(110,346 posts)She did not sign that statement on the first day of questioning. This is an unimpeachable fact.
Her first day of questioning was the day of the murder. She signed the first statement several days later, at 1:45 in the morning, with no attorney present. Maybe you could stand up to an interrogation at that hour of the night, but she couldn't.
I won't direct you to a pro-Amanda site, as you tried to direct me to a hate-site. You can get these facts from any of the reporters who covered the case. But I remembered Nina Burleigh's book, the Fatal Gift of Beauty, and I found it on Google. I couldn't view all the pertinent pages, but enough to prove my point. And I also found a reference to the interrogations in Wikipedia -- the real Wikipedia, not the fake Wiki you linked to.
p. 176
At 5:30 a.m. on November 3. . . police sent Amanda and Raffaele home, 15 hours after theyd first arrived at the questura.
p. 179 At 11 a.m. Saturday, the day after the murder was discovered, Rudy was traveling north by train to Milan, and Amanda and Raffaele were at the questura again.
p. 180 That afternoon, back at the police station, Amanda was becoming a person of interest, and she didnt even know it. She talked to the police again starting at 2:45 pm.
p. 181 The police sent them home early Saturday evening.
(I wasnt able to view page 182 on my computer.)
p. 183 By then (Sunday a.m.) she had been spending 5 to 12 hours at a time in the police station.
(I wasnt able to view page 185, 189, or 192)
p. 196: At 1:45 am, Amanda signed the following statement. . . .
p. 197: At 5:45 am, after Amanda signed a second statement, she apparently stopped crying and hitting her head.

Prosecutor Mignini was assigned to the case, and spoke to Knox at the scene. According to author John Follain, Mignini thought she was concealing something. Because anyone effecting an entry through the broken window seemed unlikely, police almost immediately discounted the possibility of a burglar being the killer and Knox became the prime suspect, although she was not told this.[30][31][32][33] Over the next four days she was repeatedly interviewed and during the interrogation and statements of 56 November, the conduct of which is a matter of dispute, Knox incriminated herself and Lumumba.
