The case for their involvement wasn’t rooted in evidence or anything like evidence, so that they are obviously innocent was either ignored when this started to become clear, or the appearance of possible guilt was fabricated and known from the start that it was false.
The case for their involvement wasn’t rooted in evidence or anything like evidence, so that they are obviously innocent was either ignored when this started to become clear, or the appearance of possible guilt was fabricated and known from the start that it was false.
My impression tended towards the first of those two atrocities.
That is what the grammar of the sentence suggests, but how can the same evidence (the obviousness of the truth) indicate both that it was intentionally ignored and that it was fabricated. For that matter “the truth was fabricated” sounds like a category error to me. Truths aren’t the sort of thing that can be fabricated. So I think Anna might have meant that the evidence against Knox was fabricated (or maybe the evidence against Guede).
I concluded that she just forgot to proofread and took the meaning as “actively ignored the truth or fabricated falsehoods”. (And that question is a good one.)
I’m confused. What was fabricated at worst?
The entire case against Amanda and Raffaele.

The ‘truth’ (I think.)

The case itself, that Amanda and Raffaele had any rightful place being tried. Does that help?
Yeah I got it. The above went up before your clarification.
