The entire case is nothing but a cheap tabloid media circus which has everything the media need, sex, murder etc.
Indeed.
They are often psychopaths and compulsive liars with an entirely messed up brain.
You cannot listen to such people and assume that what's coming out of their mouth is the truth and form an opinion based on that.
I've followed a lot of cases too, and I agree with you. Sometimes you end up with stone cold psychopaths who can lie effortlessly and project an image of normality. The "
Ken and Barbie Killers" of Canada come to mind.
Thankfully, I didn't reach my conclusion of Knox and Sollecito's innocence by just listening to them and then believing it. The investigation and prosecution were deeply, deeply flawed with some bone-headed mistakes mixed with some very blatant gaming of the evidence to get the desired result, etc.
Neither of them come off to me as being killers, at all. That of course isn't enough to decide it for me or for anyone else, nor should it be. It is the fact that there is really NO CASE against them which seals it.
* The attempt of crime-scene cleanup w/ a mop and cleaning supplies at 7:00am in the morning?? Who seriously believes that someone in their early twenties would get up at 6:00ish am because of a trivial water leak in the kitchen? Seriously....
Good thing it
didn't happen then.
There is no reason to believe the break-in was staged, and the method used was entirely consistent with Guede's previous break-ins. There is evidence in the room with the broken window which lends great credence to someone climbing in and snagging a TV cord on their leg as they did so. Stuff a couple of young people with no record would not think to stage.
Regurgitating BS the
police feed into your head when they've broken you down isn't "framing."
* The often bizarre and contradicting statement and lies. (Eg. about their whereabouts at the time of the murder where it was PROVEN that she lied initially...or how it was proven that a computer was accessed at a certain time where she claimed they slept etc...)
All easily explained by someone not having a great memory for exact details and times (PLENTY of us are this way) and it being exacerbated even further by being questioned endlessly in an extremely harsh set of circumstances, by people who go into it believing you're lying and won't budge on that belief.
Picture a 20 year old woman....someone was just brutally slaughtered/murdered IN THE ROOM RIGHT BESIDES YOURS in the house you live. What would a normal 20 year old's girl reaction be that a intruder/murderer rooms free somewhere out there, someone who broke into the house and slaughtered your room mate?
I can tell you that the normal reaction for pretty much anyone else would be to entirely freak out, end her trip instantly etc. I would freak out if I knew someone was murdered in my apartment complex and no-one knows why or who. And I am a grown up man. Now think about her reaction and most importantly ACTIONS...after something like that happened...
You don't really know what your reaction would be. People have different ways of reacting to completely crazy situations like someone close to them being murdered. Some people need some time to even process what has happened, especially if they didn't see the body themselves (Amanda did not see the body herself) - and if what happened is completely unexpected (it was) - this was something ENTIRELY outside of Knox's experience. I also think she was clearly a somewhat self-centered young woman (as many young people are) and her awareness and consideration for people around her were not stellar. I don't think Meredith was a super important person in her life, either positively or negatively. I think they had a slightly combative roommate dynamic, but pretty tame. Polite but distant most of the time, and they hadn't known each other long enough for her death to completely devastate Amanda, particularly for it to do so instantly. When what had happened really hit Amanda, I think the freakiest part for her was thinking how it could've been her instead or in addition to Meredith.
Again, self-absorbed young person with bad interpersonal skills and a bit tone deaf to things going on around her, but this is all WELL WITHIN the normal range of humanity, I've known plenty of people like this over the years, and it says absolutely nothing about them being a murderer.
most likely it was a sex game gone wrong.
The problem is, incidents like what the police and prosecution were envisioning just simply don't happen. Young people from well to do families who've only known eachother for a couple of weeks don't get together with some guy one of them doesn't know at all, and the other barely knows, and then go do a group rape-murder-sex-game stabbing Satanic ritual killing of the girl's roommate. And then out of the three of them, only one really leaves any evidence/DNA at the scene at all (the bra clasp is absolute BS, as is the kitchen knife) - and the one guy who just happens to be the only one who leaves evidence of himself at the scene, just HAPPENS to also be the only one out of the three of them who quickly flees the country, while the other two hang around for some reason? And he just HAPPENS to be the only one of the three who has a prior record of not only break-ins, but breaking in someplace with a rock through the window, but also of carrying a knife during his crimes.
The young men who lived in the downstairs flat at Via della Pergola 7, were unable to recall how Guede had met them, but did recall how, after his first visit to their home, they had found him later in the bathroom, sitting asleep on the unflushed toilet, which was full of feces.[
179] Guede allegedly committed break ins, including one of a lawyer's office through a second-story window, and another during which he burgled a flat and brandished a jackknife when confronted.[180] On 27 October, days before Kercher's murder, Guede was arrested in Milan after breaking into a nursery school, he was reportedly found by police holding an 11-inch knife.[

Oh and he's also the one who admits to being in the room with Meredith while she was bleeding to death.
But again, the kind of group crime by strangers from different backgrounds that the prosecution cooked up in their sick minds, just doesn't happen. Much like what the West Memphis 3 were accused of was pretty clearly BS on its face, but paranoia about devil worship and such things will get the imaginations of rubes fired up.
Of course, there are sometimes completely weird crimes that defy all expectations, so just saying "that doesn't happen" is naturally not sufficient. It is however, more than sufficient when combined with the lack of any evidence of Knox and Sollecito's involvement, and the fact that the scenario has no better basis than being pulled out of the prosecutor's ass.
This is NOT a far-fetched scenario.
It really, really is. Why does one of the three killers flee the country while the other two stay put and voluntarily engage with police after stashing one of the supposed murder weapons in... their kitchen drawer? C'mon.
The problem is with the system...she was questioned for four days, with who knows how much sleep. At that point, I would confess to being the King of England or the Almighty God.
Exactly.
