I wish this case were tried in a US court for a variety of reasons. Guilty or not, the accused deserves a fair trial. The victim's deserve a fair trial too. A show trial or sham trial is worthless. At least in the US you have to convince the jury of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and also the crime has to have happened as it is described. In this case, while Knox might very well be guilty of SOMETHING... I don't necessarily buy the prosecution's version of the events. What evidence there is in the case is muddled and contradictory. There is so much in the news that has never been presented in court, and with no one sequestered, its hard to know what the Jury will actually go with. The prosecution has several versions of what happened... sex game, Knox was angry at the victim, etc. Some evidence is there... some doesn't fit like the so called murder weapon not matching the knife wounds on the body. The case just needs a more thorough court to handle it all and in a timely manner.
What news was not presented in court? The knife does match the fatal wound, plus has DNA of both Amanda and Meredith on it. On the timely part you may be right, but on the thorough part I don't think so much. You know that like 10 judges look over the evidence to see if it is satifactory for a possible prosecution right?
If innocent, there is absolutely NO reason to tell repeated lies as Amanda and Raffaele have done. Why would one killer, clean up a crime scene but leave obvious signs that that person was there? Why was there a staged break-in?
Who and why would Meredith's position be moved and tampered with? Who would benefit by steering LE towards the idea of a break-in and rape? Who could 'clean up' the crime scene without much worry of being interrupted?
Again, why lie at all... not to mention over and over???
