Is Amanda Knox Guilty? Page #2

---

bloody body of Meredith Kercher.

Prosecutor Giuliano Mignini

arrives just after 2pm.

He finds Meredith

is partially naked,

her bra's been cut off and her

t-shirt rolled up above her breasts.

It looks like a sexual assault.

TRANSLATED:
When you

start an investigation,

you don't know what happened,

you have to slowly

reconstruct the situation.

Forensics teams work inside

and outside the cottage.

Right away, they think

it's a staged break-in -

glass shards are on top rather than

underneath the scattered clothes.

The large rock seems too heavy

to be thrown from the ground

to the first floor window

and too big to go through the

small crack between the shutters.

A handbag, jewellery case,

camera and laptop computer

are lying in full view.

There's a line of bloody shoe prints

from Meredith's room

to the front door.

And in the bathroom, a bloody

bare footprint is on the bathmat.

Over four days, investigators

collect more than 400 items

from the apartment, photographing

and filming their work.

When police bag

Meredith's bra for evidence,

they notice something is missing.

Somehow, the investigators

leave without the clasp -

a critical error that will

haunt the prosecution case.

The autopsy shows

Meredith has been strangled

and stabbed on

two sides of the neck,

possibly with

two different knives.

The second fatal stab

severed her thyroid artery.

There are 40 wounds -

too many, police believe,

for one assailant

to have inflicted alone.

The prosecution's

view of what happened,

later disputed by the defence,

is shown in this reconstruction.

Meredith was trained in karate,

and must have encountered

overwhelming force.

TRANSLATED:
One person couldn't,

all at the same time,

hold Meredith still

and hold back her hands -

because there are

very few defensive wounds -

inflict those wounds

with a smaller knife

and then give her the fatal blow

with the larger knife.

It is impossible.

Not even Superman could do it.

The behaviour of Amanda Knox and

her boyfriend attracts attention.

Meredith's friends tell police

that, far from appearing distraught,

Amanda and Raffaele have

been seen laughing and joking.

A vigil is held for Meredith, but

Amanda and Raffaele don't attend -

they go for dinner

at a friend's instead.

And the prosecutor recalls why he

was concerned by Amanda's behaviour.

TRANSLATED:
When the girls

were brought to see the knives

that were in the kitchen,

the reaction of Amanda...

It was a reaction... She put her

hands on her ears, as if she were

trying to block out a terrible sound

she was hearing in her ears.

It was like she was having

a nervous breakdown.
