Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito lose Meredith Kercher murder appeal

86. It wasn't a travesty because it was an Italian court.

It was a travesty because this Italian court discounted all the scientific evidence and even common sense in order to convict Amanda and Raffaele.

It was a travesty because the prosecutor was motivated partly by his own misogyny -- this all began as a witch hunt of a pretty girl -- and partly as a distraction from his own legal troubles (he was under indictment for tampering with evidence in other trials at the same time he was prosecuting this case.)

It was a travesty because the appeals court, after considering scientific evidence from INDEPENDENT court-appointed witnesses, decided there was no evidence linking Amanda and Raffaele to the crime.

It was a travesty because the new motive in the current trial was absolute nonsense: that the victim got upset because Rudy Guede (the burglar whose DNA was found inside and on her body) had left unflushed poop in a toilet -- and so Amanda, who had met Rudy once, and Raffaele, who had never met him, rose up and helped Rudy kill her.
