Amanda Knox should surrender to Italian authorities, The EVIDENCE Is Clear Enough- SHE DID IT.

174. And that knife you claim was the murder weapon? Not.

The truth about the knife
Raffaele's kitchen knife was the prosecution's "smoking gun." The knife was reported throughout the world as "the double DNA knife." The prosecution claimed that Amanda's DNA was on the handle and Meredith's DNA was on the blade. That is pretty damning evidence. Well, it would be if it was true. But the truth is, Raffaele's kitchen knife was never used in any crime. The prosecution never found the murder weapon that was used to kill Meredith Kercher.

The knife was a common kitchen knife retrieved from the kitchen of Raffaele Sollecito. The knife was chosen from the drawer because it looked clean. No other knives were taken to be tested. Was this an extraordinary case of good luck by the detectives or was this knife not the murder weapon after all?

Italian forensic police expert Patrizia Stefanoni performed the DNA testing on the knife. When the knife was tested, Amanda's DNA was found on the handle. This was expected because Amanda often prepared meals at Raffaele's apartment. She used the knife for cooking.

A sample was taken from the knife blade and was tested for blood. The result was negative. There was no blood on the knife. This needs to be repeated,

THERE WAS NO BLOOD ON THE KNIFE.

What was left of the sample from the blade was tested for DNA.. The results were negative.There was no DNA on the blade. This is when all guidelines for testing DNA were thrown out the window. Stefanoni used a very new, unproven technique called low copy number DNA profiling.

Patrizia Stefanoni had neither the proper equipment nor the proper laboratory to perform low copy number DNA profiling, but she did it anyway. There are only a few such laboratories in the world. Her own lab was not even certified to perform ordinary DNA profiling at the time these tests were performed. Stefanoni performed tests that do not conform to any standard, anywhere.


The knife doesn't match the wounds on Meredith.

The knife doesn't match the bloody imprint left on the bed.


Mark C. Waterbury, Ph.D, summed up the lack of control testing perfectly:

"Perhaps even more important for the knife DNA, no control experiments were run to follow the handling of the item from the field through to the laboratory. That is, to see if other, random objects retrieved from the same drawer and handled in the same, unprofessional way, might also appear to have DNA on them. It would be interesting to hear the prosecution spinning a sinister implication out of DNA found on a can opener. Perhaps one can use canned peas for satanic rituals. Would Meredith's DNA be found on a spoon from the same drawer? How about Filomena's? Would the spoon then be cast as the murder weapon, whether it matches any wounds or not?

The knife in question was not the murder weapon. The knife in question had nothing to do with Meredith's murder. The prosecution never found the murder weapon.

Don't believe that? Maybe you should check out what an expert testified at trial:

“The amount of DNA was limited, and therefore complex to analyze,” Berti added. “We therefore used high-performance techniques, and tested it twice. We found two genetic profiles. We found no trace of a man. The trace didn't show a match with Meredith Kercher.”

“In the case of Amanda Knox, there was an 83 to 100 percent match with the DNA profile," Berti said, adding that the new test had been completed twice to verify its accuracy.
