Hour long live interview with Raffaele on Italian TV: Domenica Live

A student through it all: Amanda Knox returns to UW to finish her final degree requirements Excellent article from The Daily of the University of Washington

I see. So there is a certain circularity. Guede's verdict that there were multiple attackers is used as evidence in a separate case that finds that additional "attackers" guilty. At the same time that evidence from Guede's case cannot be contested because it happened in another trial and is...

I see. So taking into account Guede's definitive verdict doesn't mean there must have been many attackers. Could you explain what does it mean, then? If it doesn't impose restrictions about the many vs one attacker then what exactly was the error of Hellmann's reasoning regarding Guede's verdict?

You haven't read the defence closing arguments, have you? They are arguing that Guede acted alone. Thanks for clarifying your understanding of SC verdict. So the defendants were required to point out some other Guede's accomplices. To me it looks very much that such conviction will not stand...

Well, the majority of people on this forum disagree, me included. What was the argumentation that you omitted in your quote? What exactly Hellmann did wrong?

That's simply not true. There is whole chapter that discusses and takes into account Guede's ruling in Hellmann's motivation: http://hellmannreport.wordpress.com/contents/reasons-for-the-decision/judgement-concerning-rudy-guede/

A wonderful interview with Amanda in the Guardian: Who is Amanda Knox? The included exclusive video interview with Amanda in her Seattle home is well worth watching, too.

In the aftermath of Nencini's verdict Amanda replies to the message of hate from Perugians: La Nazione - Nel giorno di San Valentino Amanda Knox sul suo blog: "Perugia ti voglio bene" Original source, Amanda's webpage <modsnip>

Sorry, you're right. The article you linked is much more informative than SMK's link. Close friends, the arrested talking left and right about what she did. There is no group scenario here and the evidence seems to be much more concrete than Perugian psychological obsevations.

Some quotes from the excellent article in Salon:

So, basically nothing is known. I'd be very cautious about even drawing inferences as to the guilt of the arrested. I don't think this can be used the way SMK wishes to.

She concentrates on the murder itself, not the failed investigation and interrogation leading to false confession. The previous article I linked by professor Drizin focuses on the mechanism of wrongful conviction more. I'd love to see one, but neither the prosecution nor various online...

More intelligent insight sparked by Nencini's verdict on Salon: Amanda Knox, what really happened: Writing toward the actual story by Katie Crouch. Author provides a rational and fact based reconstruction of the events of the terrible night.

Recently freed David Camm's case was quite similar in this aspect, too. More from the article:
