AK is planning on selling her first interview and writing a book , so she will cash in

FIVE REASONS KNOX IS GUILTY
  1. The confession.
Knox confessed that she was in the house on the night of the murder and that she heard Miss Kercher scream, identifying a Congolese bar owner, Patrick Lumumba, as the assailant. She told the court during the trial that the confession was made under duress but then repeated the entire account in a five page memorandum the next morning.
  1. The false accusation.
The prosecution said the fact that Knox falsely accused Lumumba of being the killer was a sign of her own guilt and an attempt to throw them off her trail. He was arrested in a dawn raid by armed police and spent two weeks in jail. It was only by chance that a Swiss businessman read about the case and came forward to say he had been talking to Lumumba in his bar on the night of the murder — offering him a rock-solid alibi. Lumumba says Knox nearly ruined his life and is suing her for defamation.
  1. The alibi.
Sollecito could not back up Knox’s alibi on the night of the murder.

She claimed she spent the evening with him, smoking marijuana, watching the French film Amelie and making love. But Sollecito told police he could not remember if Knox was with him that evening or not.

Even assuming his memory was hazy because of the drugs, it seemed odd that a young man who had just embarked on a new relationship could not recall whether he had spent the night with his girlfriend or not.
  1. Computer and telephone records.
Sollecito claimed he used his computer to download and watch cartoons and Amelie. But computer experts told the court that there was no activity on his laptop between 9.10pm on Nov 1, and 5.32am the next morning — the time frame in which the murder took place.

Knox and Sollecito turned off their mobile phones on the night of the murder, from around 8.40pm, and turned them back on at around 6am, inviting further suspicion.
  1. The staged break-in.
A bedroom belonging to one of Miss Kercher’s Italian flatmates was ransacked on the night of the murder, with a window smashed with a rock. But police said the break-in was staged - broken glass from the window was found on top of clothes scattered on the floor, suggesting the window was broken after the contents of the room were messed up. Prosecutors accused Knox and her boyfriend of staging the break-in to make the killing look like a burglary that had turned into rape and murder.

These reasons seem pretty strong to me.

telegraph.co.uk “Amanda Knox: Guilty or innocent, five reasons why”

FIVE REASONS KNOX IS INNOCENT
  1. Lack of motive.
There still seems to be no convincing motive for the murder.

Prosecutors said tensions between Knox and Miss Kercher had reached boiling point over disagreements about housework, hygiene and boyfriends. They claimed Knox was driven to rage by jealousy towards her British flatmate. But it seemed far-fetched to claim that such relatively minor differences would lead Knox to kill.
  1. Lack of DNA.
None of Knox’s DNA was found in the bedroom in which Miss Kercher was stabbed to death. The prosecution claimed that Knox’s DNA was on the handle of the presumed murder weapon, a kitchen knife, and Kercher’s genetic material on the blade, linking the American to the killing.

They also said that Sollecito’s DNA was found on the clasp, which had been cut or torn off the bra, proving that he took part in the attack too.

But a review of the evidence by two independent experts from La Sapienza University in Rome found that the DNA traces were too low to be reliable and so small that they could not be retested.

The bra clasp was only found six weeks after the initial crime scene investigation, by which time it had been kicked around the floor of Miss Kercher’s bedroom, leading to a high risk of contamination.
  1. No witnesses.
The prosecution struggled to come up with witnesses who could place Knox and Sollecito at the scene of the crime. A homeless drug addict, Antonio Curatolo, told the initial trial that he had seen Knox and her boyfriend arguing on the night of the murder near the scene of the crime. But during the appeal he gave confusing and contradictory evidence, mixing up dates, and admitted to regularly using heroin, further undermining his credibility.

Even Rudy Guede, the Ivory Coast-born drifter who was also convicted of the murder, initially said that Knox was not in the house on the night of the murder. He changed his story a few months after his arrest, saying that on coming out of the bathroom he had grappled with a stranger, who could have been Sollecito, and that he saw Knox’s silhouette outside the house.
  1. Doubts over the murder weapon.
Police and prosecutors said Miss Kercher was killed with a 6.5 inch long kitchen knife found in Sollecito’s apartment. But the blade of the knife did not match two out of three of the wounds to her neck.

Nor did it match a bloody, knife-shaped smear on Miss Kercher’s bedclothes. The trial judge said that two knives must have been used; the second has never been found.
  1. The false confession.
The defence said that when Knox “confessed” to being in the house on the night of the murder and could remember hearing Miss Kercher scream, she was traumatised and acting under extreme psychological pressure after an all night interrogation by police. Knox told the trial that during the questioning she had been cuffed around the head by an officer and told that if she did not start cooperating she would face decades in jail. She was questioned without a lawyer being present and at the time she knew only basic Italian.

Makes me wonder if Amanda Knox’s Lawyer will counter sue the Italian Government Justice Dept for a reckless mismanagement of Justice seeing that she spent four years in prison innocent.

But they are alike in that they both were able to hire good enough lawyers to have DNA evidence that proved their guilt tossed and walked out guilty as sin but free as a bird.

Don’t forget that she was sentenced to 3 years for false accusation and that was upheld. It did not affect her release since she had already served almost 4 years. Just like Casey Anthony.

Um, according to the courts, SHE is a victim. The court declared her innocent.🤷

Why would the family of another victim get any of the money made off of a book by Amanda Knox?

Her footprints were not in the blood. This was brought out in the recent appeal. They did find footprints of hers, but the Prosecution had only implied that they were in blood. In fact, test showed that they were not bloody at all. All physical evidence against her was shown to not apply in this case, hence it was all thrown out in the appeal.

Bare footprints in one’s own apartment are hardly unusual. If Judge Napalitino believes they found bloody footprints of Amanda Knox then he hasn’t really followed the case.

Peace and God bless!
 
she looks like a spoiled brat, she is involved somehow, her wild ways will get her in trouble again…and she will burn in hell which will wipe that cute smile off her face !!

I wouldn’t want you on my jury. Somehow you think she is guilty because she looks like a “spoiled brat?”

American courts find guilty or not guilty. It seems that the Italian court found her innocent.

But I don’t speak Italian, so I am simply going by the translators.
 
Even if you throw out the DNA evidence…AK STILL FALSELY ACCUSED her boss
of being at that apartment. If you were truly innocent…why would you accuse another human?

She never even apologized for her false accusation. Mr Lummumba was put in jail for two weeks and undoubtedly, treated unfairly. Again, NO APOLOGY or WITHDRAW from AK.

AK appears to be very selfish and self centered.
Oh yeah, she and Rapheal were making out while Cops investigated the apartment.
That was documented with a video camera. Didn’t appear to be too concerned about her room-mate being slashed to death.

I have seen this explained as follows: Amanda was questioned for over 50 hours. The police were demanding answers to things that she had no clue about. The victim was found with African hairs in her left hand. They pressured Amanda to confess to a crime that she did not commit, for hours, even resorting to hitting her. After hours of interrogation, as one person put it “she was not Joan of Arc” and collapsed under the pressure, naming her African boss. That, coupled with the fact that she had a text on her phone from earlier in the evening that the Italians could not understand in the American context. Her boss told her there was no need to come in to work that night and she texted back OK and “See you later.” They wanted to know why she would see him later and what it meant. The simple explanation that it was just an American expression that did not specify a particular time in the future was incomprehensible to the people questioning her. If innocents hadn’t been jailed for four years, the police incompetence would be “laughable”.

If Amanda had been involved in killing Meredith, the violent manner in which the victim was killed would mean that Amanda’s DNA should be all over Meredith’s room and body. There was not ONE speck of Amanda’s DNA in Meredith’s room or on Meredith (the scene of the crime). The evidence points to Rudy Guede acting alone. The prosecutor is under investigation for corruption already. Research Mignini, especially the case in which even a middle-aged American man crumbled under Mignini’s interrogations. Imagine the pressure on a 20-year-old.
 
you should check out the website truejustice.org.

A LOT of unanswered questions…like the TWO types of footprints found in the blood, how
the washing machine was running, how a burglary had been staged, how AK and her boyfirend had no cell phone activity AT ALL during the time of the murders.
The list goes on and on.

She also DID ACCUSE her boss. BIG TIME. and never apologized.

I will say this, perhaps AK did not actually do the actual murder itself. But I would bet
she and her boyfreind were present when it all went down. Both were drug users and rudy dude was a pusher.
 
Why would it be so sad? I do not shed one tear that Hitler is very likely in hell.
People reap what they sow, in this life AND the next.

You certainly are quick to judge someone whom the judge himself has admitted many wanted jailed just because she was American. There is no DNA in the crime scene in Meredith’s room or on Meredith herself. There is absolutely no way that Amanda could have participated in such a physical and violent crime and leave no DNA at the scene. Yes, her DNA is in the rest of the house. She lived there! The only DNA in the room and on and in Meredith is Rudy Guede’s. Even his hair and handprints were found in Meredith’s hand and on her pillow. His bloody fingerprints are on her purse and around the room. There is no way that Amanda and Raffaele cleaned up only their DNA leaving no trace and only Rudy’s. There was no bloody footprint of Amanda, just a footprint in the house that was not bloody because she lived there. Wouldn’t it be odd not to find her footprint somewhere? Where is Amanda’s DNA in the crime scene, Meredith’s room and body? The rest of the evidence that you say to read on that particular website has been answered already elsewhere. Amanda retracted the accusation against her boss almost immediately, but it was ignored because the police has their own narrative and nothing that did not fit that narrative was accepted.

This website answers the one that you posted:

If you research the prosecutor Mignini, too, you’ll see that he is under investigation for corruption and has a history of concocting bizarre crime theories.

In particular, look at the egregious attempt by the prosecution and media to generate animosity against Amanda Knox by claiming that the pink-stained bathroom was the room in which Amanda showered that morning. It was never explained to the public that the pink stains were from chemicals used by investigators, not blood, and that the bathroom looked nothing like that when she showered.
