Meredith Kercher Murder Case Update

April 23, 2008

A number of new questions have recently been raised in connection with the sensational Italian police investigation of the Meredith Kercher murder case, some of which have raised doubts in official circles about what really happened the night Meredith died. Although American honors student Amanda Knox, along with her Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, and Ivory Coast national Rudy Guede were arrested as suspects for Meredith's murder last autumn and have been languishing in jail ever since, prosecutors in the case haven't leveled formal charges against any of them - yet. The latest information to come out of the medieval Italian city of Perugia, where the murder occurred, suggests that the prosecution's case may have been seriously compromised by careless police work.

Renato Biondo provided independent confirmation that the forensic investigation was carried out correctly, following international protocol, and that the findings are accurate and reliable.

There are two excellent pro-evidence, pro-victim websites about the Meredith Kercher case.

ALL the judges who have been involved in the case: Judge Claudia Matteini, the judges at the Italian Supreme Court, judge Massimo Riccarelli, and judge Paolo Micheli all thought there were serious indications of Amanda Knox's and Raffaele Sollecito’s guilt and refused to grant them bail on the grounds that they are mentally unstable, dangerous and could reoffend.

The case against her and Raffaele Sollecito is formidable.

There are 13 pieces of forensic evidence that link Amanda and Raffaele to the crime, including Amanda's DNA on the handle of the knife found at Raffaele's apartment and Meredith's DNA on the blade, and Amanda's bare footprints set in Meredith's blood and Raffaele's DNA on Meredith's bloodied and cut bra.

Amanda and Raffaele knew precise details about Meredith's body which they could only have known if they had been present when Meredith was murdered. Amanda herself admitted she was present when Meredith was murdered in her handwritten note to the police on 6 November.

Amanda and Raffaele not only gave conflicting witness statements, but also gave completely different accounts of where they were, who they were with and what they were doing on the night of the murder.

In the light of the judges decisions so far and the forensic evidence which was independently confirmed as accurate and reliable, it looks extremely unlikely that Amanda and Raffaele will be found not guilty.
