There was no staged break in. The evidence strongly shows that Rudy Guede broke in for real.
Guede had a history of conducting breakins exactly like this (and of carrying a switchblade during his breakins that is similar in size to the knife that killed Kercher).
not to mention their erratic behavior the next day.
No such erratic behavior.
Knox is just lucky that a lot of the original evidence got thrown out on technicalities.
The fact that evidence doesn't exist is a bit more than a technicality.
The claims made by this article are untrue.
The test of the bra clasp showed that it had DNA from too many people to isolate a specific profile out of the chaotic blend of DNA fragments.
There is evidence that the Italian police planted Raffaele's DNA there though. When the Italian police found the bra clasp, they knew it was going to incriminate Raffaele before they even tested it. So his DNA probably was there -- but only because the Italian police planted it.
Even if Raffaele's DNA could be clearly identified on the clasp, and even if there was no reason to think that it was planted, the fact that there was DNA from so many other people is ample evidence that the DNA on the clasp was contaminated.
If DNA on the clasp is evidence of involvement in the murder, it is strange that the Italian police are not too worried about all the other profiles that are on the clasp.
But then again, they probably know that all those other extra profiles belong to the police officers who planted Raffaele's DNA.
Regarding the stain, first, it tested negative for blood, so the the article is lying when it tries to give the impression that it was a blood stain. There is no reason to think that the stain was even related to the murder. Since it tested negative for blood, it probably wasn't.
Second, there is no evidence that the DNA from the
non-blood stain was really from Kercher and Amanda. That was merely the closest partial match among all the profiles they tested. But they didn't even consider the profiles of all the roommates. It is likely that the "partial match to Kercher and Amanda" is a 100% match to the girl who lived in that room, but we'll never know so long as the Italians refuse to let the DNA profile be compared to her DNA.
Third, there is no reason to think that this
non-blood stain and the DNA were even related. They did not bother to determine whether the DNA was conterminous with the stain. It is quite possible that the DNA, whoever it belonged to, was everywhere on the floor and not in any way related to the stain.
Finally, the article is wrong about the knife. No DNA test of the knife was ever presented in court. They claimed they conducted a test, but they refused to ever produce the test results for examination during the trial.
Not to mention the fact that the blade is inconsistent with Kercher's wounds.
I don’t think we’ll ever know what happened that night
We already know what happened that night.
Guede broke in through the window. He stabbed Kercher in the neck. While the blood was gushing from her neck, he brutally raped her. Then he took her cell phones so that she could not summon aid (had an ambulance been summoned she could still have been saved), locked her in her room (the lock required a key to open from either side), and went out dancing at a nightclub while she slowly drowned in her own blood on the floor of her bedroom.
but I’m certain Knox knows more than she’d ever admit.
Well, she knows everything that I just described to you in my above paragraph.
But now you know it too.
