Amanda Knox’s latest trial for the murder of her once-roommate Meredith Kercher is under way, though she is keeping her distance, this time, after spending four years behind bars in Italy last time. Though the trial is commencing in Florence at an appeals court, Knox is safe and sound in her hometown of Seattle.
Here’s what she’s missing: Prosecutor Alessandro Crini wants to hit her and her ex-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, not only for the maximum 26-year prison sentence for murder, but she wants to tack on an additional four years to Knox’s sentence for slander.
After all, Knox suggested that a Congolese bartender, Patrick Lumumba, was the true murderer, and he spent several weeks in jail because of this, as CNN reported. He later won a defamation suit against her.
Crini highlighted the evidence against Knox and her ex, emphasizing their suspicious behavior after Kercher was discovered dead.
The new trial will address the problem of “lack of evidence” that a court in 2011 cited in justifying their original conviction in being overturned. The new trial will also address previous discrepancies in testimony.
Though Knox opted out of the opportunity to attend her trial, she won’t have that same option if she is finally convicted to 30 years in prison.
The evidence against Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito is overwhelming. They gave completely different accounts of where they were, who they were with and what they were doing on the night of the murder. Neither Knox nor Sollecito have credible alibis despite three attempts each. All the other people who were questioned had one credible alibi that could be verified. Innocent people don’t give multiple conflicting alibis and lie repeatedly to the police.
The DNA didn’t miraculously deposit itself in the most incriminating of places.
An abundant amount of Raffaele Sollecito’s DNA was found on Meredith’s bra clasp. His DNA was identified by two separate DNA tests. Of the 17 loci tested in the sample, Sollecito’s profile matched 17 out of 17. Professor Novelli pointed out there’s more likelihood of meteorite striking the courtroom in Perguia than there is of the bra clasp being contaminated by dust.
According to Sollecito’s forensic expert, Professor Vinci and Luciano Garofano, Knox’s DNA was also on Meredith’s bra.
Amanda Knox’s DNA was found on the handle of the double DNA knife and a number of independent forensic experts – Dr. Patrizia Stefanoni, Dr. Renato Biondo, Professor Giuesppe Novelli, Professor Francesca Torricelli, Luciano Garofano, Elizabeth Johnson and Greg Hampikian have all confirmed that Meredith’s DNA was on the blade. Sollecito knew that Meredith’s DNA was on the blade which is why he lied about accidentally pricking her hand whilst cooking.
According to the prosecution’s experts, there were five instances of Knox’s DNA or blood mixed with Meredith’s blood in three different locations in the cottage. Even Amanda Knox’s lawyers conceded that her blood had mingled with Meredith’s blood. In other words, Meredith and Amanda Knox were both bleeding at the same time.
Knox tracked Meredith’s blood into the bathroom, the hallway, her room and Filomena’s room, where the break-in was staged. Knox’s DNA and Meredith’s blood was found mixed together in Filomena’s room, in a bare bloody footprint in the hallway and in three places in the bathroom.
Rudy Guede’s bloody footprints led straight out of Meredith’s room and out of the house. This means that he didn’t stage the break-in in Filomena’s room or go into the blood-spattered bathroom after Meredith had been stabbed.
The bloody footprint on the blue bathmat in the bathroom matched the precise characteristics of Sollecito’s foot, but couldn’t possibly belong to Guede. Knox’s and Sollecito’s bare bloody footprints were revealed by Luminol in the hallway.
It’s not a coincidence that the three people – Knox, Sollecito and Guede – who kept telling the police a pack of lies are all implicated by the DNA and forensic evidence.
Amanda Knox voluntarily admitted that she was involved in Meredith’s murder in her handwritten note to the police on 6 November 2007. After she was informed that Sollecito was no longer providing her with an alibi, she stated on at least four separate occasions that she was at the cottage when Meredith was killed. At the trial, Sollecito refused to corroborate Knox’s alibi that she was at his apartment.
Knox accused an innocent man, Diya Lumumba, of murdering Meredith despite the fact she knew he was completely innocent. She didn’t recant her false and malicious allegation against Lumumba the whole time he was in prison. She acknowledged that it was her fault that Lumumba was in prison in an intercepted conversation with her mother on 10 November 2007.
If anybody wants to understand the reasons why Amanda Knox was convicted of murder, I recommend reading the translations of the official court documents and court testimony. They can be downloaded from the Meredith Kercher Wiki website:

Please disregard anything this individual has to say. This person has been stalking Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito all over the net for years. He is an “exalted” member of the bizarre guilters club. These people spend their free time and enormous amounts of energy online going from website to website verbally abusing two innocent young people they don’t know It is an exceptionally frightening and very dark group obsession..
Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito had nothing whatsoever to do with the brutal sexual assault and murder of Meredith Kercher. Rudy Guede murdered Meredith all by himself…he didn’t any help. His forensic material was found all over her tiny bedroom and in and on her body. No forensic material belonging to either Amanda or Raffaele was found in the room. The bloody footprint in the hallway was proven to belong to Guede and NOT to Sollecito (as Rag well knows). Harry Rag goes on and on and 99.9% of what he says is misinformation and outright lies.
Rudy Guede was originally sentenced to 30 years in prison. That sentence was cut to 16 years and now he will be out in May of 2014 after having served only ~7 years for this grisly crime. Posters like Rag would have you believe they are doing honor to Meredith Kercher…and yet none of them, including Rag, care in the least that Guede will be out of prison next year and back on the street to potentially murder someone else’s daughter. They do Meredith no honor with their ugly and harassing posts, nor do they care a whit about her death. If they did, they would be protesting Guede’s release loud and clear instead of persecuting Amanda and Raffaele.

Wish I’d said that! Bravo!
Pull the other one!
Care to mention your hero Frank Sforza (just one of his many alias’s)?
It is rich to accuse a poster of being obsessive when you know of Knox advocate FS’s rancid behaviour.
Even Knox’s parents had to have him removed from their home after he tried to sleep with her. What about all the letters he fired her way whilst she was in prison?
What about his various assault charges against a woman, old men, his own mother and sister, whilst trying to extort money from them on the pretence of needing it to defend Knox? Lets not forget he also likes to bite police officers.
His criminal behaviour has now has him being banned from ever entering the States and Canada.
How ironic – whilst Knox waits for her extradition she will not be allowed to leave the States, and FS is banned from entering. It will be driving him potty.
Knox groupies skim over this type of behaviour, they are so desperate for believers that they have left any morals they had in the gutter.
What type of people defend a sadistic killer who has already been found guilty.
This type have no feelings or sympathy for the graceful and dignified Kercher family, many have accused the Kerchers of chasing blood money after blaming them for the latest trial.
Various posters have accused John Kercher of ‘going after Knox and Sollecitio’ as the are high class and prestigious killers compared to Guede who originates from the Ivory Coast!
Get your tissues at the ready, especially the fanatic Joe Starr, as Knox will be found guilty (once again) tomorrow.
This is a guy with a lot of time on his hands.
Way, way too much…lol!
He must not have a family or any girl friends. Just the one that dumped him that Amanda reminds him of. He’s a pathetic joke.
Sad that you obviously need to bolster your own confidence by (trying) to insult posters. A typical sign of NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder).
You go for posters like Harry as they know and have truth behind every word they say.
This scares you as you know Knox will soon be paying for her crime for the next thirty years. Then what will you do with your little obsession 😉
Why did Amanda and Raf clean up only their DNA? WTF? How do you
do that. And if they did where is the evidence of all the small swipes of
bleach in the room!!! And why wouldn’t Amanda and Raf also clean up
their buddies DNA? They would not want him caught since he might
have pictures, etc. to implicate them! His light is on but nobody’s home!
People have gone ’round and ’round with jerks like this guy for 6 years, repeating the same data over and over. The questions should now be about their character not AKs. For example, how does he (harryrag) have so much time for this obsession of his? Why this obsession? Jilted love? Maturbate too much? Wife left him? Never had a wife but a blow up doll that he got from “Hustler” magazine? We need to know more about “Harryrag” as with the others.
Poor Jack, can you do no better?
Why do you, and we, need to know more about HarryRag and other posters who believe in truth, justice and morals.
It is creepy. Why would you want this information? To threaten people?
Posters are allowed their own opinions or do you believe in communism?
Matrurbate? Is that a new type of ‘self love’ that you like to perform 😉 LOL.
Knox had been into Meredith’s room before when Meredith asked her to take a photograph of herself standing in front of her window (which had a nice view). Meredith wanted the photograph to send to her parents.
Knox believers like to deny there being a clean up, but there would / should have been a trace of Knox left in the room at this point. The bra clasp has Sollecito’s DNA on it – this fact cannot be denied. The DNA did not miraculously fly through the air to place itself there to ‘set Sollecito up’.
Knox has told lie after lie and only fools have fallen for it.
You are a real loser, harry rag someone is paying you to spout this rubbish (endlessly!), aren’t they? Or are you just doing it to keep the controversy alive so you can cash in for a penny per word whenever a curious somebody clicks on it…?
Pathetic – have you nothing better to say?
Who immediately employed a PR team to act on behalf of their daughter? This is very unusual behaviour. The Knox family know, more than anyone, what their sociopathic daughter was and is capable of doing and employed people to spin the truth.
Not only will be Knox found guilty (again), but various family members and supporters will have civil suits coming their way.
Bye Knox..
All you need to know about this case is that Rudy Guede’s DNA, footprints, fingerprints, etc. were found all over the room where Meredith Kercher was murdered, and even inside Meredith’s body, yet there is no evidence at all that Amanda Knox or Raffaelle Sollecito were ever there.
How could a person participate in a Satanic o*r*g*y followed by a hand-to-hand struggle to the death in a little room without leaving any trace behind? It is impossible.
If Mignini hadn’t made up his ridiculous sex o*r*g*y theory out of his perverted imagination it would be obvious to everyone that Rudy Guede broke into the house and raped and murdered Ms. Kercher, and he acted alone.
Why do some people think that one man with a knife couldn’t kill a woman? It has happened many times before. Richard Speck murdered eight student nurses armed only with a knife.
Ah, but you forgot that AK and RS were wearing special designed moon suits for this crime. They had ordered them well in advanced, being arch criminal genius minds possessed of demonology.
There ARE no discrepancies. The previous judge just made a decision not to go over the same crap that had already been disproven and to get straight to the few things worth looking into. And they were all bogus. They’re completely 100% innocent of this crime, having nothing to do with it. This is the most ridiculous case in history.
fyi Alassandro is a man. If Crini were a ‘she’, she’d be Alessandra.
