Will there be though?They were acquitted by the highest court in Italy, other than the European Court of Justice i can't see them going any further and with what evidence? The evidence that already had them freed then acquitted

It's the right decision in my mind too - there's more than a reasonable doubt that they were involved.

I don't agree, but it's a moot point. Can't win them all I guess.I would suggest that the only people who cannot see even a single reasonable doubt that she was involved in the murder haven't read into the case.

Some truth there, in how judgement is reached at all levels.When you have sex games (that go right or wrong) you'd expect to leave some traces of your DNA. There was only one person's DNA at the the murder scene, Rudi Guede's. So if that is the basis of the prosecution then it will always fall down trying to prove that Sollecito and Knox were also involved.

Only one persons DNA at the scene is not true - Rafael's DNA was found on Meredith's bra clasp allegedly Martin4x4 said:

/paraphrase
On the flip side there is often an assumption that anyone British (I know Knox is American) charged or found guilty of a crime overseas is being stitched up by some dodgy corrupt tin pot regime./paraphrase

Only one persons DNA at the scene is not true - Rafael's DNA was found on Meredith's bra clasp allegedly The possibility of cross contamination was far too great and the DNA too degraded to be used or admissible as evidence. There was also the issue that it was found solely on the clasp and not on the cloth of the bra. This is inexplicable any other way than as cross contamination.
Their convictions were unsafe. The Italian justice system works - but the initial investigation must have left a lot to be desired. This is a shame as a poor British lass lost her life and her family will always feel that there has not been a full and proper explanation of her death. However they can, at least, take some very small measure of comfort in the fact that the bloke who definitely did it, and they have proof that he did, is banged up in jail.
Did the prosecution ever get to the bottom of why Knox was allegedly buying cleaning materials very early on a Sunday morning and why Rafael's knives were scrubbed spotlessly clean and why when arrested Knox implicated the bar owner Lamumba and why the glass was on the floor after the break in but not on the clothes
Sadly Rudy will never be a credible witness even when after his release he tells his version as I feel sure he will
The Kercher family have remained dignified throughout this bungled process I wonder how they really feel ?
