00:01:59You're from Meredith, Kircher.
00:02:01Meredith lives here, but she's not here right now.
00:02:05I'm Rafael Solesto.
00:02:08And this is Amanda Knox.
00:02:11Una studentessa americana.
00:02:13She lives here with Meredith.
00:02:14There's four of us all together.
00:02:16Bene.
00:02:16We found Signora Kircher's cell phone this morning outside her house on Via Sperandio.
00:02:21We thought maybe it was stolen and dumped.
00:02:24Well, I've called Meredith a few times this morning.
00:02:27She didn't answer.
00:02:28I guess that's why.
00:02:29This is starting to freak me out a little bit.
00:02:33What do you mean?
00:02:35Well, when I came home this morning, I noticed that the front door was open.
00:02:39And then I went upstairs and there was a broken window in one of the bedrooms and several drops of blood on the floor in the bathroom.
00:02:46So Amanda ran back to my place and got me.
00:02:49Yeah.
00:02:50We were just up there and it looks like someone broke in.
00:02:54Did you call the police?
00:02:56I thought you were the police.
00:02:58We're the Polizia Postale.
00:02:59We investigate stolen computers, credit cards, and cell phones.
00:03:03Uh, we called the emergency number, the 112 a few minutes ago, and the carabinieri said they would send someone.
00:03:10While we're waiting, though, maybe you can come inside and take a look.
00:03:14I'm scared to go in there again.
00:03:15Sure.
00:03:28The bathroom is this way.
00:03:33When I went to take a shower this morning, I noticed there were some drops of blood.
00:03:37I thought maybe somebody cut themselves.
00:03:42Hello?
00:03:44Oh, that's filling me in on my other roommate.
00:03:47What's going on?
00:03:48Someone broke your window.
00:03:53Oh, my God.
00:03:54Anything they see?
00:04:03My laptop and my jewelry.
00:04:05Everything is here.
00:04:07Where's Meredith?
00:04:08I don't know.
00:04:08Her door is locked.
00:04:10We knocked a few times, but there was no answer.
00:04:13Meredith never locks her door.
00:04:20Meredith?
00:04:20Meredith?
00:04:24Um, I would like to report a break-in.
00:04:35Yes, a peruja.
00:04:38Open the door!
00:04:42Hello?
00:04:44Um, someone broke into our house.
00:04:47What?
00:04:48Are you all right?
00:04:50They're breaking down Meredith's door right now.
00:04:51What?
00:04:53Why?
00:04:54Why?
00:04:56Amanda?
00:04:57Amanda, talk to me.
00:05:02You don't get it, you don't get it.
00:05:04I don't know if there's a foot.
00:05:06I'm going to say something about a foot.
00:05:07I don't understand the rest.
00:05:08A foot?
00:05:09What do you mean a foot?
00:05:10Oh, my God.
00:05:10I don't know if it's a foot or it's a whole body.
00:05:13Everybody out!
00:05:14Mia!
00:05:15Immediately to me!
00:05:16Mia!
00:05:18What's that all about?
00:05:19Oh, my God.
00:05:21That was Amanda.
00:05:22She said something about a, about a break-in.
00:05:32We're here in Perugia where news is coming in of the murder of a young British student.
00:05:36As you can see behind me, the house is being investigated by the police at the moment, with
00:05:40forensics teams still working.
00:05:42Although the authorities have yet to make a formal statement, we're expecting them to
00:05:45do so shortly.
00:05:46More news as we have it.
00:05:47This is unreal.
00:05:48I can't believe this is actually happening.
00:05:51I know.
00:05:52I know.
00:05:52Good morning.
00:06:15Good morning.
00:06:17Good morning.
00:06:17That's Italian for have a nice day, sir.
00:06:24Whatever.
00:06:25Hey, can I get a decaf soy cappuccino and ice latte macchiato?
00:06:32Decaf soy cappuccino and ice macchiato.
00:06:35Por favor.
00:06:36Dude, Foxy, I can't believe that you're ditching us this year.
00:06:40What is that team going to do without you?
00:06:42We need Foxy Noxy.
00:06:43I'm sure you'll survive.
00:06:45We'll find a way.
00:06:46But what about DJ?
00:06:47I mean, is he going to come and, you know, hang out with you in Perugia?
00:06:51Um, actually, we're taking a little bit of a break.
00:06:53He's going to be in China for the year.
00:06:55I'm going to be in Italy.
00:06:56It just doesn't make much sense to be tied down.
00:06:58I'm going to be here forever serving cake.
00:07:01I hate you.
00:07:02You'll love me when I bring you back some Perugian chocolate.
00:07:05Hey, make it some Italian men and we'll call it a deal.
00:07:08Deal.
00:07:09Italian men coming right up.
00:07:11Oh, my God.
00:07:13What are you doing?
00:07:15Oh, Mom.
00:07:16I love you.
00:07:17Oh, I love you too, sweetheart.
00:07:18Hi, Dad.
00:07:19Hi.
00:07:20How's my world traveling?
00:07:21I'm good.

00:07:23Already missing you.
00:07:24I love you tons.
00:07:25Tons and tons and tons.
00:07:28Okay, now, how do you feel about leaving Seattle?
00:07:32I love Seattle.
00:07:33And I love the University of Washington.
00:07:36But it would be really awesome to be somewhere totally new and different.
00:07:39Okay, Mom, your turn.
00:07:41Hi!
00:07:42Come on, baby.
00:07:43Amanda.
00:07:44We're all so proud of you for all you had to accomplish to make this trip possible.
00:07:50We're going to miss you.
00:07:51Oh, no.
00:07:52It won't be the same around here without you.
00:07:53It's only ten months.
00:07:54I'll be back.
00:07:55Ten months is a long time.
00:07:56You all set?
00:07:57Is that your passport?
00:07:58Euros?
00:07:59Pepper's break?
00:08:00Yes.
00:08:01I'm all set.
00:08:02This is the stepfather's drive to Europe.
00:08:03You should write a book.
00:08:04They're a toast.
00:08:05They're a toast.
00:08:06They're a toast.
00:08:07Grab a glass.
00:08:08Only one, honey.
00:08:09Travel safe and come back soon, honey.
00:08:11It's great you could get over here so soon.
00:08:32How's your jet lag?
00:08:35You tired?
00:08:36You survived.
00:08:37This is the town square.
00:08:38This is the town square. It's a cook-up central.
00:08:41And this is Palazzo del Priore.
00:08:43It's got some beautiful 13th-century frescoes,
00:08:45if you want to check it out.
00:08:47You can drink out in the open here.
00:08:49In Italy, they say everything's illegal
00:08:51and nothing's forbidden.
00:08:53See these guys?
00:08:55They're dealing.
00:08:57They're mostly hash and wait.
00:08:59This place is awesome. I want to study here.
00:09:01Well, we can go to some bars after dinner,
00:09:03but you cannot tell Mom anything.
00:09:08There's a place down here that was classified,
00:09:11so maybe I can find an apartment.
00:09:13We should look.
00:09:15Ciao.
00:09:17Oh, come on. It's Italy, dude.
00:09:20Get with the time.
00:09:22You're cute.
00:09:24Come on. I'll share.
00:09:32Oh, excuse me.
00:09:34I'm Amanda. I'm a student here.
00:09:36Is this your flyer of the apartment?
00:09:38Yes.
00:09:39You are three women.
00:09:40We have an extra bedroom.
00:09:41It's very near here, and it's 300 euros a month.
00:09:44It's perfect.
00:09:45When can I see it?
00:09:50Eccoci qua.
00:09:53So, this is your bedroom.
00:09:57It's small.
00:09:58No, it's nice.
00:09:59It's cute. I like it.
00:10:01And you share the bathroom with a girl named Meredith.
00:10:04An English girl.
00:10:05A British roommate. Very cool.
00:10:08Oh, my God. It's perfect.
00:10:14I love it.
00:10:15I love it.
00:10:16Would it be possible for you to give us a one-month deposit?
00:10:18Yes.
00:10:19No problem.
00:10:20I'll get the lease. You can sign it now.
00:10:22Good.
00:10:24I hear you're American.
00:10:26Meredith, nice to meet you.
00:10:27Nice to meet you.
00:10:28Ciao.
00:10:29Ciao.
00:10:30I'm Amanda.
00:10:31Are you studying here?
00:10:32European politics in Italian.
00:10:33Very cool.
00:10:34I'm just starting at Università per Stranieri in September.
00:10:39Right down the street, ace.
00:10:41Ace?
00:10:42No ace.
00:10:43Brilliant.
00:10:44Fantastic.
00:10:45Don't you use that word.
00:10:46Not like that, but it's good.
00:10:48I'll start.
00:10:49I have to go now.
00:11:04My humanities test is tomorrow.
00:11:06Oh, but I thought we could grab a drink after at Merlin's.
00:11:09Another time, OK?
00:11:22time, okay?
00:11:37Raffaele. Amanda, buonasera.
00:11:44I come from Bari. It's down south. On the coast of the Adriaticas, isn't it?
00:11:49Well, you know European geography.
00:11:52Not all Americans are ignorant slugs. Come on.
00:11:55I, uh, I grew up in Seattle. See how you do.
00:11:59Uh, um, Seattle, it's a city.
00:12:01Uh-huh.
00:12:02And Washington State.
00:12:03Okay.
00:12:05And it's home of Microsoft.
00:12:10Most people say, uh, home of Grey's Anatomy and birthplace of Kurt Cobain, and you say Microsoft.
00:12:16Uh, I'm studying computer engineering. What do you expect?
00:12:19I actually think it's very charming.
00:12:22Maybe there is something to make it true
00:12:25A little more goes such a long way
00:12:29You know I want a little more
00:12:32Love from you
00:12:34Love to do me right, yeah
00:12:37You know you gotta let me see
00:12:40Your love for me
00:12:42You gotta do it right, yeah
00:12:45This risotto recipe is from my mother. She used to make it every Friday night before she died.
00:13:03Oh, I'm sorry.
00:13:04Oh, that's okay. It was, um, a long time ago.
00:13:11Blood, The Last of the Vampires.
00:13:16That's one of my mangas.
00:13:19It's Japanese comics. I collect them. Like art.
00:13:24Very cool.
00:13:26So is your dad still around?
00:13:28No.
00:13:29He lives in Bari. He's a doctor.
00:13:32Molto importante.
00:13:34Mm-hmm.
00:13:36My dad's, uh, vice president from Macy's stores.
00:13:39Mm-hmm.
00:13:40And my mom teaches math.
00:13:42They split when I was really little though, so...
00:13:44My parents were divorced too, but, um, back then it wasn't so... accepted.
00:13:51Mm-hmm.
00:13:53And...
00:13:55Kids teased me a lot at school.
00:13:58Oh, this looks really good.
00:14:08I always made fun of in school too.
00:14:13You?
00:14:14Mm-hmm.
00:14:15For what?
00:14:17Well, I played a lot of sports.
00:14:19Oh.
00:14:20And, uh, I didn't have a boyfriend until junior year, so they thought that I was a lesbian.
00:14:25Mm-hmm.
00:14:42Yeah, well, don't kiss like a lesbian.
00:14:45No?
00:14:47Maybe you should try again.
00:14:49I'm reaching back in my home.
00:14:56I roll to you, back to the start.
00:15:02I really like the Italian lifestyle.
00:15:23Everything shuts down in the middle of the day.
00:15:26Life really isn't about going to work and making money.
00:15:29It's about who you are, and what you choose to do, and who you choose to spend your time with.
00:15:36This is actually one of the happiest times of my life.
00:15:39Yeah!
00:15:44Oh!
00:15:45Eh, Magnifico!
00:15:47You are a spirito libero, Amanda.
00:15:56You live your life like a dream.
00:15:58But it is a dream.
00:16:00And I don't ever want to wake up.
00:16:08The chocolate festival was awesome.
00:16:10Are you gonna go?
00:16:11Well, maybe.
00:16:13Maybe.
00:16:14I thought you were mad about chocolate.
00:16:15Something I want to talk to you about.
00:16:18I just don't want it turning into a big thing.
00:16:20Okay?
00:16:21I think you could be doing more around the flat.
00:16:22Cleaning and things.
00:16:24I do clean.
00:16:25When?
00:16:26Every time I go into the bathroom, your stuff is all over the place.
00:16:28It's a sty.
00:16:29And you leave your dishes piled in the sink.
00:16:31Please stop.
00:16:32Sorry, I...
00:16:36Why didn't you tell me I bothered you before?
00:16:38I shouldn't have to tell you.
00:16:39It should be obvious.
00:16:40Hey, my two queens.
00:16:43What's up?
00:16:44What's up?
00:16:45This guy.
00:16:49Look, I'll try harder, okay?
00:16:53Okay?
00:16:54Okay.
00:16:55Are we cool?
00:16:56Are we cool?
00:17:01Hey, met a guy.
00:17:02Oh, really?
00:17:03Yeah.
00:17:04He looks exactly like Harry Potter.
00:17:06He's quiet.
00:17:07He's super smart.
00:17:09Oh, my gosh.
00:17:10His apartment.
00:17:11I think his dad's really wealthy.
00:17:12Hmm.
00:17:13Does he work?
00:17:14He's studying computer engineering at the university, but he, uh...
00:17:18He's not a geek.
00:17:19He's not like that.
00:17:20So you've barely been here two months, and you've already got yourself a posh Italian boyfriend.
00:17:24Yeah.
00:17:25I think I do.
00:17:26We're from totally different cultures, but we have so much in common.
00:17:29It's...
00:17:31It's like destiny.
00:17:34Destiny?
00:17:35Yeah.
00:17:36I like the sound of that.
00:17:38And respect.
00:17:54Oh, my God.
00:17:56Twenty-one-year-old British Exchange student Meredith Kircher was found brutally stabbed to death in her apartment in Perugia earlier today.
00:18:04By all accounts, Meredith, or Mez as she was called by her family and friends, was a good student, a good person, and a good friend.
00:18:13Like thousands of other students, Kircher set off on a year's adventure studying abroad.
00:18:18Sadly, she will not be returning home.
00:18:21This is Nigel Fox.
00:18:22Perugia.
00:18:24Good morning.
00:18:25Good morning.
00:18:31Prosecutor Migni.
00:18:33What do we have so far?
00:18:34The glass in the back window is broken.
00:18:36It's the bedroom of Filomena Romanelli, the roommate of the victim.
00:18:41I said they got in?
00:18:43We think the break-in could have been staged.
00:18:48Let's take a look.
00:18:51Prosecutor, this way.
00:18:53The glass is on top of the clothes, which means the window must have been broken after the room was ransacked.
00:19:13Prosecutor Mignini.
00:19:14We found Miss Kircher in a pool of blood, and she was covered by this quilt.
00:19:30Her throat was slashed.
00:19:31Based on the blood trajectory, she was kneeling in front of the wardrobe when she was stabbed.
00:19:35Whoever did this must have been covered in blood.
00:19:38How'd the killer leave without tracking bloody footprints everywhere?
00:19:42We did find a couple of visible footprints.
00:19:45And we also raised five or six latents with luminol.
00:19:49So someone tried to clean up afterwards?
00:19:52Not the MO of your typical petty thief or rapist.
00:19:55I think we could be looking at something more sinister here.
00:19:57In the meantime, I want to talk to Kircher's roommates and everyone who knew her.
00:20:04There is a place down here that has great scam arts.
00:20:07What's that?
00:20:08It's, um, seasoned and smoked cheese.
00:20:11Sounds good.
00:20:12Sounds good.
00:20:13Wait.
00:20:14One second.
00:20:15Sorry.
00:20:16Hold on.
00:20:17Hi, Mom.
00:20:18Where are you?
00:20:19I'm on a walk with Raffaele.
00:20:21I think you should come home.
00:20:23Mom, I've got to finish school.
00:20:25Well, listen, sweetie, I know how important your studies are to you and that you're abroad,
00:20:29but we'll deal with all that later.
00:20:31I, I just, I just think it's right to come home.
00:20:35You've been through enough.
00:20:36Mom, I'm fine.
00:20:37Really.
00:20:38Seriously, I'm okay.
00:20:39You don't sound okay.
00:20:40I'm staying with Raffaele and I can buy new clothes.
00:20:43It's really not a big deal.
00:20:44Dammit, Amanda.
00:20:46I want you to come home now.
00:20:48Mom, it's not gonna happen.
00:20:50Okay?
00:20:51I'm a big girl.
00:20:52I get to make these decisions now.
00:20:54Hold on.
00:20:55That police won't stop me now, sir.
00:20:58Mom, I have to go down to the precinct, alright?
00:21:00We'll talk about this later.
00:21:02I love you.
00:21:03Bye.
00:21:04She said she's not coming home.
00:21:05But how can she stay there?
00:21:06If I was her, I'd be a basket case right now.
00:21:07I mean, Amanda always thinks she has to be so strong and so in control, but she has to
00:21:21be completely stressed about this.
00:21:23She says you are going to leave.
00:21:25Everything's happening so fast.
00:21:30I can't think.
00:21:32It's like a nightmare.
00:21:36You're shocked.
00:21:37Amanda Knox?
00:21:47Yes, it's my turn.
00:21:49Prego.
00:21:54I woke up at my boyfriend, Rafael Solicito's apartment where I'd slept the night before.
00:21:59And around 10.30 I went back to my house to take a shower.
00:22:05Was there not a shower at Solicito's house?
00:22:08Yeah, but it's small, plus all my clothes are at my house.
00:22:12But when I got there, I noticed that the front door was open.
00:22:17But sometimes the lock on the door doesn't catch, so I just went in anyway.
00:22:22And then when I went upstairs to take a shower, I noticed that there were some drops of blood on the floor.
00:22:30A blood stand on the bath mat and another one on the sink.
00:22:35You're very brave.
00:22:37You found the door open.
00:22:40Blood in the bathroom.
00:22:43Despite all this, you had a shower.
00:22:45Well, I mean, the truth is I thought it was menstrual blood or somebody cut themselves.
00:22:50I mean, I definitely didn't think somebody had been murdered.
00:22:54Did you leave the house at that point?
00:22:59No, my hair was still wet, so I went into the other bathroom to use a blow dryer.
00:23:05And that's when I noticed there was an unflushed poop in the toilet, and I thought that was weird because we always flush the toilet.
00:23:19So that's when I got Raffaella.
00:23:22And what happened when you went back to Amanda's place with her?
00:23:25We looked around and I got concerned, so I called my sister who works for the police, and she told me to call the 112.
00:23:35After I did, we went outside and waited for them.
00:23:41Thank you both.
00:23:42I know this is a very difficult time.
00:23:44I can't hear.
00:23:45We just want you to catch whoever did this to Meredith.
00:23:47Go ahead, I promise.
00:23:48Where do you want to go?
00:23:49I don't know.
00:23:50My house is officially a crime scene, so I guess that's out.
00:23:51You can stay in my place if you want.
00:23:53At least now I have some clean underwear.
00:23:54Wait, does that mean you're not wearing Danny right now?
00:23:57Maybe.
00:23:58Maybe not.
00:23:59Maybe not.
00:24:00I don't know.
00:24:01I don't know.
00:24:02I don't know.
00:24:03I don't know.
00:24:04I don't know.
00:24:05I don't know.
00:24:06I don't know.
00:24:07I don't know.
00:24:08I don't know.
00:24:09I don't know.
00:24:10I don't know.
00:24:11I don't know.
00:24:12I don't know.
00:24:13I don't know.
00:24:14I don't know.
00:24:15Maybe.
00:24:16Maybe not.
00:24:23What's going on?
00:24:26It's a memorial.
00:24:28To Meredith.
00:24:31She looks happy.
00:24:45Hey, you remember I told you I was looking for a part-time job?
00:24:55You got one?
00:24:56Not yet, but there's an opening down at Le Chique and I was going to go check it out.
00:25:00Do you want to come with me?
00:25:02Please, moral support.
00:25:06Fine.
00:25:07I used to make me eaters with that vodka back in London.
00:25:17Vodka?
00:25:18No, we could.
00:25:19Hmm.
00:25:20They're amazing.
00:25:21You want to try one?
00:25:22Sure.
00:25:23I need a waitress.
00:25:25Two nights a week.
00:25:26Do you have any work experience?
00:25:28Uh, yeah.
00:25:29While I was going to college, I worked part-time at a cafe and a sports bar and an art gallery.
00:25:33The pay at Le Chique is 50 euros a week plus tips.
00:25:37Want to think it over?
00:25:39No.
00:25:40No, I'll take it.
00:25:41I'll take it.
00:25:42Here you go.
00:25:45It's fantastic.
00:25:52Maybe you could come in once a week and bartend.
00:25:56We could do Meredith's mojito night.
00:25:59Oh, good luck getting her away from the books.
00:26:02It's not easy.
00:26:03My course load is a little insane right now, but maybe in the spring.
00:26:06Deal.
00:26:07What are you thinking?
00:26:16Thinking that I hope this is all over soon.
00:26:20And this time last year, all I worried about was midterms and pulling a good shift at my
00:26:29job.
00:26:30Now my roommate's dead, and I'm in the middle of a murder investigation.
00:26:35Life's just so random, you know?
00:26:42We're gonna get through this.
00:26:48We've got each other.
00:26:59I found over 40 bruises and cuts on Kertcher's body, in addition to multiple stab wounds.
00:27:05Most of the cuts were superficial jabs, almost as if someone were towing with her before
00:27:10killing her.
00:27:11According to her family, she was a strong girl.
00:27:13She would have fought for her life.
00:27:15Bruising indicates someone held her down and choked her before she was fatally stabbed.
00:27:22How could a single person inflict this much damage?
00:27:28There had to be more than one attacker.
00:27:31Was she raped?
00:27:33It could have been rape or it could have been rough consensual sex.
00:27:37It's impossible to determine which.
00:27:39So, someone had sex with her and then tried to strangle her?
00:27:49And when that didn't work, they slit her throat.
00:27:55You have time of death?
00:27:56Between 9.30 and 11.30pm.
00:27:59But there is something else.
00:28:01Forensic evidence indicates that several hours after death, Kertcher's bra was cut off.
00:28:09And their body was moved.
00:28:13What kind of killer returns to the crime scene?
00:28:15Cleans up.
00:28:19Stages are breaking.
00:28:22And lost the body.
00:28:30We're trying to establish a timeline of Meredith's last 24 hours.
00:28:34Do you remember the last time you saw her?
00:28:37Uh, yeah.
00:28:39Yeah, the day that she died.
00:28:41Um, it was around noon.
00:28:43I was sitting in the living room playing guitar.
00:28:54Hey.
00:28:56Hey.
00:28:58Oh, I'm completely exhausted.
00:29:01Couldn't get in till 5.30 this morning.
00:29:03I've got a little something in your face.
00:29:08Fake blood.
00:29:09It was a vampire for Halloween.
00:29:10And she left about a half an hour later, yelled goodbye on her way out, and that's the last time I saw her.
00:29:17And what did you and Raffaele do?
00:29:18We went into my bedroom and, uh...
00:29:22Amanda.
00:29:27Detective Navarra and I have been around.
00:29:30There's no need to be embarrassed.
00:29:32Okay.
00:29:34Uh, we smoked a joint.
00:29:36And, um, around five o'clock we went back to his house and watched a movie on the internet.
00:29:41And after that?
00:29:42And after that?
00:29:47I thought this was about Meredith.
00:29:49We're asking these questions to everybody.
00:29:52And because you are so close to Meredith, your memories are especially important.
00:29:58Perfor?
00:29:59Okay, we, um, smoked another joint.
00:30:05And...
00:30:08Had sex and went to bed.
00:30:11When?
00:30:15What time did you wake up?
00:30:18Uh, around 10 a.m.
00:30:21I went back to my house and I've told you all of this already.
00:30:25Well, police business is very boring.
00:30:27It's, uh, some paperwork and questions over and over.
00:30:35Would you mind going back to the cottage with me?
00:30:39I promise to come up with some new questions.
00:30:43Yeah.
00:30:45The four boys who live downstairs, how well do you know them?
00:30:50Pretty well. We were all friends.
00:30:52Was Meredith sexually active with any of them?
00:30:55Yeah. Uh, she was seeing Giacomo Salenzi.
00:30:58He's a really, really nice guy.
00:31:00Hmm.
00:31:05Does he have a key to the upstairs?
00:31:07No, I don't, I don't think so.
00:31:09They'd only been seeing each other for a few weeks.
00:31:12I only ask because we think whoever murdered Meredith used the key to get in.
00:31:16I thought they broke in through Philomena's window.
00:31:21We suspect the break-in was, um, you know, staged after the fact.
00:31:27To throw us off, you know.
00:31:28Yeah.
00:31:37Come on.
00:31:38I need your help.
00:31:44Do you notice any knives missing, Miss Knox?
00:31:46Amanda.
00:31:47What's wrong?
00:31:52Amanda.
00:31:54Stay tranquilla.
00:31:55Come, come, come, come.
00:31:56I think I'll say.
00:31:57Come on.
00:32:07Amanda, put your hood over your head.
00:32:08Amanda, put your hood over your head.
00:32:09Yeah, my gosh.
00:32:10Bye.
00:32:16Prosecutor.
00:32:17Prosecutor.
00:32:18Is it true that Meredith was raped?
00:32:19What?
00:32:21Permesso.
00:32:23Permesso.
00:32:25Yes, we do.
00:32:27We're working on them now.
00:32:29That's it.
00:32:30Thank you so much.
00:32:31Thank you so much.
00:32:36Permesso.
00:32:37Come in, please.
00:32:38That's it, no more.
00:32:41I just got off the phone with Amanda.
00:32:43She said the police took her back to the crime scene today.
00:32:46I said it was terribly upsetting.
00:32:48Don't they have any other witnesses?
00:32:50Amanda said they're talking to everyone who knew Meredith.
00:32:53Must be so traumatic.
00:32:54You have to keep reliving it every single day.
00:32:57Who said they questioned her every single day this week?
00:33:00Amanda's a smart kid.
00:33:01She can handle it.
00:33:02She's in a foreign country, Chris.
00:33:04Dealing with foreign police in a foreign language.
00:33:07Yeah.
00:33:09I'm gonna leave tomorrow.
00:33:11I don't want her dealing with us another day by herself.
00:33:16We found this partial next to Meredith's body.
00:33:19It's a men's Nike athletic shoe set in Meredith's blood.
00:33:24This bloody footprint was on the mat in the bathroom.
00:33:28Also male.
00:33:30The lab is analyzing it for specific class characteristics.
00:33:34Size-wise, it's compatible with Raffaele Sollecito.
00:33:37What about the luminol footprints you found in the hallway?
00:33:41Are they compatible with Sollecito?
00:33:42Too small.
00:33:43They're between a size 36, maybe 38.
00:33:48Amanda Knox is a size 37.
00:33:55Was there anything unusual about Amanda's behavior after Meredith's body was found?
00:34:01When we were in the squad room waiting to be questioned, Amanda was acting very strange.
00:34:10Everybody noticed it.
00:34:11Strange in what way?
00:34:16Meredith's English friends and I were a complete mess.
00:34:22They were all crying and hugging each other.
00:34:30Amanda and Raffaele were fooling around acting like nothing had happened.
00:34:34They were completely detached.
00:34:38Did Amanda say anything at all about the crime?
00:34:40I said I hoped Meredith hadn't suffered and she turned to me and said...
00:34:51Of course she did.
00:34:54She died a terrible slow death with her throat slit.
00:34:58You're sure?
00:35:01She said Meredith's throat was slit.
00:35:04Positive.
00:35:06Amanda and Raffaele were in the kitchen when the door was broken down.
00:35:10Is there any way she could have caught a glimpse of the neck wound?
00:35:13Yeah, maybe on her way out.
00:35:15Meredith's body was covered by a quilt.
00:35:18Only her hair and her foot were visible.
00:35:20And there is more.
00:35:22The owner of Quinto's supply store came in today.
00:35:25He told me that a young woman with piercing blue eyes and a pale complexion came into his store at 7.45 the morning after Meredith had been murdered.
00:35:34And bought household cleaning supplies.
00:35:37He thinks it was Amanda.
00:35:38He identified her in a photo array.
00:35:45How about going down to Bali this weekend?
00:35:48You could meet my father.
00:35:50Wow, you move fast.
00:35:52Yeah, right.
00:35:53It would be a relief to get away from all this police questioning.
00:35:55Well, you have nothing to hide, right?
00:36:00Mm-hmm.
00:36:02I think my father would like you.
00:36:05Has he liked your other girlfriends?
00:36:08You are my first real girlfriend, Amanda.
00:36:10No, I'm not. Stop it.
00:36:11No, I'm serious. It's true.
00:36:15It's true.
00:36:20Well.
00:36:24Oh.
00:36:27Police.
00:36:29Pronto.
00:36:32Si.
00:36:33Celestial.
00:36:35Mm-hmm.
00:36:37But bad.
00:36:39They want me over there in 30 minutes.
00:36:43Do they want to talk to me?
00:36:45Just me.
00:36:47I'm scared to be with my miss.
00:36:50I'll go with you.
00:36:51I'll go with you.
00:36:59Partire...
00:37:01...dal...
00:37:03...ventin...no...
00:37:05...dove...
00:37:07...dove...
00:37:09...dove...
00:37:10...dove...
00:37:12...dove...
00:37:14...dove...
00:37:16...dove...
00:37:18...dove...
00:37:19...dove...
00:37:22...dove...
00:37:26We looked into your background.
00:37:28You have a long history with narcotics, correct?
00:37:31Mm.
00:37:34I have taken some drugs.
00:37:38But now I mainly just smoke weed.
00:37:44Is it also true that you always carry a knife with you?
00:37:47I've collected knives since I was...
00:37:51...14?
00:37:54It's a hobby.
00:37:56What, like lying?
00:37:58What's that supposed to mean?
00:38:00These records show that both you and Amanda turned off your mobile phones at 8pm on the night of the murder...
00:38:06...and turned them on again at 6 the next morning.
00:38:09So maybe I turned my phone on earlier?
00:38:13What's the big deal?
00:38:14You told us you and Amanda slept until 10am on November the 2nd.
00:38:18Were you sleepwalking?
00:38:19Maybe I forgot?
00:38:20You forgot.
00:38:24When the postal police arrived at the cottage, you told them you'd already called 112.
00:38:28There is no record of such a call.
00:38:30I did call 112.
00:38:33Yes, you did, but you made that call 10 minutes after they arrived, not before.
00:38:41I'm...
00:38:43I'm done here.
00:38:45Listen, you spoiled brat.
00:38:47We're not dealing with a parking ticket here, okay?
00:38:50A girl has been murdered.
00:38:51If you don't start talking, even your daddy will be able to take you out.
00:38:55Yes.
00:38:56Is that clear?
00:38:57Yes.
00:39:00Good.
00:39:01I'm listening.
00:39:14I told you a lot of rubbish in my earlier statements.
00:39:17Mm-hmm.
00:39:18Amanda convinced me of her aversion, and I...
00:39:24I just wanted to protect her.
00:39:32But I didn't think about the contradictions.
00:39:34Amanda, per favore, this is not the time or place for gymnastics.
00:39:52Sorry, I was just trying to relieve some stress.
00:39:55Just sit down, please.
00:39:57Did you stay with Amanda all night, Raffaele?
00:40:03That's what we really want to know.
00:40:07We were at my apartment early in the evening.
00:40:11But around nine o'clock, she went out.
00:40:14She was eating up with some friends in this barley shake.
00:40:20And I stayed home.
00:40:22What time did she come back?
00:40:23Not until one in the morning.
00:40:29I have no idea where she was all night.
00:40:33I have no idea where she was all night.
00:40:45We have a translator available to you.
00:40:47Should any of our questions be unclear.
00:40:52Where's Raffaele?
00:40:54We are interested in a text you got from Patrick Lumumba, your boss at Le Chic, on the night of the murder.
00:41:00Yeah, he told me that I didn't have to come into work.
00:41:04But how do you know about my text messages?
00:41:07Can you read your response to him?
00:41:12Yeah.
00:41:13My Italian's not perfect, but it says, uh,
00:41:20Ci vediamo più tardi.
00:41:22In Italian, that phrase suggests a fixed appointment.
00:41:26In English, I think it just means see you around.
00:41:29Were you arranging to meet him that night?
00:41:32No. No. Not at all.
00:41:37It's almost one o'clock in the morning. Can I go?
00:41:40I'm afraid that won't be possible.
00:41:41You have to start again!
00:41:44Okay?
00:41:50We cannot do it tomorrow.
00:41:51We have to do it tomorrow.
00:41:54You said that already!
00:41:56I know!
00:41:58You have to stay here all night or what?
00:42:01I'll tell you the same story.
00:42:02I don't know what you want me to tell you.
00:42:05Once I realized I didn't have to go to work,
00:42:08Raffaele and I had dinner,
00:42:11we made love,
00:42:13and then we watched a movie on his computer.
00:42:17How many times do I have to go over this?
00:42:19Until your story adds up.
00:42:21What is that supposed to mean?
00:42:23It means that Raffaele's alleging to
00:42:24is no longer corroborating your alibi.
00:42:26He stated you left his house at 9 on the night of the murder
00:42:29and didn't return home until 1 a.m.
00:42:32What?
00:42:34That's, that's, that's not true!
00:42:35That's not true!
00:42:36Just who are you trying to protect?
00:42:38Amanda, is it Mr. Lumumba?
00:42:40No, I, that's not true!
00:42:42Amanda, Amanda, I know you want to tell us the truth.
00:42:45I can see it in your eyes.
00:42:48I don't want you to take the fall for someone else.
00:42:53It's just that things from that night and memories are hazy.
00:42:57Yali!
00:42:58I don't remember!
00:43:00If you're lying, you could get 30 years in jail
00:43:02and never see your family again!
00:43:05For what? For what? I didn't do anything!
00:43:08I didn't do it!
00:43:09Amanda, Amanda!
00:43:10If you cooperate with us now, it will be much better for you.
00:43:20I'm scared!
00:43:21It's okay. It's okay.
00:43:23It's okay.
00:43:25The truth will come out, you know?
00:43:27One way or another.
00:43:31Sometimes, the mind blocks out trauma.
00:43:35Use your imagination.
00:43:38Think about what could have happened.
00:43:41You called Patrick Lumumba.
00:43:46You were going to see him.
00:43:48And then?
00:43:50Oh, my God.
00:43:52I'm, I'm afraid.
00:43:55I don't know what to do.
00:43:56It's okay. It's okay.
00:43:58Just try to remember.
00:43:59I did meet up with Patrick that night.
00:44:10Around 9pm, we went back to my house.
00:44:14Patrick and Meredith went in Meredith's room while I stayed in the kitchen.
00:44:18I can't remember how long they were in there.
00:44:20Just...
00:44:22At one point, I heard Meredith screaming.
00:44:26I was so scared.
00:44:34I can't remember anything out of that.
00:44:36It's my head. It's all...
00:44:38It's fuzzy. I just, I need some sleep.
00:44:41Please, can I go home?
00:44:45Amanda, I'm glad you remembered.
00:44:48But the law now requires me to do two things.
00:44:51You've become a suspect as an accomplice to murder.
00:44:53And you'll have to tell the prosecutor what you just told me.
00:44:57No.
00:45:01Are you ready to do that?
00:45:15Track down Lumumba.
00:45:16Get him in here. Now.
00:45:18You're lucky you're not in America, Mr. Lumumba.
00:45:21You'd be electrocuted for your crime.
00:45:23What crime?
00:45:25I have no idea what you're talking about!
00:45:27You think I killed Meredith?
00:45:28We have a written statement from Amanda Knox.
00:45:29In it, she accuses you of raping and murdering Meredith Kirch.
00:45:42She's lying!
00:45:43I have seven sisters, man!
00:45:44There's no way I could hurt a woman!
00:45:45Seven sisters.
00:45:46Detective Alicastro.
00:45:47Detective Alicastro.
00:45:48Detective Alicastro.
00:45:49Detective Alicastro.
00:45:50That's a compelling defense.
00:45:51I think we've made a horrible mistake here.
00:45:52This man has seven sisters.
00:45:57Seven sisters.
00:46:06Detective Alicastro, that's a compelling defense.
00:46:11I think we've made a horrible mistake here.
00:46:15This man has seven sisters.
00:46:18He couldn't possibly have raped
00:46:21and brutally slaughtered an innocent young woman.
00:46:24Listen to me!
00:46:26I was at my bar all night!
00:46:29I barely knew Meredith,
00:46:30and I certainly never been to her flat!
00:46:33Really?
00:46:34In her statement, she says she was there with you that night.
00:46:39What possible reason could she have to implicate you
00:46:42and herself at the same time?
00:46:45Do you speak English? English?
00:47:00Uh, sorry. Just a minute.
00:47:03Hi! Chris, I'm finally here.
00:47:06Police just arrested Amanda for Meredith's murder.
00:47:09What?
00:47:10Look, it's gonna be okay, honey.
00:47:12Just go to the mayor's office, okay?
00:47:15How can they possibly arrest her?
00:47:18I know you want answers, but right now we have none.
00:47:21Well, my ex-husband, who's Amanda's father, is going to be here on Friday,
00:47:25and he is contacting the American Embassy.
00:47:28The mayor has spoken to a criminal attorney, Lorenzo Giordano.
00:47:31He's very good, very experienced, and he knows everyone.
00:47:35Well, there's a possibility that she won't even need a lawyer, right?
00:47:38I mean, once this whole thing is straightened out, right?
00:47:41I mean, Amanda, she's only 20 years old.
00:47:45She's an honor student.
00:47:46She's kind, and she's gentle, and there is no way she could be involved in something like this.
00:47:54It's a horrible mistake.
00:48:08Can I call my mom?
00:48:16You're tired.
00:48:34How do you feel?
00:48:35I'm on my mind.
00:48:36I'm on the road.
00:48:37I'm on the road.
00:48:38On our MySpace beach.
00:48:39Signora!
00:48:40Maria!
00:48:59Oh, ma.
00:49:02Are you all right?
00:49:03I'm just confused, this is like a nightmare.
00:49:16What happened?
00:49:18I don't know.
00:49:19All I know is that Meredith was my friend and I didn't kill her.
00:49:22Amanda, we know that.
00:49:24But why did they arrest you?
00:49:26Because Rob Vanley lied.
00:49:28He said that I wasn't with him the night of the murder and I don't know why.
00:49:32He's always been so nice to me.
00:49:34Maybe he wanted to disassociate himself from me.
00:49:36He was scared.
00:49:37I don't know.
00:49:38Hey, slow down.
00:49:39What happened with the police?
00:49:42They interrogated me for 13 hours.
00:49:45And I was so scared, I finally told them that maybe I was at the house with Patrick the night that Meredith was killed.
00:49:53But it was more like a vision.
00:49:55It wasn't reality.
00:49:56I just wanted them to stop questioning me.
00:49:59Look, we're meeting with an attorney.
00:50:01He'll get to the bottom of this.
00:50:03Okay.
00:50:04Prego.
00:50:07Don't go.
00:50:08Please help me.
00:50:09I don't want to hear you.
00:50:11Come here.
00:50:12No.
00:50:13No.
00:50:14I'm gonna lie.
00:50:15I'm gonna lie.
00:50:16I'm gonna lie.
00:50:17I'm gonna lie.
00:50:18I'm gonna lie.
00:50:19I'm gonna lie.
00:50:20I'm gonna lie.
00:50:21Oh, I promise.
00:50:22I'm gonna lie.
00:50:23I'm gonna lie.
00:50:24No.
00:50:25I'm gonna lie.
00:50:26I'm gonna lie.
00:50:27I'll get you.
00:50:28I'm gonna lie.
00:50:29I'm gonna lie.
00:50:30Let her up.
00:50:36Did he come?
00:50:38Not only is there not a shred of forensic evidence placing Patrick Lumumba at the crime scene,
00:50:43but a witness just stepped forward confirming his alibi.
00:50:46How is that possible?
00:50:48Because Amanda lied.
00:50:53How could she remain silent while I put an innocent man behind bars based on her statement?
00:50:59She could be-
00:51:00She thinks we're a bunch of inept fools.
00:51:02She could be protecting somebody else.
00:51:05We lifted a fingerprint in Meredith's bedroom that did not belong to Patrick, nor Amanda, nor Raffaele.
00:51:13When I ran it through the database, I brought a hit to Rudy Gaudet.
00:51:18Who the hell is Rudy Gaudet?
00:51:20He immigrated here as a child from the Ivory Coast.
00:51:24Since then, he's only had a few skirmishes with the law.
00:51:29The only problem is nobody knows where he is now.
00:51:32We'll find him.
00:51:34Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:51:36Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:52:06You're having a party without us?
00:52:20What's going on?
00:52:22We've been hiding since two belle ragazes.
00:52:25We live upstairs. I'm Meredith.
00:52:27Rudy.
00:52:29Meredith's friend, Meredith's friend, Meredith's friend, Meredith's friend.
00:52:34Wanna get high, wanna get high.
00:52:37All right.
00:53:01You'll be happy to know that Rudy Guede is now in Italian custody.
00:53:04Good.
00:53:05Have they questioned him yet?
00:53:07Briefly.
00:53:08He said he had consensual sex with Meredith, and then he went to the bathroom.
00:53:12When he came back, he saw a strange man with a bloody knife standing over Meredith.
00:53:19He also told police that Amanda wasn't involved.
00:53:23Thank God.
00:53:28Okay, so when did he release her?
00:53:30Mr. Lumumba, why do you think Amanda Knox falsely incriminated you?
00:53:34I don't really know, but I don't think she's evil.
00:53:40To be evil, you have to have a soul.
00:53:44Amanda doesn't.
00:53:46She's empty.
00:53:47She's empty.
00:53:48Dead inside.
00:53:49It's been weeks and weeks.
00:53:54They already have the man who did this.
00:53:56Why is my daughter still in jail?
00:53:58There are some complications.
00:54:00What do you mean complications?
00:54:03Based on the autopsy results, the prosecution believes Guede did not act alone.
00:54:10They think he had accomplices.
00:54:11They think he had accomplices.
00:54:12But Rudy already said that they weren't there.
00:54:17He has changed his story.
00:54:19He says he met up with Meredith at a Halloween party.
00:54:23He's now claiming that Amanda and Raffaele were at the cottage on the night of the murder.
00:54:28She invited him over the next night for a date.
00:54:31While they were kissing, Rudy suddenly got stomach cramps.
00:54:38He was on the toilet listening to his iPad when he heard a loud scream.
00:54:44He came out to find a man he describes as Raffaele with a bloody knife.
00:54:53Meredith!
00:54:54Meredith, no!
00:54:55Meredith!
00:54:56Yeah!
00:55:01Then he looked out the window and saw a woman he described as Amanda.
00:55:08His story is absolutely ludicrous.
00:55:11He's only trying to save his own skin.
00:55:13He raped that girl and then he killed her.
00:55:17How can Vanini believe the word of this drug dealer over my daughter?
00:55:22The case is still under investigation.
00:55:25There's still a long way to go.
00:55:27Excuse me, Mr. Giordano.
00:55:29I mean, no offense.
00:55:31But the system that you have over here is absolutely insane.
00:55:41How long?
00:55:42Apparently, the judges, more than a dozen judges, have to review the evidence before they decide if the prosecution even has a case.
00:55:51And at any point along the way, the whole thing could be coming out.
00:55:55Mom, how long?
00:55:56Well, all in all, it could take up to a year.
00:56:07A year?
00:56:08Mm-hmm.
00:56:09A year?
00:56:10Mom, I've been here for two months already.
00:56:12I should be back in college, I should be back in Seattle and moving on with my life, not sitting here rotting in an Italian joke or something.
00:56:23That's something that I do.
00:56:24I know, honey.
00:56:25But they've got their own system here and we may not agree with it. We may not even understand it.
00:56:36We have to trust them to do the right thing. We're gonna get through this, Amanda.
00:56:43You are our child and your father and I will do everything we can to see you through this. Everything and anything. Okay? You understand?
00:56:56Yeah.
00:56:57You understand?
00:56:58Yeah.
00:57:06We found Rudiger Day's DNA all over the victim's bedroom. It was also on her bra, her handbag, her shirt and inside her body.
00:57:14We identified Amanda's DNA mixed with Meredith's blood in five locations in the flat.
00:57:20This blood smear on the bathroom faucet contained Meredith's blood mixed with Amanda's blood.
00:57:27This is the knife we confiscated from Raffaele's kitchen drawer and we identified Amanda's DNA on the handle and Meredith's DNA on the tip of the blade.
00:57:39So Amanda put the knife to Meredith's throat, keeping her under control. Raffaele held her down while Rudy raped her.
00:57:48Meredith fought back. Amanda plunged the knife into her neck, killing her.
00:57:53This is a plausible theory. The only problem is that the levels of Meredith's DNA in the knife were extremely low.
00:58:00How low?
00:58:01Less than five cells.
00:58:04You might not have what the Americans call a smoking gun, but if you add all the evidence together, I think you have everything you need to convict them all.
00:58:11The forensic results have confirmed that the three people responsible for this unspeakable orgy of death are Amanda Knox, Raffaele Sollecito and Rudy Guedet.
00:58:34The other mortal.
00:58:35The victim was sexually assaulted, which leads us to believe that it started as some sort of sex game.
00:58:40How could this young girl commit such a violent crime?
00:58:43Under the angel face exists a very disturbed girl.
00:58:47Amanda lies without conscience.
00:58:50She does cartwheels and buys lingerie while her roommate lies dead in the morgue.
00:58:54She has no trace of empathy for Meredith or anyone else.
00:58:58I believe she's capable of anything, including murder.
00:59:01Grazie.
00:59:02Amanda is a hard-working athletic honor student, not this sex crazed foxy noxy character they've concocted.
00:59:14The papers are calling her a diabolical vixen.
00:59:19It's a total, absolute fabrication.
00:59:23Trial by media. It can get pretty vicious.
00:59:25I mean, this photo here.
00:59:28This was taken at a museum in Germany while Amanda was visiting her aunt.
00:59:33Her aunt.
00:59:34And where's the other one?
00:59:35Foxy Noxy?
00:59:36This is a childhood nickname that she had from playing soccer when she was eight years old.
00:59:42What kid doesn't?
00:59:43Foxy Noxy details her many lovers in Italy.
00:59:46How can they do that?
00:59:47I mean, how can they just expose her personal life to the whole world?
00:59:51Public relations is all about creating an image, and whoever controls that image wins.
00:59:58If this thing goes to trial, she could be found guilty before she even steps foot in court.
01:00:04We're not rich, but we contacted you because we want to fight back.
01:00:08We need to fight back for Amanda.
01:00:11A lot of our work will be done through the American media.
01:00:14We need to get this story on the talk show circuit into mainstream magazines, newspaper interviews.
01:00:20Okay, uh, well, I guess we'll do whatever you need us to, right?
01:00:26There's something else that might help.
01:00:28The prosecutor on our daughter's case is under indictment in Italy.
01:00:34We'll certainly look into that.
01:00:36As Jesuit honor student Amanda Knox languishes in a Perugian jail for a crime she says she didn't commit,
01:00:43but it now appears she's not the only one in the hot seat.
01:00:47In a twist that most Americans would find unbelievable,
01:00:51we've discovered the chief prosecutor, Giuliano Mignini,
01:00:54is himself under indictment for intimidation and illegal wiretapping in a decades-old serial murder case.
01:01:01The prosecutor, Giuliano Mignini, has made his share of enemies over the years.
01:01:16Rubbish, complete rubbish.
01:01:18I'm trying to save their daughter by destroying my reputation. I capito. It's outrageous.
01:01:23Giuliano, it's a smokescreen. An act of desperation. You know that.
01:01:27Did I falsely accuse an innocent man?
01:01:30Or lie to the police about my alibi?
01:01:32Or leave my bloody footprints and DNA at the crime scene?
01:01:35Do cartwheels? Or try to scrub my guilt away with bleach?
01:01:38What did I do?
01:01:41I did my job.
01:01:43And I'm not going to let this case be tried by American TV reporters and bloggers.
01:01:49This case is going to be tried in a court of law.
01:01:52There is a chill in the autumn air here in Perugia,
01:01:55as Rudy Gaudet arrives in court to receive the verdict in his fast-track trial.
01:01:59Also here are the ex-lovers, Amanda Knox and Raffaele Soleilcito.
01:02:03Do you want to say something?
01:02:05Foxy Noxy swept into court like an invitee to a gala event.
01:02:09She waved and smiled at friends and reporters as she sat before Judge Michele,
01:02:13who will decide later today if there is sufficient evidence to send her to trial
01:02:17for the brutal murder of Meredith Kircher.
01:02:23In the name of the Italian people, this court declares
01:02:26Rudy Hermann Gaudet, guilty of the murder of Meredith Kircher and sexual assault.
01:02:36Sentenced to 30 years.
01:02:39Amanda Knox and Raffaele Soleilcito,
01:02:42will be tried for murder, sexual assault, theft, and transportation of a knife.
01:02:48No!
01:02:51What?
01:02:54What?
01:02:55What?
01:02:59Oh!
01:03:00No!
01:03:02No!
01:03:05No!
01:03:06No!
01:03:08No!
01:03:10No!
01:03:11No, no!
01:03:12No!
01:03:13No!
01:03:14No!
01:03:15No!
01:03:16This case is like a puzzle, while individual pieces can be picked apart, put together there
01:03:31is a compelling picture of guilt.
01:03:35On the one hand, we have the victim, Meredith Kircher, a studious young woman who was soon
01:03:42to return to London for her mother's birthday.
01:03:46On the other, we have Amanda Knox, a narcissistic, aggressive, and manipulative young woman who
01:04:00harbored a hatred for Meredith.
01:04:04Now in her desire to retaliate, Amanda enlisted the services of two young men who were vying
01:04:09to impress her.
01:04:11Raffaele Sollecito, her smitten, weak-willed lover, and drifter Rudi Gedet.
01:04:20Now each of these three individuals may have been harmless on their own, but like certain
01:04:25chemicals when mixed together, they produced a cataclysmic reaction of blood and horror.
01:04:36Meredith's death was unreal in many ways, and it still is.
01:04:45I still look for her.
01:04:48Such a shock to send your daughter away to school, not have her come back.
01:04:59She will never, never get over this.
01:05:03How would you describe the relationship between Meredith and Amanda?
01:05:07At first they got done very well, in part because they both spoke English, I think.
01:05:26But then things began to take a different course.
01:05:30By the end of October there was tension.
01:05:33Tension over what?
01:05:35Meredith complained that Amanda brought strange men back to the house.
01:05:39She didn't feel her did their share of cleaning, and she was also upset that Amanda left condoms
01:05:46and a vibrator in a transparent bag in the bathroom they shared.
01:05:52And Phil and Mina really turned on me and her testimony today, huh?
01:06:03I never did anything to hurt her.
01:06:05You only lived there two months.
01:06:07She barely knew you.
01:06:09Yeah, I miss my friends back home.
01:06:11What about Raffaele?
01:06:13The thing with Raffaele could have been something special, but we just never got the chance.
01:06:17But we're so friends, I mean, he's gonna come visit us in Seattle when we get out.
01:06:40Mr. Rinal, you own a clothing boutique here in town, correct?
01:06:44It's called Bobbo's.
01:06:46On November 3rd, did the accused come into your store?
01:06:51Yes, they bought some lingerie.
01:06:54And did Amanda Knox say anything to Raffaele Sollecito during this time?
01:06:58Yes.
01:07:01She said to him, I'm going to take you home for some wild sex tonight.
01:07:05So on November 3rd, while her murdered roommate's memorial was being held in Perugia,
01:07:12Miss Knox's main concern was buying sexy lingerie and making love.
01:07:17Could you talk, please, about the lingerie shopping spree?
01:07:20No, Amanda only went to that store because she didn't have any clothes.
01:07:24The police sealed off her apartment and she didn't have anything to wear.
01:07:28And how do you respond to allegations she was doing cartwheels in the police station?
01:07:32Look, Amanda's Amanda.
01:07:34She's always been a unique girl.
01:07:36A lot of kids want to conform, but she was always just who she is and never worried about it.
01:07:43And now?
01:07:44She's grown up a lot.
01:07:46Can you tell the court what you did on the evening of November 1st, 2007?
01:07:58Yes.
01:07:59Raffaele and I were at his apartment and we read a little, listened to some music,
01:08:08and then we watched the movie Amelie a little later on his computer.
01:08:12You also called your mother that day, at 3 a.m. Seattle time.
01:08:17Actually, I don't remember doing that.
01:08:20I called her later when they were breaking Meredith's door down.
01:08:22No, no, no. The earlier call is important.
01:08:26Because at 3 a.m. in Seattle, it was noon in Perugia.
01:08:33Nothing had happened yet.
01:08:34The police hadn't arrived. The door had not been broken down.
01:08:37Meredith's body had not been discovered.
01:08:40Why did you feel the need to wake your mother up in the middle of the night?
01:08:46I didn't call her earlier.
01:08:48According to your mother's earlier testimony,
01:08:54and this phone record, you did.
01:08:58Okay, fine.
01:08:59And I did call her, but I don't remember.
01:09:01Earlier, you heard Marco Vidello testify that you entered his shop on the morning of November 2nd at 7.45 a.m.
01:09:14and went directly to the cleaning supply section.
01:09:17How do you respond to that?
01:09:18I was asleep at that time. He must be mistaken.
01:09:21He identified you in court.
01:09:25He said he was sure it was you.
01:09:29Well, I've been in that store several times before.
01:09:31He just must have mixed up the dates.
01:09:35Moving on to the date of November 6th.
01:09:37It was during this interrogation that you falsely accused Patrick Lumumba of murdering Meredith.
01:09:46Why?
01:09:46Because he was the only one that the police were interested in,
01:09:56and I was confused, and I couldn't remember what happened.
01:10:01And have you ever imagined something that never happened to you?
01:10:05No, but I've never been interrogated like that before.
01:10:10At the time, I was very stressed out, and I was confused,
01:10:14and the police suggested Patrick's name, and so I had a flashback that Patrick was a murderer.
01:10:20So what does this mean? Either something is true, or it isn't true.
01:10:26For example, you're in court right now. You're not at the beach, no?
01:10:29No. Can I finish now? Please.
01:10:37Later on, I realized that my imaginings were not real memories.
01:10:43It was just imagination. I... Patrick... Patrick's innocent. He was innocent.
01:10:50But you never told the police that.
01:10:54You never told me!
01:10:55Didn't you feel the need to intervene and get an innocent man out of prison?
01:11:02Perhaps you had other reasons to keep Lumumba on the hook.
01:11:05Objection!
01:11:07You've heard testimony about what happened before the murder of Meredith Kircher,
01:11:25and testimony about what happened after.
01:11:27Based on the evidence,
01:11:28I'm now going to tell you what we think happened during it.
01:11:34Around 10 o'clock on the night of November 1st, 2007,
01:11:39Amanda Knox and Raffaele Solegito went to Grimana Square.
01:11:43Now, I believe they were there to meet Rudy Guedet to buy drugs.
01:11:49At 11.20, Amanda opens the door to the cottage with her key, and she and the two men enter.
01:11:56They're all under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Rudy goes to the bathroom.
01:12:01Amanda and Raffaele find Meredith in her bedroom, having just returned from dinner with her English friends.
01:12:06Amanda and Meredith began to argue. The fight could have been over any number of things.
01:12:14Meredith and Amanda no longer got along. Petty jealousies.
01:12:17The fact that Meredith didn't approve of Amanda's sexual or hygiene habits.
01:12:23The time had come for Amanda to take revenge, and that's when Meredith's ordeal began.
01:12:28It is Amanda who started the fight, which triggered an unstoppable crescendo of violence.
01:12:34And it is Amanda who plunged the knife into Meredith's neck.
01:12:40It is Amanda and Raffaele who return later, undress Meredith, cut off her bra to make it look like a rape.
01:12:51And then Amanda covers the body with a quilt, a form of pietas, respect for the victim.
01:13:01As a woman and friend, she couldn't stand to see the nude, battered body she was responsible for.
01:13:15Amanda and Raffaele then ransack Philomena's room.
01:13:17They throw a rock through the window, a shower of glass lands on the clothes, on the floor.
01:13:22It is Amanda and Raffaele who staged the break-in in Philomena's room, bought bleach,
01:13:27and then scoured the crime scene, only stopping when they were interrupted by the unexpected arrival of the postal police.
01:13:37Meredith Kircher was a beloved young woman.
01:13:41Her mother, father, sister, and two brothers will now have to go to the cemetery to be near her.
01:13:53Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito, they took poor Meredith from this world.
01:13:59You must give them what they deserve.
01:14:04Life imprisonment!
01:14:11The Hermann Hesse books are in German.
01:14:27Mom thought it might be interesting to read them in the original.
01:14:32It's really hard hearing people say those terrible things in court.
01:14:35I mean, I told the truth.
01:14:41I didn't do anything. I didn't kill Meredith.
01:14:44The prosecution was just trying to prove its case.
01:14:47Things will get better once the defense gears up tomorrow.
01:14:53What if it doesn't?
01:14:55The possibility that I could actually be convicted never seemed real until now.
01:15:01They're not going to convict you.
01:15:05We can't lose faith now.
01:15:07They don't have any evidence.
01:15:10That was all conjecture.
01:15:11Why are they doing this to me?
01:15:16How does everybody hate me?
01:15:20We located abundant levels of Raffaele Sollecito's DNA on the victim's bra class.
01:15:26But did you find Sollecito's DNA on the body or anywhere else in the bedroom?
01:15:31No, just on the bra.
01:15:33So you're saying that in this entire bloody crime scene, Sollecito's DNA was only found in one place,
01:15:40a bra clasp?
01:15:41Yes, that's correct.
01:15:44Dr. Stefanoni, could you please tell the court when this bra clasp was collected from the crime scene?
01:15:50We photographed it on the first day.
01:15:52Yes, but when was it actually collected?
01:15:5647 days later.
01:15:5847 days later.
01:16:01So it lay on the floor for six whole weeks.
01:16:05Is this what you're saying, Dr. Stefanoni, out in the open?
01:16:08The crime scene was sealed.
01:16:10Nonetheless, crime scene technicians were traipsing in and out.
01:16:14Surely DNA could have been shuffled about.
01:16:15Now, there was only one other DNA sample belonging to Raffaele Sollecito in the whole cottage.
01:16:23It was in the kitchen.
01:16:24It was on a cigarette butt.
01:16:26DNA doesn't fly, Counselor.
01:16:28No, of course not.
01:16:31But you admitted you made a mistake collecting evidence.
01:16:35Perhaps you made mistakes in your lab, too.
01:16:38Dr. Stefanoni, based on the amount of blood and the quantity of injuries sustained by Miss Kutcher,
01:16:49would you say she put up a violent struggle to save her life?
01:16:53Yes.
01:16:53During this violent struggle, Rudy Gadez's DNA and prints were deposited all over Merritt's bedroom.
01:17:01Yet, there's not one fingerprint.
01:17:04Hair, sweat stain, drop of blood or cell of DNA belonging to Amanda Knox.
01:17:10How do you explain this?
01:17:11I have seen numerous stabbings where no DNA was deposited.
01:17:16You testified earlier that you found DNA fitting the profile of murdered Kutcher on the blade of this knife,
01:17:24which was confiscated from Raffaele's apartment.
01:17:27Yes, it's correct.
01:17:29How many tests did you run on the DNA?
01:17:32Just one.
01:17:33The sample was extremely low level.
01:17:35Extremely low level?
01:17:37It was practically non-existent.
01:17:39Five cells, huh?
01:17:41Isn't that correct?
01:17:42Yes, it's correct.
01:17:44Dr. Turret, could you please give me your professional opinion regarding the DNA profile
01:17:51matching murdered Kutcher, which was found on the knife?
01:17:59The low strength of the DNA signal tells me that we are talking about four or five cells in all.
01:18:07A good DNA sample has twice as many.
01:18:11And what conclusions can you draw from that, if any?
01:18:14The fact that the sample is so small could indicate that it didn't come from the victim herself,
01:18:23but from contamination in the laboratory.
01:18:26After having reviewed the evidence, what is your theory of the crime?
01:18:33Based on DNA and fingerprints collected the scene, I believe Rudy Guedet was the sole perpetrator of this crime.
01:18:42The evidence suggests he overpowered Miss Kutcher, forced her to her knees, stood in front of her like this,
01:18:58and then he stabbed her in the neck.
01:19:02They say that I'm calm.
01:19:06I'm not calm.
01:19:07I'm scared of losing myself.
01:19:11I'm scared of being branded something that I'm not.
01:19:16I'm scared of having the mask of an assassin forced onto me.
01:19:21After years of prison, I confess I feel sad.
01:19:28And I feel frustrated.
01:19:33In front of you, I feel vulnerable.
01:19:36But I'm sure of what I know.
01:19:38And Meredith was my friend.
01:19:43And I would have never hurt her.
01:19:48My conscience is clean.
01:19:53I'd like to thank the prosecution.
01:19:56Because they're doing their job.
01:19:59And even though they don't understand,
01:20:02they're trying to bring justice to a person who is taken from this world.
01:20:08That's it.
01:20:22You did a great job today on the stand.
01:20:24Mm-hmm.
01:20:24You were open and direct.
01:20:25Yeah.
01:20:26It looked like the jury really, really connected with you.
01:20:29Yeah, I mean, it looked like they believed you.
01:20:31Yeah.
01:20:32Yeah, but what if they don't?
01:20:33You have to trust.
01:20:34You have to trust, okay, that the jury is going to see right through the prosecution.
01:20:38It's lies.
01:20:38And if they don't get it right the first time, we'll win on appeal.
01:20:41I bought you a plane ticket.
01:20:50Why don't we go to Seattle?
01:20:51Well, that's...
01:20:51That's a really...
01:20:52I'm coming home.
01:20:56That's good.
01:20:56I'm coming home.
01:21:06Condunno.
