On the morning of November 2nd, , year-old British exchange student Meredith Kercher was found dead on the floor in the house she had been sharing with three other women in Perugia, Italy.
After hours of no food, no sleep, no bathroom breaks and more intense interrogation, Knox claims she broke down and began to question her own memory of that night, leading her to falsely accuse Lumumba, who owned an area bar called Le Chic. Bit of intrigue, big of mystery, a whodunit…What more do you want in a story?
Newspapers used innocent photos of Knox and Sollecito to make them appear more sinister In his interviews, Pisa also describes the way journalists at the time would search the Internet for any extra information they could find about Knox and Sollecito.
Both photos, obviously placed out of context, would appear side by side in newspapers, making them look like a couple of young kids who found murder to be humorous. He smiles and apologetically says that a good journalist never reveals a source.
Totally irrational. Guede was later convicted of murder and sexual assault and sentenced to 30 years in prison. While it looks bad, it actually doesn't prove her involvement in the crime either way. She kissed and hugged her new boyfriend while they waited for the police to investigate the crime at her house. They were kept out of the house while the police were in there, and it was November. Plus, her boyfriend was one of the few people in Italy she actually knew. She did a cartwheel or a split while in police custody.
She had been questioned for days in a foreign language and was tired from lack of sleep. Also, doing a cartwheel does not make you a killer. Her boyfriend's DNA was found on the bra clasp of Kercher. The bra clasp evidence was mishandled by police — it lay on the floor of the crime scene for six weeks before blood evidence was found on it.
Knox's DNA, fingerprints or footprints were not found anywhere else in the crime scene even though Kercher's bedroom was covered in blood.
Knox tells lies. Well, she apparently gave varying accounts to the police of what she did before and after the time of the killing. But even if you accept this anti-Knox site's list of Knox's "lies ," none of those lies actually prove she killed someone.
They are all — with the exception of the false statements about her boss — the kind of routine slip-ups anyone would make under intense questioning from police. If you can't remember exactly what you did yesterday, minute from minute, and have your account match with your phone records then you'd be the same kind of "liar. None of the anti-Knox sites cut Knox any slack for the obvious: She was She came from a sheltered American background.
She was naive. She knew few people in Italy. She was being interrogated for a murder in Italian, a language she barely spoke. And she was young, arrogant and dumb. Her entire life until that night had added up to playing soccer in high school, trying to learn Italian on a study abroad program, and playing acoustic guitar badly. Yet for the Knox Truthers, her year abroad in Italy was suddenly the opportunity she was looking for to become a gang sex killer who was amazing at cleaning up crime scenes.
After the long judicial ordeal, which involved two appeal court trials and two Supreme Court decisions , Knox and Sollecito were finally acquitted of murder in Prosecutors had accused Knox and Sollecito of killing Kercher with the help of Guede, a young man from the Ivory Coast who had grown up in Perugia. Guede, whose DNA was the only one found at the murder scene, was convicted of Kercher's murder in a separate trial in He was sentenced to 16 years in prison after a fast-track process resulted in less jail time.
Guede received a partial release in in order to attend school and has been working at a library in central Italy and as a volunteer for a Catholic charity. His sentence was set to end in Knox, now 33 and an advocate for criminal justice reform, said the "burden" of Guede's crime falls on her.
