Amanda Knox Trial Result

Yesterday Amanda Knox was found guilty of the murder of Meredith Kercher.

Does anyone actually believe the story put forward by the prosecution, namely that it was a sex game between Amanda, her boyfriend, an immigrant and Meredith gone wrong? Where did the prosecution suppose Amanda, her boyfriend and the petty criminal immigrant meet originally? Why did these three hook up? What do they have in common? The story just isn't believable.

Have you looked at all three of the accused? Do you really believe they would collaborate together in a sex game?

It doesn't make sense. Good looking women don't use violence to get sex.

The prosecution's case actually was just based on:
a) DNA evidence on the knife
b) Amanda's behavior after the murder i.e. performing cartwheels in the police station

Duh! Someone is in a stressful situation and they behave oddly. Well, what exactly is normal behavior in circumstances like this? And even if the behavior is odd, this doesn't make someone a murderer. The prosecution must have been really scratching around to bring this up! And the jury bought it!

If DNA is amplified during the process of detection (by PCR) then as little as one molecule of DNA can be detected. Contamination is a problem.

So my question is, how much of Amanda's DNA was originally on the knife? The court is putting Amanda away for 26 years of her life -it is effectively ending her life, so this is a valid question. How did the police know which knife to take to test?

Was it 1 molecule? Was it 100 molecules?

Has anyone done statistics and maths on this? How much DNA was originally on the knife? Was it more than can be explained by contamination during the forensics process? Was the DNA more than can be expected to be there just by being in the same house as Amanda? Was the DNA just from a bit of dust floating around?

Also if Amanda was in the same house as the knife, then having her DNA on the knife isn't surprising. It proves nothing. If someone wiped the knife with her clothes, that would be enough to get her DNA on it.

My DNA is all over my clothes, computer keyboard and kitchen utensils. But it proves nothing about what I do.

It is unbelievable a conviction has been made with no real evidence. Are people just getting stupider?
