- Are you that stupid. There is absolutely no DNA evidence that she was even there. Are you kidding me right now??? Look at the evidence.

- Look at her for goodness sakes. She's guilty as hell.

- The CBS article neglected to mention four details:
1. Another man- Rudy Guede, was convicted of Kircher's murder after his DNA and fingerprints were found on Kircher's corpse. Guede has refused to testify at Knox's trial.
2. The only piece of physical evidence against Amanda Knox was her fingerprints on a kitchen knife found in her boyfriend's kitchen (no surprise there) which the prosecution claims had Kircher's DNA on it. However, several experts have examined the evidence and concluded that the DNA sample was sufficiently fragmented that- like a partial fingerprint- it could be used to match up large numbers of people. Unlike most DNA evidence, it does not positively identify Kircher.
3. Prosecutor Giuliani Magnini is currently facing charges from a Flourentine judge for having used coercive interrogations to intimidate multiple innocent people.

- I never heard of this story until today. Just goes to show that you can pay attention only to news that make a difference in your life. When there is no big news, the media will make big news.

- The DNA evidence is proving to be as well-handled and as incriminating as DNA evidence ever is at such trials.
The last two hearings have very publicly exposed several of the key myths which have been aggressively propagated over the Internet and through other media for many months.
Let?s first speak about the double knife DNA. It has now become pretty obvious that:
* It doesn?t match half of Italy as falsely claimed
* It doesn?t have a 20% chance of being Meredith?s as falsely claimed
* Stefanoni never declared herself that the DNA ?was unreliable? as falsely claimed
* The DNA has not been amplified ?500 times? as falsely claimed
Patrizia Stefanoni has not stated that Meredith?s DNA was extracted 500 times from the knife sample, as some people with what seemed a google-level knowledge of molecular biology were claiming to muddy the waters.
The DNA was actually extracted 50 times from Meredith?s specimens and was used to compare it to other biological traces, including the one found on the knife. And it provided the forensic team with good samples to be compared to the traces found on the knife.
Two genetic profiles are identical and therefore belong to the same individual if a) they are in the same position, and b) they have identical shape and dimension. In this case, each peak produced in the original samples exactly corresponds to the peaks yielded by the knife sample, position, shape and dimension? Say so long to the ?matching half of Italy? myth!
Furthermore, Stefanoni excluded any possibility of contamination in the lab, stating that it had never once occurred in her lab for at least the last seven years, and every precaution was taken in order to exclude possibility of contamination so that different traces are not mixed.
Contamination during the collection phase was also excluded: the forensic team that found the knife was a different one from those who searched the cottage, so how could Meredith?s DNA possibly have been ?transferred to the knife??
Furthermore, the knife was put in a shoe box after it was bagged, and it stayed there until it reached the lab. And once again? DNA doesn?t fly, it doesn?t creep, and it sure doesn't penetrate a plastic bag! - Reply to this comment

- Where do you get your info at about the evidence? Please Please show me so that I may prove my sources wrong. What evidence is there. There is No DNA, she has an alibi. The only reason why she is getting charged is because she is an American and she was not throwing herself on the gorund sobbing because of the murder. Once again, you follow it close? From where...Please tell me you freakin moron!!!

- I believe they've already convicted the guilty party.
