t go beyond a conclusion of “probable identity” to one of certainty (ff. 260/1). 9.4.3. It can easily be observed that the conclusion that there was a lack of an evidentiary framework consistent and sufficient to support the prosecution’s hypothesis regarding the more serious case of murder certainly reverberates on the residual, secondary accusations, listed here, d) theft of mobile phones and e) simulation of a crime. 10. The intrinsic contradictory nature of the evidence, emerging from the text of the appealed verdict, in essence undermines the connective tissue of the same, leading to its annulment. In fact, in the presence of a scenario marked by many contradictions, the referral judge should not have come to a verdict of guilt, but - as previously Marasca-Bruno Motivations Report v1.2 24 September 2015
http://www.amandaknoxcase.com/ http://www.injusticeanywhere.org/ Page 54 observed – should have reached a verdict of not guilty, given Article 530, section 2, Italian Code of Criminal Procedure. At this point only one matter remains to be resolved, regarding the type of annulment - i.e., whether it should be decided with or without a new trial - which depends, obviously, on the objective possibility of further investigation which could unravel the perplexing aspects, and offer answers of certainty, perhaps through new technical investigations. The answer is certainly negative. In fact the biological traces on items of investigative interest are of minuscule magnitude, and as such, incompatible with amplification and, thus, destined not to give reliable, certain answers, whether in terms of identity or in terms of compatibility. The computers of Amanda Knox and Kercher, which might have been useful to the investigation, were, incredibly, burned by the careless actions of the investigators, causing a short circuit due probably to an erroneous power supply; and they cannot give any more information, given that the damage is irreversible. The panorama of the declared evidence is complete, given the accuracy and completeness of the evidentiary trial hearing, which occurred in both appeal trials. Guede, a certain co-participant in the murder, has always refused to collaborate and, for reasons already given, cannot be forced to take the stand. The technical assessments requested by the defence cannot be guaranteed to clarify matters, not only due to the time that has passed, but also because they relate to aspects that are difficult to verify (such as the possibility of selective cleaning) or of obvious irrelevancy (IT examination of Sollecito’s computer), given the possibility for him, no matter how long the interaction was (even if the interaction was definitely his), to reach Kercher’s house, or they are obviously superfluous, given the thoroughness of the impeccable technical investigations performed (e.g. the inspection of the body and subsequent forensic pathology tests). Given the above-mentioned considerations, it is evident that a new trial would be useless, thus the verdict of annulment without a new trial, in accordance with Article 620 letter I) of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure, thus applying a sentence of not guilty which would also have been reached by any new referral judge, in accordance with the principles of law set out in this judgment. The annulment of Knox’s conviction with regards to crime A), excludes the aggravating circumstance of criminal intent as per Article, 61 n. 2 of the Italian Penal Code. The exclusion of this part means the sentence must be redetermined, which is quantified to the same degree as fixed by the Perugia Court of Appeal, the Marasca-Bruno Motivations Report v1.2 24 September 2015

It is hardly necessary to add that the result of the judgment precludes consideration of any other defence plea, deduction or request as absorbed or implicitly rejected, while any other line of argument, among those not examined, are considered inadmissible as, clearly, it would enter into the merits of the judgment. 11. Given the above, it can only be decided [to proceed] as per the operative part of this judgment. FOR THESE REASONS Pursuant to Article 620 letter A) Italian Code of Criminal Procedure; annuls the ruling under appeal with respect to the crime under charge B) of the rubric because the crime is extinct due to statute of limitations; pursuant to Articles 620 letter L) and 530, section 2 Italian Code of Criminal Procedure; excluding the aggravating circumstance under Italian under Article 61 n. 2 Penal Code, in relation to the crime of calumny, annuls the ruling under appeal without referral with respect to the crimes under charges A), D) and E) of the rubric because the appellants did not commit the act. Recalculates the sentence imposed upon appellant Amanda Maria Knox for the crime of calumny in three years of confinement.
