparlanti.com/atti/ing/Isterectomy.pdf) second indicationI would like to remind you that at the trial, a case was opened on three things:  the accusation of the woman, photographs and ribs  - all three have been proved to be implausible. It has been shown to you that the woman produced diaries that were not put into circulation before June 2002, but they were dated January of that year, further false evidence apart from all the perjury in court.  How can a statement similar to the one below be accepted in a court: 

“Ma'am, you testified on direct examination thatMr. Parlanti put his -- on the night of the 29th of June of'02, put his hand inside of your vagina. You describe it ashis fist; is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q And your testimony was that once he inserted hisfist into your vagina, he tried to open his hand; is thatcorrect?
A. I believe so, yes.
Q And when you say he inserted his fist, ma'am, youmean his whole hand up to his wrist; is that correct?
A. Yes.
13 Dec 2005 pag 32 line 13 (http://www.thepeoplevscarloparlanti.com/atti/ing/13_dic.pdf) Here the consistence (http://www.thepeoplevscarloparlanti.com/atti/ing/Anatomy.htm)

Considering then that the woman underwent a total hysterectomy at the age of 30, fourteen years previously as is shown by a certificate in the link (http://www.thepeoplevscarloparlanti.com/atti/ing/Isterectomy.pdf), I challenge any doctor and reasonable person to say that she did not lie.

Mr. Romero said “if the woman lied, she is a criminal”. And I add that in civilised countries, criminals are prosecuted. You will find interesting documents in the links,  tha the Prosecutor’s Office knows about, but that the rest of the world will also hav e to know because all of this throws a shadow on the the categories of doctors  and lawyers in the USA,  and  also the judicial system of a civilised country which seems to be able to be manipulated at will.Will you answer that there are no grounds for prosecuting those people who are cheating the State and stealing money from real victims of violence? Other important facts. Your statement - “The District Attorney is not required to file all possible criminal cases, but is vested with substantial discretion in selecting which cases to charge and at what level”  offends the American constitution, justice and good sence. I would be worried if I was a citizen of Ventura county to have a Prosecutor who prosecutes criminals according to his convenience and yet keeps his position

I will continue to make public crimes that have been committed but that have not been prosecuted, for the simple reason that you know the truth but you do not want justice and this brings you down to the same level as those who have committed the crimes.  By not prosecuting these criminals you are at the same level as they are.

Finally, at the end of your e mail the statement “As noted in the prior message sent to you, you are free to pursue your claims further by contacting the State of California Office of the Attorney General.”   Seems ridiculous seeing that the Attorney General writes : “please be advised that California law gives discretionary authority to a locally elected prosecutor in filing criminal actions” It isn’t difficult to see that the game is, but it is a shame that this game destroys humans lives.I remember what was said during a conversation with your detective Mr. Hayes (soon possible I will put online):  “Well, if this documentation is true, you are saying that there has been a conspiracy?” Well, it's clear that there was a conspiracy against Carlo made by three women. Unlike to what Romero says: "it's my duty towards Carlo and society to correct a bad thing", (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ADia3G4vOg)  it seems that your DA Office is doing its best to ignore this bad thing, trying to silence us.  If what has been written is not true then you must say that I am defaming you, but you must prove it. If what is written is true then it means that you are accomplice to the crimes that you do not want to prosecute.

Subject: Investigation Determination
 

Dear Ms. Anedda: In general, the District Attorney’s Office does not investigateallegations of criminal conduct.  Instead, our office relies upon locallaw enforcement agencies to complete an investigation and then refer theinvestigative reports to our office for a decision as to whether or notthe evidence is sufficient to prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Then, a deputy district attorney will review the facts in the reportsand apply the law to those facts to make a filing decision.  Thespecific factual circumstances and the specific statutory definition ofthe crime as well as the applicable statute of limitations andjurisdiction requirements are necessary to make a decision as to whetheror not a criminal prosecution by our office is appropriate.  Inaddition, we adhere to our ethical obligations, which include not filinga criminal charge unless there is a reasonable probability of being ableto prove the charged offense in court to a jury of twelve persons. You contend that the District Attorney’s Office must prove a negativeas to a number of specific factual claims that you have set forth.  Thatis not the law and the District Attorney’s Office declines to engagein the debate or the process that you appear to seek. In California, the district attorney of each county is the publicprosecutor and is vested with the power to charge persons within thatjurisdiction with criminal offenses.  The District Attorney is notrequired to file all possible criminal cases, but is vested withsubstantial discretion in selecting which cases to charge and at whatlevel. With respect to your allegations of criminal conduct by Rebecca White(the victim in the Carlo Parlanti prosecution), the DistrictAttorney’s Office agreed to review the information provided,because of its direct relationship to the criminal prosecution of CarloParlanti.  That review has been completed and you have been advised thatthere is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution basedupon a claim that Rebecca White or anybody else committed any crimesrelating to the Carlo Parlanti prosecution. As noted in the prior message sent to you, you are free to pursue yourclaims further by contacting the State of California Office of theAttorney General.  This office will not be responsive to repeatedrequests to take action that we have determined should not be taken. 

Very truly yours,

From : Community Alliance

By Valentina Cervelli

[Editor’s note: The case of Carlo Parlanti has attracted worldwide attention, particularly in Europe.  How interesting that so few of us living in the Central Valley (where he is incarcerated), know nothing about him, his case, or the extraordinary efforts being made to hold a new hearing.  Supporters say that new evidence will prove his innocence.  The following article, a Community Alliance exclusive, comes to us from Italy.]

He has been locked up for 4 years in the Avenal state prison.  In Italy, he is the symbol of the innocent unjustly detained.  His story is so well known that even a group of European parliamentarians have decided to take part to clear his name and demand his freedom.  His name is Carlo Parlanti.  He was born in Montecatini Terme, Tuscany, and he became one the most blatant examples of unjust detention at an international level.

When entering his name in any search engine you will get thousands of sites, blogs and videos telling his sad story. Even in China and Taiwan there are videos dedicated to him.  Carlo Parlanti was accused of rape and kidnapping. His arrest took place in July 2004, while he was in Düsseldorf, Germany, waiting to board a flight to Italy, where he was employed.

In the period between 2002 and 2004, the time when he was (allegedly) a futitive, Carlo Parlanti travelled to different countries such as Canada, England, Ireland, and Gibraltar, where he worked  without anyone to notify him that an international arrest warrant had been issued against him.

Carlo Parlanti remained in German detention for months. Despite the lack of evidence against him, Germany made a request of evidence to justify detention beyond the mere complaint of his alleged victim and even though German authorities received only a generic report, they decided to extradite Mr. Parlanti to the United States anyway.

In December 2005 the trial began in Ventura County, which had jurisdiction over the case. His Italian criminal record was counterfeited, stating that Mr. Parlanti was accused of armed robbery and rape in Italy. But the Italian criminal record acquired when Parlanti was already in custody for months in Germany, was spotless.

Despite all of this Carlo Parlanti was sentenced to nine years’ imprisonment.  His case became internationally known largely because the trial transcripts, which are posted online show a total lack of evidence against Parlanti.  Many believe that Parlanti right to a fair trial was violated.

By looking at the online records you will notice the absence of a medical certificate attesting to the violence suffered by the alleged victim (subjected to a medical examination, the doctor couldn’t find signs of the alleged violence) and the total contradictions of the same story with the evidence found on the crime scene.   The unreliability of the accuser during the hearings, already sanctioned by the court of another state, also calls into question that the crime took place. 

Because of these contradicting stories, dozens of people met in spontaneous committees in order to help Mr. Parlanti. Even some politicians have decided to take part in order to put a spotlight on all the inconsistencies of the trial.

The first to take part and give his political and personal contribution was Umberto Guidoni, well known astronaut and now Italian Parliamentarian at the European Union. He, as first petitioner, through a bipartisan appeal to the Italian and European government, asked to clear Mr. Parlanti name.  Other Italian politicians have helped; among them Marco Zacchera, who personally went to the USA to see the conditions at the Avenal prison, and Gino Bucchino, who has given his personal and economic contribution to help the Parlanti’s family. Thanks to them the Parlanti’s case has attracted international attention, thus focusing wider public attention on the conditions of Parlanti’s detention. 

As previously mentioned, Carlo Parlanti is currently held in Avenal State Prison, 60 miles southwest of Fresno.

Avenal, is the most populated prison of the State: it was designed for about 3,000 people; it currently houses more than 7,000.  The life of Carlo Parlanti is marked by counting and by the typical experiences of each prison: food delivery, mail delivery, the ability to enter and exit the yard, & working within the Prison.

Carlo Parlanti is in a protected yard, together with other people accused of sexual offenses. This is to protect him from possible attacks from the general prison population, which often times attacks people charged with similar offenses.

Parlanti has suffered both psychologically and physically under detention.  He has develop a lung infection of unknown origin that has cut in half his lung capacity.  While in prison he also contracted hepatitis C, which has further undermined his health. The type of bunk has exacerbated the bad case of sciatica he suffers because of the crushing of two vertebrae.

Carlo Parlanti, unlike the other detainees, has the chance to see his loved ones only if they manage to find the necessary means to fly half way around the world.  The only contact he has with his friends, family, and the people who support him, is through phone calls, which are restricted because of his status as a prisoner.  Through these few minutes of conversation he can feel the affection of his loved ones, discuss his case, and continue to fight in order to prove his innocence.

What strengthens Carlo each day is the ability to continue to fight for his innocence. In his suffering, he manages to help his companions too: he created the Avenal Voice blog, (http://avenalvoice.blogspot.com) where one can find poems and art works of the prisoners of Avenal.  Through this blog a prisoner of the same yard where Parlanti lives was able to get back in touch with his family when his family read an article in which Carlo named this particular inmate.

The person who is writing this article is one of the people who read the story of Carlo Parlanti on the Web, read the transcripts and pleadings and documents related to his case, and it was struck by the innocence of this man and his strength of mind.  A woman, like dozens of other women who have formed a spontaneous committee to assist Parlanti in order to put an end to this miscarriage of justice!  There is no need to list the reasons for which we (the above politicians and I) believe that Carlo Parlanti is innocent. We can more easily show the reasons to you.

The published transcripts of proceedings on http://www.thepeoplevscarloparlanti.com prove the many inconsistencies that have characterized the stories of the alleged victim through the different hearings. You can see that as witnesses, including policemen, have pointed out that the woman, who declared under oath of having been savagely beaten, showed no evidence on her body; they also pointed out that the home, which should have been a "war camp" according to the victim’s statements, seemed perfectly in order and also the bed, described as “a pool of blood”, mattress included, appeared clean and that no stain of blood or signs of a brawl have been discovered by criminal scientific investigators.  We can also show to you, the readers, Carlo Parlanti’s Italian criminal record at http://www.carloparlanti.it/Public/fedinapenale.jpg
 (it is clean and he was never charged with any offense).

You can see with your own eyes, at http://www.carloparlanti.com/leaflets.htm,  the pictures of the alleged victim. Those pictures show how they were taken in different time periods; we can also bring to your attention the many inconsistencies of a process in which justice has not won. That's because against an innocent man, Carlo Parlanti, continues to have crimes perpetrated against him, denying him the basic human rights that everyone deserves - the right to health and to a fair trial.
