Plus Meredith (the victim) had never been to Raffaelle's place, so why would Meredith's DNA show up on the tip of the knife? Its obvious why Amanda's DNA would be on the knife, she his girlfriend. I tried to post a comment earlier but it hasnt showed up yet, so I am posting this again. Also if anyones wants the facts on this case and a good place to discuss them openly, check out this link. http://perugiamurderfile.freeforums.org/viii-main-discussion-april-09-t136.html#8262 The thing about the Kercher murder case is the fact that the double DNA knife was found at Amanda’s boyfriends place, it was determined to be his knife, because Amanda’s two other flatmates, Laura and Filomena, testified in court, that the knife found at Raffaelle’s was not one of their households knives.

Especially troubling is the fact that Meredith had never been to Rafaelle's place.

It was found in Knox's boyfriends house. Knox's other roommates confirmed it was not a knife thet ever saw in their home. When asked about the knife and the victims DNA, Knox's boyfriend replied that he accidently pricked her while cooking together at his house. AK and others confirmed the victim was NEVER at the boyfriends house. Things are a bit different now, huh? Hey Matt,

When cleaning the knife wear THICK THICK rubber gloves so as to not get your finger prints on again. Dont wash just once. Wash once as through as you can and let it soak in the bleach for a few hours and then wash again. Sure it might rust but its better then being in jail right? There are other more effective chemicals than bleach tho but you would need some real connections to get those and they wouldnt damage the knife...just the dna if you were really smart you would have the bleach bought way ahead of time so that they cannot trace the “pure coincidence” of it being bought very close to the murder.

They don't think things through. If they really gave it a thorough thought, they could've chosen not to do the crime from the beginning because they are well aware of how sophisticated the real CSI could be.

The knife could have been brought from her boyfriend's home to her home by her, and then was used in the murder and washed by someone else, and then was brought back to her boyfriend's home by her again. As to the surveillance video showing her coming back to her home in light clothing, it can explained away by pointing out that the video might have failed to record her leaving the house in dark clothing soon afterward, before the murder occurred. The only thing that is difficult to explain is the fact that she changed her stories and they bought bleach to clean the house the day after the murder occurred.

It's fair to say that DNA left legitimately is going to be less valuable evidentially (but enough for the media to sensationalise) in court and isn't going to break the case. But if DNA from both suspect and victim are on the knife, one is Celluar DNA (from touching, handling) and the other DNA from a blood stain, then it puts a different slant on things.( I don't actually know if this the case with regards this incident but you get the idea).
