Crime Scene DNA

While Guede’s DNA was found everywhere at the scene, they did not find Knox and Sollecito’s there. As the defense team emphasized, selectively cleaning up ones DNA but leaving someone else’s intact is virtually impossible. DNA is not even visible to the naked human eye. Thus, it’s not logical to believe Knox or Sollecito cleaned up their DNA evidence from the crime scene.

From that very first night of interrogation, Amanda Knox claimed both her and Sollecito were at his apartment the night of the crime. She said the two of them were watching Amélie and smoking pot. Yet, the two were convicted for that second time on January 30, 2014. At that point when Knox’s sentence was bumped to 28 years, she refused to return to Italy saying, they would need to “catch [her] and pull [her] back kicking and screaming.”
