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

200. Hellman's ruling was annulled because the High Court said that he should have

accepted the results of Rudy Guede's fast-track trial into evidence in Amanda and Raffaele's trial, including his statements/stipulations against them -- even though they were prevented from questioning those stipulations or Guede at their trial. This violates Italy's own Constitutional right to be able to question those who testify against you, a right that is also enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights. Using the results of a different person's fast-track trial to find other defendants guilty without letting them defend themselves was a gross miscarriage of justice, which was never anticipated years earlier when the US signed the extradition treaty with Italy. So this is far from over.

The reason Hellman reviewed only those 2 pieces of DNA evidence is because they were the only 2 that could have linked Amanda and Raffaele to the murder. Finding DNA of Amanda in her own bathroom sink or other common areas was utterly meaningless. So the Judge appointed independent experts, both faculty from the forensics Department at the University of Rome, and they said those 2 items had no probative value -- they were worthless. The DNA on the knife was worthless because with no blood and only breadcrumbs (which would have soaked up any blood that was present) it couldn't have been the murder weapon; and it was too big to have made two of the wounds. Also, for a scientific result it is necessary to be able to repeat any test, and there wasn't enough DNA to do this. Also, the lab where the testing was done lacked the equipment to carry out low-copy number testing. As far as the bra clasp is concerned, it had so much DNA contamination that the experts said they could have found almost man's alleles on it -- including the judge's.

No progressive would support any trial in which the defendants were denied the right to question their accusers, and that is exactly what happened when the high court decided that Rudy Guede's unquestioned and unanswered testimony should be used against Amanda and Raffaele. Judge Hellman is one of the few in the Italian Justice system who has been shown to be a man of honor, unwilling to twist the facts to railroad innocent people for the sake of politics.
