Consider the case of a 20 something girl just met a young boy and fell in love, had a room mate who had a relationship with another young man living in the flat below, had a single introduction to a young man who had recently been arrested for breaking and entering, and then decided to have a four way sex orgie that led to the death of her room mate? And this was a satanic sex rite? To celebrate Halloween?
You would want to have a lot of evidence that this was the case, right? What if I told you that there was absolutely no evidence?
This is the case of Amanda Knox.
No bleach, no bloody footprint, no blood on the knife, nothing. There is no evidence that she was in the room where the murder took place. Or her boyfriend. Her only crime was being the flat mat of Meredith Kercher, who was raped and killed by Rudy Guede. His bloody handprints were found all over the room and his DNA inside the body of the victim. Open and shut case. You can read here about what happened during the interrogation process that lead the police to arrest Patrick Lumumba, Amanda’s employer, and here about the impossibility of the “staged break in” theory that the police pulled out of thin air to explain the crime scene and here my prior writings about the absence of evidence against Amanda Knox and her boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito in the murder of her flat mate Meredith Kercher. The fact is that Rudy broke into the house, Meredith came home and he raped and killed her.
And then a journalist, Andrea Vogt, writing in a Seattle newspaper of all places, writes an article that says Amanda says “I was there“. Until recently this incredibly misleading (at best) statement went unchallenged. And in a Seattle newspaper, of all places. We’re not talking about Italian or British tabloids here folks!
