many police officer and Vendetti's family blamed his partner for lying on the stand, and identifying the wrong people. The 2 men on trial with Giovenelli had multiple witnesses saying they were home. Burke originally never mentioned them as having been on the scene. Days later she said they were there. Eyewitnesses proved they were not. She also said Giovaneli saw her and ordered her to stand with her partner, thinking they were a hit team. I don't think he would have thought a woman was part of a hit team. This is a New York Times article published a few years after the trails.
