Despite all the suspicion, the investigators didn’t recover admissible DNA from Knox or Sollecito at the crime scene. However, there was a witness that put the couple at the crime scene. This witness claimed he saw them out in a piazza that very night. Meanwhile, the couple claimed they were at Sollecito’s watching a film. It’s important to note that this witness was a homeless heroin addict. Thus, many did not see him as a credible source.

Another major issue was the lack of motive for Amanda Knox. Criminal prosecutor Giuliano Mignini came up with a wild story. He claimed both Knox and Sollecito took part in a four-way sex game and killed Meredith in the end. In addition, Mignini called Knox a “she-devil,” even in court, saying she submitted herself to “lust, narcotic substances, and the consumption of alchol.” He claimed this led her to kill Meredith Kercher in that crazed state with both Sollecito and Guede. Since people saw her kissing and hugging Sollecito outside the house just when they found the body, many went along with the theory.
