It isn't true that the "strongest sample" came from Raffaele. What is true is that his DNA is the only male sample, other than Meredith's boyfriend, that they tried to match it with. But after they pulled his out there were still a lot of unaccounted-for alleles, that could have come from almost anyone.
If you're trying to be informed, you should stop reading themurderofmeredithkercher, or TrueJustice, or perugiamurderfiles. All those are hate sites that have been proven to contain many lies. You're not doing yourself a favor by not even attempting to distinguish between hate-sites and sites with collections of accurate information. (The hate sites do have some collections of primary case documents. Those are fine. But their own analysis is what is deeply flawed. You can read the primary case documents somewhere else, if they suck you into reading their lies.)
Why should you trust the sites set up by Amanda's supporters? You shouldn't. Not automatically. You should consider the credentials of the people who set up the sites and have contributed articles.Many of them are scientists, or former investigators, who got involved when they saw how science was being misused in this case. And they've been donating their time to the cause because they were trying to help right a gross injustice.
And now even the Italian justice system has agreed with them -- in the most categorical terms possible. Amanda and Raffaele were not involved in the murder of Meredith Kercher. Period.
