Amanda Knox & Raffaele Sollecito Are Innocent

Rik Merchant
Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito are innocent. Believe it or disbelieve it. Or reserve judgment. Unadulterated facts exist that clearly illuminate the innocence of the young American woman and her former Italian boyfriend to those who have open minds, common sense, and rational thought. This statement is not intended to offend anyone who believes the pair is guilty, especially when for two years, the news media has issued lies and false evidence fed to them by Chief Prosecutor Giuliano Mignini and his minions. On top of that, the news media have either intentionally or unwittingly propagated the falsities that have not only convicted Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito as murderers of British student Meredith Kercher in November 2007, but- in the eyes of some, such as 'the guilters'-have also branded guilt upon the pair for life. So, how can anyone sort out the truth unless he looks for it with an open mind.

This article contains sources that will affirm the innocence of Amanda and Raffaele for those who already believe. For those who reserve judgment, the unadulterated information will likely lead to believing in the innocence of the two students. For those who not only doubt their innocence but also vehemently assert the pair is guilty, a change of mind and heart could result.

Science Spheres belongs to Mark C. Waterbury, Ph.D. It has a tri-focus. One focus is the scientific aspect to the Perugia Italy murder case of Meredith Kercher and to the two persons convicted in December 2009 of Meredith's murder- Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito. Science Spheres examines the forensic evidence collected by the Polizia Scientifica. With explanations, photos, and videos, the site shows how the evidence was contaminated and often grossly distorted. And, for example, in the case of the knife purported to be the murder weapon, how evidence was simply manufactured. All information on Science Spheres is based on scientific facts and reliable analysis.

The second focus of Science Spheres is twofold- the justice system and the media aspects to the treatment of Amanda and Raffaele. For example, the 'Crucible of Perugia' deals with the witch trial aspect to the Perugia trial of Amanda and Raffaele, prosecuted by Giuliano Mignini who concocted within days of the murder a gruesome fairy tale that the news media have regurgitated long after it was deflated for no reason other than its news-making notoriety.

A third focus of Science Spheres comprises the wrongful convictions of Amanda and Raffaele. The reasons for these wrongful convictions parallel the theme of Shirley Jackson's 1948 short story 'The Lottery', on which Dr. Waterbury is basing his upcoming article 'The Media Lottery'.

Injustice in Perugia details the wrongful conviction of Amanda Knox and Rafaelle Sollecito. It lucidly covers every aspect of the murder case against the ill-starred pair. Among the many aspects are, as follows: Case Summary; Prosecution's Case (with an analysis); Strong Case For Appeal; Meredith Kercher; Amanda Knox; Raffaele Sollecito; Rudy Guede; Prosecutor Mignini; The Interrogation (Amanda's); The Knife; The Bra Clasp; The Footprints; Lies & Misinformation; Media Coverage. Along with other aspects not listed here, Injustice in Perugia also honestly reviews the Italian legal system and how it pertains to Amanda and Rafaelle. The website also effectively refutes one of the better known guilters, Harry Rag. A guilter is someone who for one or many reasons of their own making will always believe that Amanda and Rafaelle are guilty. While visiting Injustice in Perugia, look in on the tribute page to Meredith.

Friends of Amanda (FOA) is a 'site devoted to the truth about Amanda and the charges against her'. U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell has made a statement here on the guilty verdict pronounced on Amanda Knox. The site is in five languages. In addition to English are the following: Italian; French; Spanish; German. FOA examines the flawed forensics of the Meredith Kercher murder. The site discusses the lies told to Amanda by the Italian police. It also discusses her statements to the police and also describes the duress under which she made the statements. There are many links to other websites supportive of Amanda and to news media articles. The Media Kit contains portable document files (PDFs) for downloading with the exception of an html format of the case summary with active links.

Visit the Trump Blog. Mr. Donald Trump advocates a boycott of Italy. While he hopes that Amanda's new legal representation- a new law firm led by Theodore Simon- 'can turn around this injustice [wrongful conviction of Amanda] and turn it around quickly' Mr. Trump will boycott Italy for as long as Amanda is sitting in jail. And he urges others to do the same. Don't visit Italy; don't buy Italian products.

The Amanda Knox Defense Fund is for friends and supporters of Amanda Knox. Learn who Amanda genuinely is through uplifting, heartfelt stories from her friends, family, teachers, and other true friends. They know she is innocent.

    Well...as the old saying goes "Innocent until proven guilty" I have read blogs where people have said they felt for her, and wanted to hug her. I have watched videos that painted her in that angelic light, but then there are those...blogs where people somehow got the impression that people think she is innocent because she is white and took that up the butt....so now I am sorta caught in the middle here and am awaiting the final verdict.... If she is innocent then good for her, if she is guilty... , then justice is done.

    The key words are open-mind! If you look openly and honestly, the wrongfulness of this conviction becomes crystal clear. We must hope the appeals court does so, and ends this wrongful imprisonment. Two innocent young people's lives depend on one thing: An open minded judge and jury who will correct this travesty of justice and set them free!

    Knox did NOT falsely accuse Lumumba. Police accused him & insisted to Knox they had proof. They harshly interrogated her until she made confused statements of imagined visions of herself & Lumumba present at the crime. She reaffirmed her innocence afterward but couldn't help Lumumba. All she knew was she was innocent. Cops said they had proof against Lumumba. Even if she knew they were lying, it wouldn't have mattered. They wouldn't believe anything she said.

    Do you believe Amanda Knox is guilty? If your only sources are tabloid headlines and one or two websites that post hateful propaganda, you'll want to hang her. But when I looked past the accusations with an open mind at her side of the story, I cried and wanted to hug her. I challenge you to look at both sides before you make up your mind.
    Proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt? Not even close.
    Please...look for the truth and don't be part of the witch hunt.

    Use some common sense and look at the real Amanda Knox vs. the myths and nonsense put out by the Italian authorities. They had no real evidence against her, so they slandered and vilified her in the press to create an atmosphere and assumption of guilt before the trial even started. Ignore the lies and look at the facts and you'll see the evidence for a conviction just doesn't exist.
    At least be honest and look at her side of the story before you decide:

    According to 427 page "motivation" document, the murder wasn't premeditated. With this theory, the judges needed a reason for Raffaele's kitchen knife to somehow make it over to Meredith's cottage so it could be used in the murder. The report states that Raffaele most likely suggested to Amanda that she should carry the knife in her purse for protection. How many women carry large bulky kitchen knives around in their purse for protection?
    How about these safety suggestions? Do these sound reasonable?

    1. Always walk in groups.
    2. Avoid walking in secluded areas after dark.
    3. Carry pepper spray.
    4. Take a self defense course.
    5. Carry large kitchen knife in purse.

    Really? That's honestly how the knife made it's way over to the cottage? I think it sounds ridiculous. How about you?

    I'll side with the Kercher family. They believe that the three are equally guilty and theirs is the only opinion that should really matter as far as anyone else is concerned.

    Comment boards like this one are often filled with misinformation and outright lies. Please take some personal time, and look at the actual facts of this case. If you do, I am confident that you will come to the same conclusion that I have. Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito have been wrongly convicted. A horrible injustice has occurred in Perugia Italy.

    Meredith Kercher had her life stolen from her. Meredith and her family deserve justice. Imprisoning two innocent people will bring no peace and, certainly, no justice for Meredith Kercher.

    There is no credible evidence linking Amanda Knox or Raffaele Sollecito to this crime. Meredith Kercher's death was an act of extreme violence. Evidence of this crime was quickly spread throughout the crime scene. There is no credible evidence that puts Amanda Knox or Raffaele Sollecito in the room at the time of the murder.



    There is not one fingerprint, not one footprint, not one shoe print, not one hair, not one fiber, no sweat, no saliva, no blood, and no DNA of any kind that puts Amanda Knox or Raffaele Sollecito in the room at the time of the murder.



    Why? The answer is very clear. There was no evidence putting Amanda Knox and Raffaele sollecito in the room at the time of the murder because they were NOT there.



    Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito have been wrongly convicted. Please look past the distraction of the media frenzy. Please take the time and discover the truth today. Please visit: http://www.injusticeinperugia.org

    Please look past the distraction of the media frenzy. There have been many articles printed over the past two years that are filled with misinformation. Many comments below these articles are filled with outright lies. All of this is just noise. It's all a big distraction. The world in general is a distraction. Everything moves at a fast pace. People often neglect to look closely at details. We often base our conclusions on sound bites. Whoever does a better job manipulating the media wins. In reality, the media ends up manipulating us.

    Look past the distraction. Silence the noise. Take some personal time, and look at the actual facts of this case. If you do, I am confident that you will come to the same conclusion that I have. Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito have been wrongly convicted. A horrible injustice has occurred in Perugia Italy.

    Meredith Kercher had her life stolen from her. Meredith and her family deserve justice. Imprisoning two innocent people will bring no pea
