1) Actually, Kercher’s rent money was missing and Guede’s DNA was found in her purse. After her murder he went clubbing and then hopped a train Milan. Where did he get the money to do that? To state there was no robbery doesn’t jibe with the evidence. Knox had $2000 in her bank account, and Sollecito’s parents are well off. Guede was a known drifter known for his money problems.
2) No, evidence was NOT that window was broke from the inside. The glass was inside the room, and a rock was found. The dispute arises because some glass was below clothing in Filomena’s room. However, Filomena was allowed into her room to retrieve personal effects, so the exact placement of clothing is suspect. Furthermore, the building itself is fairly isolated and traffic along the road is minimal.
3) There is a truss next to the window making access relatively easy. An investigator for the defense, dressed in a suite and tie easily scaled it. Rude Guede was an accomplished athlete and basketball player.
4) That’s an evaluation of the judge who accepted the prosecutor’s contention of the muti person scenario. Scientific testimony at trial contradicts this assertion. In either case, this is evidence open to interpretation. Even if that were true, there is still no evidence that Knox or Sollecito were involved in moving the body! Putting them in the room a SECOND time hours later further creates a logic problem because no evidence of their presence is in the room! What are they, ghosts?? Even if you prove there was more then one assailant, you still have to prove those additional assailants were Knox and Sollecito… which you can’t You must UNLEARN what you have learned my friend. ;)
5) No such evidence was presented at trial, and even if it was so, its completely meaningless. How do you get from “a mop and bucket” to “a three way sex crime”? You must have something stronger in addition to the observation for it to have probative value of a crime! If they cleaned the crime scene how did they leave behind Guede’s fingerprints and DNA? Either is all there, or its all gone. You can’t selectively clean up microscopic evidence… much less with a mop and bucket. Its laughable.
As komponisto stated, it is difficult to be cold in your rational evaluation. You are assigning the mop and bucket a value almost equal to DNA inside the victim when in real comparison they are light years apart in real value.
Here’s a thought exercise, that for me clears the confusion in this case. Pretend that you don’t already know who the suspects are in this case, and are looking at the evidence to try and find one for the first time. You have no preconceived notion as to who killed Kercher.
Your evidence comes in two weeks after the killing and you have a bloody hand print on a pillow, fingerprints elsewhere in the room, saliva DNA outside the victim and skin or saliva DNA inside the victim as well. All of this is of one person, Rudy Guede.
You look up Rudy Guede and you find that in the weeks prior to the murder he was involved in three separate break-ins involving a knife, but was not arrested. When you try to locate him, you find he has fled the country to Germany.
At this point, do Knox and Sollecito even come into this story as anything other than footnotes? There are no interrogations, no cartwheels, no rumors of bleach purchases, no “foxy knoxy”, no stories of sex on a train, none of it. The knife in Sollecito’s flat, with a minuscule amount of DNA on the blade that doesn’t identify Kercher but can’t exclude it never enters the scene. Neither does the bra clasp found 47 days later.
Blood drops of the victim found in a co-habituated bathroom with mixed DNA of roommates doesn’t seem all that sinister.
For me, this clears up who the guilty party in this case quite nicely, and takes my “feelings” out of the equation.
