What is this blog about?

With the guilty verdict in the Knox/Sollecito trial in, much is being written on both sides of the Atlantic about the guilt or innocence of these two defendants.

I earnestly believe that Knox and Sollecito are completely innocent in the murder of Meredith Kercher. Not because I'm an American, or that Amanda Knox is pretty, but because the FACTS in the case indicate that this is so.

This Blog exists primarily for me, as a place to catalog in a single place my thoughts on this story, rather than as a forum for its discussion. There are already many places on the net where you can do just that if you desire. However, if you have come across my ramblings here, feel free to post.

Posts that contain name calling, but add no additional facts or relative information (for or against), will simply be deleted.

The Knife and The Bra Clasp

An excellent scientific analysis of the knife and bra clasp can be found here.

The knife bothers me a lot. Logically, if the knife was cleaned so well that even luminal fails to finds traces of blood, how the hell was skin DNA left behind?

The fact that the bra clasp was not recovered for 47 days, and contains DNA from a variety of unknown donors, seems to limit its probative value in this case.

DNA can tell you many things, but it can't tell you HOW it got there, or WHEN it got there. The small amount of DNA on the blade could have gotten there at anytime either before or after the murder, which makes it's probative value non-existent. How this counts as "evidence" is beyond me.
