In the Kercher murder trial, Amanda and Sollecito were both sentenced to 26 and 25 years in prison respectively. In Italy, the Italian media portrayed Amanda in a negative light which resulted in her imprisonment. However, her lawyers appealed for a second trial, and after a long process she was released in 2011. US forensic experts found the evidence inconsistent with her involvement. On the 27th March 2015, all charges against Amanda and her boyfriend were confirmed and cleared by Italy’s highest court ^.

AMANDA KNOX PERUGIA

While in Perugia, Knox shared a four-bedroom apartment on the ground floor of a house at Via della Pergola 7 with his housemates, Kercher, an exchange student and two Italian women in their twenties. years. She and Kercher moved into the apartment on September 10 and 20, 2007 respectively, meeting for the first time.

AMANDA KNOX PATRICK LUMUMBA

Knox got a part-time job to support his studies, in a bar, Le Chic, which was owned by a Congolese, Diya Patrick Lumumba. Later, she told her roommates that she was going to quit because she wasn’t being paid. However, Lumumba denied the allegations. Kercher’s English friends saw Knox relatively little, as she preferred to mingle with Italians.

The semi-basement of the house was rented by young Italian men with whom Kercher and Knox were friends. One of the men, Giacomo, hung out at the girls’ apartment due to a shared interest in music. Returning home at 2 a.m. one night in mid-October, Knox, Kercher, Giacomo and another basement resident encountered an acquaintance at the Italians’ basketball court, Rudy Guede who attached himself to the group and asked about Knox. They invited him to the basement where Knox and then Kercher descended to join them. Kercher left at 4:30 a.m. saying she was going to bed, and Knox followed her. Guede spent the rest of the night in the basement. Knox remembers a second evening with Kercher and Giacomo in which Guede joined them and was allowed into the basement. He was, however, never invited to the women’s apartment.

Kercher went with Knox to the EuroChocolate festival, three weeks before his death. Kercher fell in love with Giacomo on October 20 after going to a nightclub with him as part of a small group that included Knox. Later that day, Guede visited the basement. Kercher and Knox went to a concert on October 25, where Knox met 23-year-old student Raffaele Sollecito and began hanging out at her apartment, a five-minute walk from Via della Pergola 7

AMANDA KNOX AND MEREDITH KERCHER

Amanda first met Kercher at the apartment they shared with two others, and they became friends.

November 1 is a public holiday, the Italians living in the house were away, so Kercher was alone in the house when she returned at 9 p.m. that evening. Just after noon the next day, Knox called Kercher’s English phone, which Kercher kept in his jeans and could always be reached, but the call was not answered. When the call went unanswered, Knox called Romanelli, one of two Italian trainee lawyers she and Kercher shared the apartment with, and in a mix of Italian and English, said she feared that something had happened to Kercher, as while going to Via Della Pergola 7 earlier in the morning, Knox had noticed an open front door, bloodstains, including a footprint in the bathroom,

AMANDA KNOX AND RAFFAELE SOLLECITO TOGETHER

Knox and Sollecito went to Via Della Pergola 7 and, with no response from Kercher, unsuccessfully attempted to force open the bedroom door, leaving it visibly damaged. Knox called his mother at 12:47 p.m. and was told to contact the police in case of an emergency.

Sollecito called the Carabinieri, passing at 12:51 p.m. and was recorded telling them that there had been a break-in with nothing taken, and the emergency was that Kercher’s door was locked, that she was not answering calls on his phone, and there were bloodstains. Telecom Police investigators arrived to inquire about an abandoned phone, which was actually Kercher’s Italian unit. Later, Romanelli arrived and took over, explaining the situation to the police who were briefed on Kercher’s English phone, which had been handed over following his ringing when Knox called him. Upon discovering that Kercher’s English phone had been found abandoned, Romanelli demanded that the officers force open the door to Kercher’s bedroom, but they did not think the circumstances justified damaging private property. A friend of Romanelli’s kicked the door open and Kercher’s body was discovered on the floor. She had been stabbed and died of exsanguination due to neck injuries.

AMANDA KNOX CASE

Knox was questioned several times, apparently over the next few days as someone who might turn out to be a witness. She told police she received a text message from Patrick Lumumba, her employer, on November 1, informing her that her evening waitressing duty had been canceled and that she remained at Sollecito’s apartment, only returning to the house she shared with Kercher on the morning of the body. was discovered. However, she did not receive legal advice, as Italian law only requires the appointment of a lawyer for a person suspected of a crime. Knox voluntarily surrendered to the police station, on the night of November 5, although what followed is controversial.

In her testimony at her trial, Knox said she spent hours maintaining her original story, spent the night with Sollecito in her apartment, and had no knowledge of the murder, but that a group of policemen didn’t want to believe her. Knox went on to say that she wasn’t just stressed and pressured, she was manipulated,” she also said she was told by the interpreter, likely she didn’t remember well because she was traumatized. So she should try to remember something else. Knox went on to say, “They said they were convinced I was protecting someone. They said, “Who is it? Who is it? “They were like, ‘Here’s the message on your phone, you wanted to meet him, you’re a stupid liar. Knox also said a female police officer “said, ‘Come on, come on, remember,’ then she slapped her.” Then ‘go, go’ and then another slap”.

Knox went on to say that she asked for a lawyer but was told it would make things worse for her and she would go to jail for 30 years. She also said she had no access to food, water or toilets. Ficarra and Lorena Zugarini, a police officer, said that during the interview Knox had access to food, water, hot drinks and the toilet. They added that Knox was asked about a lawyer but did not have one, was not hit at any time and was questioned “firmly but politely”.

Knox being under too much pressure, falsely stated that she was in the house when Kercher was killed, and that she thought the killer was Lumumba, who Knox knew had been serving customers at his bar all night . Subsequently, Knox, Sollecito and Lumumba were taken into custody and charged with the murder.

AVOCAT AMANDA KNOX

On November 11, she had her first meeting with her lawyer.

One of the investigators, Chiacchiera, who thought the arrests were premature, dropped the investigation soon after, leaving Napoleoni in charge of a major investigation for the first time in his career.

Lumumba gave him a full alibi from customers who were serving in his bar the night of the murder. Guede was brought from Germany where he had fled, after Rudy Guede’s bloodstained fingerprints were found on the bedding under Kercher’s body. Guede, Knox, and Sollecito were later charged with committing the murder together. A three-judge panel approved the charges on Nov. 30 and ordered that Knox and Sollecito be held in custody pending trial. Knox in an official interview with Mignini, said she was brainwashed by police interrogators to accuse Lumumba and implicate herself.

Relying on unattributed leaks from the prosecution, Knox was the subject of unprecedented pre-trial media coverage, including a best-selling Italian book whose author imagined or fabricated incidents supposedly be produced in the privacy of Knox.

GUEDE TRIAL

Guede did not mention Knox or Sollecito as being in the house the night of the murder, in an initial Skype conversation when he was a wanted fugitive for the murder of Kercher, for which Knox and Sollecito were being held. His account then changed and he indirectly implicated them in the murder, to which he denied any involvement. He then chose to be tried in a special expedited trial by Judge Micheli. Guede however was not charged with having had a knife nor did he testify or be questioned about his statements, which had changed from his original version. Although he was convicted of murder, the judges’ official sentencing report stated that he did not have a knife, nor stab the victim, nor stole Kercher’s property. The judge, after finding that Guede must have had an accomplice, backed Knox’s subsequent prosecution

Judges believed Guede would not have faked a burglary as that would have singled him out because of his own previous burglaries, although at the time of the murder he was only known to police to have been detained for trespassing in Florence. Although Guede said that Kercher let him into the chalet through the front door, the judges rejected the possibility that Guede entered simply by knocking on the door, as they believed that Kercher would not have opened the door to him. chalet door, although she knew he knew her boyfriend Giacomo. In his initial statement, Guede said Kercher’s confrontation with his killer began at the cottage’s front door.

SHEATH KNIFE AMANDA KNOX

The first trial of Knox and Sollecito

Knox and Sollecito pleaded not guilty in 2009, in a Corte d’Assise, to murder, sexual assault, carrying a knife, which Guede had not been charged with, simulating burglary, and theft of 300 euros, two credit cards , and two cell phones. Although Guede’s trial judgment said he did not steal anything, there were no indictments regarding Kercher’s missing keys to the front door and his bedroom door. With the same jury as her murder trial in which Knox was accused of falsely reporting her employer for the murder, there was a separate but concurrent Knox trial. His questioning by the police was deemed inappropriate and declared inadmissible for the murder trial,

Knox, then 22, was on December 5, 2009, found guilty of faking burglary, defamation, sexual assault and murder, and was sentenced to 26 years in prison while Sollecito was sentenced to 25 years. Opinion was generally not favorable to Knox, Italy, and an Italian jurist remarked, “This is the simplest and fairest criminal trial one can think of in terms of evidence.”

AMANDA KNOX FREEDOM

The appeal, or second year, trial began in November 2010 and was presided over by judges Claudio Pratillo Hellmann and Massimo Zanetti. The court-ordered review of disputed DNA evidence by independent experts found many fundamental errors in the collection and analysis of the evidence, and concluded that no probative trace of Kercher’s DNA had been found. on the alleged murder weapon, which the police had found in Sollecito. food. The examination revealed that the forensic police examination showed evidence of DNA fragments from several men on the bra clasp, which had been lost on the floor for 47 days. Knox and Sollecito were found not guilty of the murder on October 3, 2011.

Knox and Sollecito’s ultimate appeal was heard on March 27, 2015 by the Supreme Court of Cassation and it ruled that the case was without merit, thus acquitting them definitively of the murder. Her defamation conviction was upheld, but the three-year sentence was considered served when she had already served in prison. The court, rather than simply declaring that there were errors in previous court cases or that there was insufficient evidence to convict, ruled that Knox and Sollecito were innocent of involvement in the murder. . On September 7, 2015, the Court released the acquittal report, citing egregious errors, investigative amnesia and omissions of guilt, where a five-judge panel said the prosecutors who won the original murder conviction failed to prove any supporting truth. the storyline that Knox and Sollecito killed Kercher. They also claimed there had been sensational failures in the investigation and that the lower court had been guilty of “culpable omissions” by ignoring expert testimony showing contamination of evidence.
