In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: Italy's Highest Court Overturns Amanda Knox Murder Conviction [View all]cpwm17
(3,829 posts)56. No real evidence or plausible motive for Amanda Knox's guilt
There is loads of evidence for the actual killer.
Meredith Kercher probably walked in on Rudy Guede, who had broken into her cottage. It was Rudy Guede's MO to throw rocks into windows, and if no one responds, Rudy Guede would enter through the broken window. At least one time shortly before he murdered Meredith Kercher, Rudy Guede had stayed in the building. That indicates he could potentially be very dangerous:
Rudy Guede had broken Meredith Kercher's cottage window, obviously to break into the cottage. He then raped and murdered Meredith Kercher. He left his DNA at the scene.
There is no evidence that Amanda Knox was present. None of her clothes had any blood stains, despite the bloody mess. There is no plausible reason for Amanda Knox to help Rudy Guede murder her roommate.
