i am finding some of the recent comments about amanda utterly appalling. surely there are other forums on the web better suited to such a discussion?
Yes, so she is a convicted criminal. No reason to treat her like a celebrity IMO.Amanda's appeal to the ECHR is on the grounds that her rights to a fair trial and her human rights were violated in getting a coerced confession. The ECHR states that it cannot quash a conviction. It can rule on Amanda's claim concerning her human rights being violated and award her damages. The conviction will stand in Italy and Amanda evidently will owe Patrick L. some money. I don't know how long the ECHR will take, or even if it has accepted the case.

Eight years on, Italy asks: so who were Meredith Kerchers killers?

An interesting read with regards to their alibi. I also wonder if they turned off their phones as a regular occurence or whether it was just a one-off.

I actually think this kind of thing is at about the same level as Palm reading and other parlor games .. Load of bunk!

Palm reading?? Are you saying that no one has the ability to detect deception? Based on your argument anyone could be totally helpless when dealing with a con man? As no one would know the difference between a deceptive person vs. an honest person! IMO..this is ridiculous!

I think that the idea that someone can detect lies by watching video snippets is pure bunk.
The human mind is quite susceptible to confirmation bias, IMHO. We tend to see information that agrees with things we have already decided are true, and tend not to see things that challenge our beliefs.
I suspect this "eyes for lies" person is only seeing what she wants to see.
I'm starting to wonder about The Guardian in light of some of their recent articles.
I haven't followed this case in detail, so I hope that my question has already been answered and someone can tell me where to find the answer:
When the court decided that Rudy Guede did not act alone, what were the grounds for that ruling?
What evidence points to the (legal) fact that he did not act alone?
I know that there are experts who doubt this, and I tend to agree, but the court decided differently and they must have grounds for that.
Welcome to the club! ;-)

When will journalists in #Italy demand the sealed Rudy Guede trial records? #amandaknox #MeredithKercher

The legal "fact" that Guede did not act alone was established in a trial where both sides had reasons to support that idea. The prosecution wanted to convict RS and AK for the same crime and the defense wanted others to share the guilt.
The evidence to support this was flimsy at best. Claims that Meredith's self defense training would have protected her against a larger athletic man armed with a knife. A claim that two knives were used when in fact her wounds are consistent with one knife matching the bloody outline found on her bed.
The evidence in this case is entirely consistent with Rudy Guede acting alone.
That was Rudy's fast track trial where neither Rafaelle nor Amanda had legal representation. This emerged as a "judicial fact". So now, Rudy killed Meredith aided and abetted by person or persons unknown which were not Rafaelle nor Amanda.
