(109,068 posts)Amanda and Raffaele.
Unlike Amanda, he had a motive -- the same rage that he'd previously acted out. His wife was so fearful that she would be killed by him that she kept the photos of her beatings at his hands in a safety deposit box. And he showed his awareness of his guilt from the very beginning, by engaging the police in a high-speed chase as he sped to the border. And there was no evidence of anyone except for OJ at the scene. No mystery murderer.
In the Kercher case, there wasn't a bit of evidence against Amanda and Raffaele that held up to scrutiny. Nothing placed Amanda at the scene of the crime, but Rudy Guede, a previously arrested burglar, left his DNA inside and on her body, and his handprint and shoe print near it.
There was another proven murderer in the Kercher case, the person, Rudy Guede, who stipulated to his guilt in her death. No one else was ever shown to be involved in the death of OJ's wife. The two cases couldn't be more different.
