Amanda Knox SHOCKER - The Daily Beast

Amanda Knox DNA Shocker

A day after Knox lashed out at her dubious accuser, she got a break on Wednesday with a new report that could lead to her exoneration. Barbie Latza Nadeau reports from Italy.

Amanda Knox's chances for freedom were bolstered on Wednesday when independent forensic experts submitted their report on crucialDNA evidence used to convict Knox and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito. In the report, obtained by The Daily Beast, the experts say that due to "mishandling of the crime scene, contamination cannot be ruled out" on a knife with Knox's DNA on the handle and what prosecution claimed was Kercher's on the blade and on the victim's bra with Sollecito's DNA on the metal clasp. The findings will be presented to the Perugia appellate court on July 25.Amanda Knox Appeal Hearing: Raffaele Sollecito Waffles - The Daily Beast

Silvio Berlusconi, Italian Prime Minister, Is Amanda Knox's New BFF - Seattle News - The Daily Weekly

CONSTANTINE PALACE, STRELNA. Italian Prime Min...Image via WikipediaSilvio Berlusconi, Italian Prime Minister, Is Amanda Knox's New BFF - Seattle News - The Daily Weekly: "The public opinion tide in Italy appears to be changing in Amanda Knox's favor. After positive developments in the Seattle woman's appeals trial including DNA evidence that has been labeled too minute to test and a key witness being caught flubbing details while being outed as a dope dealer, Knox this week got some of her best news yet. And it came from the cronies of Italy's most powerful and possibly most corrupt politician."

A group that has helped exonerate a number of people across the U.S. 
after examining evidence in criminal cases is now looking at the case of Amanda Knox, the American student convicted by an Italian court of the 2007 killing of her roommate.
Dr. Greg Hampikian, a professor of biology at Boise State University is the director of the Idaho Innocence Project and became interested in Knox after examining DNA evidence in the case.
“We take cases primarily from Idaho, we’re working on several cases right now in Idaho with people who claim to be innocent who are imprisoned,” Hampikian told KTVB.
Two years ago, he studied how DNA evidence is used in criminal cases abroad and “…was appalled.”

DNA Expert claims Knox, Sollecito, innocent of murder

Dr. Greg Hampikian is a professor of biology at Boise State University and the director of the Idaho Innocence Project.
“We take cases primarily from Idaho, we're working on several cases right now in Idaho with people who claim to be innocent who are imprisoned,” said Hampikian.
By using DNA evidence, the Idaho Innocence Project has helped to exonerate seven people across the country.  Hampikian's research has taken him around the world.
Two years ago, by chance he became involved with one of the most high profile international murder cases.
“I was trying to study how DNA evidence is used in other countries, and when I looked at the data -- I was appalled,” said Hampikian.
The data he was looking at was from the Amanda Knox case, an American student convicted of murdering her roommate at a home they shared in Perugia, Italy.  Knox, as well as her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, and another man, Rudy Guede, were all convicted in the murder of Meredith Kercher.
"The one piece of evidence that tied her to this case had such a low level of DNA with the victim on it that I think it was probably just one of these casual transfers, certainly not from a stabbing,” said Hampikian.
Hampikian volunteered his services to Knox's defense team.
After scouring over the evidence at his lab on the BSU campus, Dr. Hampikian says Knox and Sollecito are innocent of the crime.
DNA evidence points to Rudy Guede as the prime suspect. Read the full article here.

Daric Richie's troubling past : From LGBT suicide to Amanda Knox, PMF member is a practiced scammer

Troubling that a site such as Perugia Murder File, which at one time had standards ,  is now praising this internet menace who has apparently made a career out of scams.  


I had the misfortune to encounter such a person on a European scholars blog, and it was stunning the number of online identities this man had, and the money he was able to bilk from trusting "colleagues". (This "scholar"  also proved to be a convicted felon and registered sex offender in the UK.)


  It appears DR fits the same profile,  and is in need of the same kind of help.  More of the past antics of this person  @ the following site,  which has aptly called the 20 year old youth  " a sick kid":   http://www.hivster.com/?p=1104

Also, this YouTube exposes Richie under the name of "Daric Rawr":  Nasty stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A-CSpuOprs
