Logic Trumps Innuendo

As I surf the net, reading a variety of comments in regards to this case there is much speculation about evidence in this case. Much of it was not used at trial, but somehow made it into the public consciousness through ongoing press leaks during the investigation, such as:

"Knox was seen with a mop and bucket the morning of the murder." What does that mean exactly? The innuendo would be that she cleaned the crime scene, but see the logic problems posed by that below.

"Knox purchased bleach the morning of the murder, there are receipts." No receipts were presented at trial, but even if there were what how is that probative?

"The found the murder weapon in Sollecito's flat." They found his knife, in his flat, in his drawer. Logic alone makes it unlikely that this is the murder weapon, and the prosecution's own analysis reinforces this. See logic question below as to why.

"Meredith's bra had Sollecito's DNA on it." Left on the floor of Knox's flat for 47 days after the murder, a variety of DNA including Sollecito's was found on the seperated clasp, not the bra itself.

... and on and on. I offer no explanation in this article for these, but simply pose some logic questions that address conflicting and incompatible ideas with the facts. This approach certainly reveals some troubling problems with the case against Knox and Sollecito. The unspoken question at the end of each of these is simply, "If this is so, how is that possible?"

Logic problem 1: They had the temerity to properly dispose of their bloody clothes and shoes, but then took the murder weapon home, cleaned it thoroughly, and put it back in the drawer?

Logic Problem 2: They cleaned the knife so well that luminal had no reaction, no blood was found on the knife, but the low copy skin DNA of the victim somehow remained on the blade???

Logic Problem 3: With a mop and bucket they somehow managed to selectively clean the murder scene clean of their DNA and fingerprints but leave behind Rudy Guede's??

Logic Problem 4: The bra clasp collected 47 days after the murder had Sollecito's DNA on it, but the bra itself did not???

Logic Problem 5: Meredith Kercher's bedroom door was locked from the inside and had to be broken down to gain entry. How did Knox get in there and remove all of her and Sollecito's fingerprints and DNA and leave behind Rudy Guede's?

  3. "They found his knife, in his flat, in his drawer"

    - They found his knife hidden in a shoebox in his apartment.

    - The victim's DNA was on the knife, despite the fact she had never been to his apartment.

    - When questioned about it, Sollecito lied about Meredith visiting his apartment and pricking her finger on the knife when he (Sollecito) was cooking.

    Just the facts? You MUST be joking!

  4. - no, not true. It was in a drawer, along with many onthers.

    - It was skin low copy DNA, the most easily transportable DNA. You have DNA in your house right now of people who have never been there. It was in in such a small amount that a retest wasn't possible. Further, an exact match was not produced... Kercher simply wasn't excluded.

    - The police LIED and said they had found blood on the knife. Faced with this, simply tried to find a how that could be possible. No blood was found on the knife.

    Yes the facts. Please stop quoting from tabloids.

  5. Let me further as, the lab tech that pull the DNA from the blade of the knife pulled low copy DNA from the blade after many replications of the degraded strand. Here's the report http://vvoice.vo.llnwd.net/e16/4193542.0.pdf
