Three of them were convicted. Amanda and her Italian boyfriend and a third person. (Guede) Guede was tried separately and first. His DNA is on the victim and IN her, due to a sexual assault. His DNA, to be blunt, is all over the crime scene. Yet the DNA of Knox and her BF is not all over. It's barely anywhere.
That's what I keep coming back to. Yes, you can clean up a crime scene and try to get rid of your DNA. But you can't selectively clean it up and get rid of the DNA of only two out of three of the murderers, while still leaving the DNA of the third murderer all over the place. You just can't. Common sense says there's a very good reason only one of those three has their DNA everywhere, while the other two don't. Only ONE was the killer.
As far as Knox's "confessions", I have little faith in confessions gained under such conditions, be they in Italy or the US. Question someone nonstop for days, with little sleep, let alone in a foreign language and we're supposed to believe in what they say? Puh-leeze.....Many people will say whatever you want after a decent stretch of that.
Once they got her to give them some story under duress and she retracted it, then they could paint her as "changing her story, covering her tracks." No matter what, she looked bad. And lord knows that goofy girl did not help herself by failing to see how serious the situation was and how much trouble she was in from the get-go.
What I learned from it was that if my child is ever studying abroad and is even half this close to a crime, I will get them on a plane home immediately. Amanda Knox is rotting in prison based on the most laughable, pathetic, miniscule "evidence" imaginable.
