0:06
Speaker 2: Pretty young in Catosms, not Dica.
0:14
Speaker 3: On November two, two thousand and seven, police in Perusia
0:18
Speaker 3: receive a phone call there's been a break in. When
0:21
Speaker 3: police arrive, they discover a young woman has been stabbed
0:25
Speaker 3: to death. She's Meredith Kircher, a British student, a girl
0:29
Speaker 3: with everything to live for. For seven years, her American flatmate,
0:38
Speaker 3: Amanda Knox, was the center of a media and judicial storm,
0:43
Speaker 3: accused of Meredith's murder. In twenty fifteen, the murder convictions
0:48
Speaker 3: of Amanda Knox and Rafael Solechito were overturned once and
0:53
Speaker 3: for all.
0:54
Speaker 4: It's she deserved so much in this I I'm the
1:07
Speaker 4: lucky one.
1:08
Speaker 3: The family of Meredith Kirture feels let down by the
1:11
Speaker 3: Italian judiciary for the contradictory verdicts it has produced over
1:16
Speaker 3: nearly eight years. Meredith Kircher grew up in Croydon, South London.
1:36
Speaker 3: In August two thousand and seven, a new university year
1:40
Speaker 3: is about to start. Meredith, now twenty one, prepares to
1:45
Speaker 3: leave for the ancient and peaceful hilltop city of Perugia, Italy.
1:51
Speaker 5: He was very excited about coming to Italy, looking forward
1:54
Speaker 5: to learning more about Italian culture, seeing the city of Perugia,
1:58
Speaker 5: and making new friends, and she really thought to come here.
2:03
Speaker 5: She really wanted to be here.
2:08
Speaker 3: Mez, as everyone calls her, is studying European politics and
2:13
Speaker 3: Italian at Leeds. Now she has an exchange year in Italy,
2:22
Speaker 3: a country she's been in love with since a school trip.
2:27
Speaker 3: But saying goodbye to her sister, Stephanie isn't easy.
2:32
Speaker 5: We were just talking on the sofa and having a
2:35
Speaker 5: little cudog goodbye, and then I just remember her suddenly
2:38
Speaker 5: crying and saying that she was going to be sad
2:41
Speaker 5: to go, but she was excited to come. And I
2:44
Speaker 5: remember being quite taken aback, thought, don't make me sad.
2:48
Speaker 5: I'll miss you, but you're going to have fun.
2:55
Speaker 3: She leaves on September the first, and quickly afterwards moves
2:59
Speaker 3: into the upstairs flat of this cottage with three housemates,
3:03
Speaker 3: two young Italian trainee lawyers and a student on exchange
3:07
Speaker 3: from the United States, twenty year old Amanda Knox. Amanda
3:15
Speaker 3: has traveled almost six thousand miles from Seattle on the
3:19
Speaker 3: Northwest coast to study Italian in Perusia, Photogenic outgoing and
3:26
Speaker 3: describing herself as quirky Amanda Knox loves the Beatles and
3:31
Speaker 3: Harry Potter. She's been studying at university and has worked
3:35
Speaker 3: three jobs to pay for her Italian adventure. She is
3:40
Speaker 3: very different from the quiet and studious Meredith. While housemates,
3:47
Speaker 3: there is said to be tension over Amanda's supposedly casual
3:50
Speaker 3: attitude to sex, money, and housework. Within weeks, Amanda Knox
3:58
Speaker 3: lands a job in proof, working as a waitress at
4:02
Speaker 3: La Chique, a pub owned by a popular musician from
4:05
Speaker 3: the Congo, Patrick Lumumbambracio.
4:10
Speaker 6: She gave me the impression of a good person. If
4:13
Speaker 6: she wasn't a good person, she wouldn't have worked here.
4:16
Speaker 6: That doesn't mean that her relationship with clients pleased me,
4:20
Speaker 6: because she often talked to the clients and I had
4:22
Speaker 6: to tell her to get back to work.
4:34
Speaker 3: On October the twenty fifth, Amanda and Meredith go to
4:37
Speaker 3: a classical music concert together, where Amanda meets Italian student
4:42
Speaker 3: Rafaele Solechito. He looks like her favorite Harry Potter, and
4:47
Speaker 3: the two begin a whirlwind romance. Described by friends as
4:52
Speaker 3: intelligent and sensitive, the handsome Rafaele has come to Perusia
4:57
Speaker 3: to study information technology. A week later, October thirty first,
5:04
Speaker 3: it is Halloween, and in Perusia, like every other university town,
5:09
Speaker 3: it's party time. It is one of Meredith's favorite nights out,
5:14
Speaker 3: and she is dressed as a vampire. These will turn
5:19
Speaker 3: out to be among the last photographs of her alive, happy,
5:23
Speaker 3: full of life, and completely at home with her new friends.
5:28
Speaker 3: What Happens on the night of November first, two thousand
5:32
Speaker 3: and seven has been the subject of three trials, three appeals,
5:36
Speaker 3: and three Supreme Court rulings. The story has more twists
5:41
Speaker 3: and turns than the medieval streets of Perusia itself. The
5:47
Speaker 3: story starts at nine o'clock in the morning on the
5:50
Speaker 3: second of November, when a local woman finds two mobile
5:54
Speaker 3: phones in her garden. She takes them to the Postal police,
5:59
Speaker 3: which handles crimes involving communication devices. They quickly discover one
6:04
Speaker 3: of the phones is registered to Via de la Pergola seven,
6:09
Speaker 3: a small cottage just five hundred meters away. When police
6:14
Speaker 3: arrive here, they see two students in the driveway, Amanda
6:20
Speaker 3: Knox and Rafaele Solechito. They tell the police the front
6:27
Speaker 3: door is open and one room has been ransacked. Police
6:35
Speaker 3: go into the house. One bedroom's a mess, Clothes are
6:39
Speaker 3: all over the floor and a large rock is lying
6:42
Speaker 3: near the window. Shortly after the postal police arrive around
6:47
Speaker 3: twelve fifty one, Rafaele Solechito calls the elite police force,
6:52
Speaker 3: the Carabinieri. He doesn't mention that the postal police are
6:56
Speaker 3: already there and says nothing's been stolen, details prosecutors would
7:02
Speaker 3: later claim are significant Producer. Meanwhile, Amanda says she's worried
7:34
Speaker 3: about her friend Meredith, her doors locked, she's not answering
7:39
Speaker 3: the phone. When the door is broken down, they discover
7:45
Speaker 3: a beige duvet on the floor. Beneath it the battered
7:50
Speaker 3: and bloody body of Meredith Kercher. Prosecutor Giuliano Mignini arrives
7:59
Speaker 3: just after two pm. He finds Meredith is partially naked,
8:06
Speaker 3: her brass being cut off and her t shirt rolled
8:09
Speaker 3: up above her breasts. It looks like a sexual assault.
8:14
Speaker 7: When you start an investigation, you don't know what happens.
8:17
Speaker 7: You have to slowly reconstruct the situation.
8:23
Speaker 3: Forensics teams work inside and outside the cottage right away.
8:28
Speaker 3: They think it's a staged break in. Glass shards are
8:32
Speaker 3: on top rather than underneath the scattered clothes. The large
8:36
Speaker 3: rock seems too heavy to be thrown from the ground
8:39
Speaker 3: to the first floor window and too big to go
8:42
Speaker 3: through the small crack between the shutters. A handbag, jewelry case, camera,
8:49
Speaker 3: and laptop computer are lying in full view. There's a
8:55
Speaker 3: line of bloody shoeprints from Meredith's room to the front door,
9:01
Speaker 3: and in the bathroom a bloody, bare footprint is on
9:04
Speaker 3: the bath mat. Over four days, investigators collect more than
9:13
Speaker 3: four hundred items from the apartment, photographing and filming their work.
9:20
Speaker 3: Merediths bra has been sliced off, but when police bag
9:25
Speaker 3: it for evidence, they notice something is missing. Somehow, the
9:49
Speaker 3: investigators leave without it, a critical error that will haunt
9:54
Speaker 3: the prosecution case. The autopsy shows Meredith has been strangled
10:03
Speaker 3: and stabbed on two sides of the neck, possibly with
10:06
Speaker 3: two different knives. The second fatal stab severed her thyroid artery.
10:14
Speaker 3: There are forty wounds too many, police believe for one
10:18
Speaker 3: assailant to have inflicted alone. The prosecution's view of what happened,
10:24
Speaker 3: later disputed by the defense, is shown in this reconstruction.
10:29
Speaker 3: Meredith was trained in karate and must have encountered overwhelming force.
10:34
Speaker 8: A person contemp.
10:38
Speaker 9: One person couldn't all at the same time. Hold Meredith
10:42
Speaker 9: still and hold back her hands because there are very
10:46
Speaker 9: few defensive wounds, inflict those wounds with a smaller knife,
10:50
Speaker 9: and then give her the fatal blow with the larger knife.
10:53
Speaker 9: It is impossible. Not even Superman could do it and
10:58
Speaker 9: possibi Nike Superman.
11:04
Speaker 3: The behavior of Amanda Knox and her boyfriend attracts attention.
11:08
Speaker 3: Meredith's friends tell police that far from appearing distraught, Amanda
11:13
Speaker 3: and Raphaele have been seen laughing and joking. A vigil
11:18
Speaker 3: is held for Meredith, but Amanda and Raphaela don't attend.
11:24
Speaker 3: They go for dinner at a friend's instead, and the
11:27
Speaker 3: prosecutor recalls why he was concerned by Amanda's behavior.
11:33
Speaker 10: Guando when the girls were brought to see the knives
11:39
Speaker 10: that were in the kitchen, the.
11:41
Speaker 7: Reaction of Amanda, it was a reaction. She put her
11:45
Speaker 7: hands on her ears, as if she were trying to
11:48
Speaker 7: block out a terrible sound she was hearing in her ears.
11:52
Speaker 7: It was like she was having a nervous.
11:53
Speaker 10: Breakdown, probably own minto.
12:02
Speaker 3: And then there was this one of the defining images
12:06
Speaker 3: of the case, Amanda and Rafael kissing outside the cottage
12:11
Speaker 3: where Meredith was murdered. Her supporters say this was only natural.
12:15
Speaker 11: Did they comfort each other? We've seen that famous footage
12:18
Speaker 11: of the two of them together. They did. What's wrong
12:21
Speaker 11: with any of that? Nothing? It did appear to be
12:24
Speaker 11: wrong to some authorities.
12:28
Speaker 3: November fifth, four days after the murder, RAFAELI Sulechito is
12:35
Speaker 3: called in for questioning. Amanda goes with him, and once
12:38
Speaker 3: again her behavior seems odd. She does yoga and the
12:43
Speaker 3: splits in the waiting room. At this point, the couple's
12:48
Speaker 3: alibi appears to fall apart. Amanda had told police she'd
12:54
Speaker 3: spent the night of the murder at Rafael's apartment. They cooked,
13:00
Speaker 3: watched a film Made Love, smoked marijuana, and went to bed.
13:06
Speaker 3: But separately that our failest story begins to change. He's
13:11
Speaker 3: no longer sure if Amanda was with him all night.
13:15
Speaker 3: Amanda's called in for more questioning, as she is only
13:19
Speaker 3: a witness. At this stage, an interpreter is present, but
13:23
Speaker 3: she has no legal representation. What happens next is crucial
13:29
Speaker 3: and one of the most controversial twists in the story.
13:33
Speaker 3: Police ask Amanda Knox about text messages on her phone,
13:37
Speaker 3: in particular, a message from her boss, Patrick Lumumba.
13:43
Speaker 6: Don't come to work to night because there aren't enough clients.
13:46
Speaker 6: It's like Sunday I sent that message not to come
13:50
Speaker 6: for Bavin.
13:52
Speaker 3: Amanda had texted back, see you later, she says. She
13:58
Speaker 3: just meant to see you around. But police now want
14:02
Speaker 3: to know. Had Amanda arranged to meet Lumumba later that
14:06
Speaker 3: evening and taken him to her house at one forty
14:09
Speaker 3: five in the morning. Amanda breaks down.
14:15
Speaker 7: She says she had entered the house with him because
14:18
Speaker 7: he was attracted to Meredith and wanted to be with Meredith,
14:22
Speaker 7: and she stayed in the kitchen and heard Meredith screams,
14:25
Speaker 7: and he was the assassin. That's what she says.
14:29
Speaker 8: I'm in did he sip?
14:32
Speaker 3: Police believe Amanda Knox's story. They raid Patrick Lumumba's home
14:39
Speaker 3: and take him in Within hours, his photo flashes around
14:43
Speaker 3: the world as one of the murder suspects. But for
14:47
Speaker 3: the police, Amanda Knox has now gone from witness to suspect.
14:53
Speaker 3: If she's taken Lumumba to Meredith, she must have been
14:57
Speaker 3: at the.
14:57
Speaker 8: House lay a post.
15:02
Speaker 7: She put herself at the scene of the crime. She
15:05
Speaker 7: admitted to accompanying Lumumba as if she were an accomplice
15:09
Speaker 7: in his project. She was in the room next door
15:11
Speaker 7: when the crime happened, and her version this fact pushed
15:16
Speaker 7: the police to suspend the audition in order to protect
15:19
Speaker 7: her rights.
15:22
Speaker 10: Garancia suspend.
15:26
Speaker 3: November sixth, two thousand and seven, Amanda, k Oxandrafaeli so
15:31
Speaker 3: Lechito are arrested waiting to be taken to jail. Amando
15:37
Speaker 3: makes another attempt to tell police what happened with Lumumba
15:41
Speaker 3: by writing out an explanation in English. She tells the police,
15:46
Speaker 3: it's a present.
15:49
Speaker 1: In my mind. I saw Patrick in flashes of blurred images.
15:54
Speaker 1: I saw him near the basketball court. I saw him
15:57
Speaker 1: at my front door. I saw myself cowering in the
16:01
Speaker 1: kitchen with my hands over my ears because in my
16:04
Speaker 1: head I could hear Meredith screaming. But I have said
16:07
Speaker 1: this many times so as to make myself clear these
16:12
Speaker 1: things seem unreal to me, like a dream. I want
16:16
Speaker 1: to make it clear that I'm very doubtful of the
16:18
Speaker 1: verity of my statements because they were made under the
16:21
Speaker 1: pressure of stress, shock and extreme exhaustion.
16:29
Speaker 3: But despite her uncertainty, she doesn't retract her accusation. Lumumba
16:35
Speaker 3: remains in jail, pleading his innocence. In the city square,
16:42
Speaker 3: members of the African community protest his arrest.
16:48
Speaker 8: In why ju Tu Julie.
16:52
Speaker 12: Signed the black man is always the thief and the assassin.
16:57
Speaker 12: She wanted them to believe what she was saying. It
17:00
Speaker 12: was just because I was black. She was looking for
17:03
Speaker 12: someone in society who was credible.
17:06
Speaker 13: There was a moment when she should have actually retracted
17:08
Speaker 13: that story, at the moment when she should have said, no,
17:10
Speaker 13: this is the wrong thing to do. And he's grown
17:13
Speaker 13: it to jail for two weeks, just over two weeks
17:16
Speaker 13: for something he did not do, and he lost his livelihood.
17:25
Speaker 3: At this point, another African immigrant enters the story. Twenty
17:30
Speaker 3: year old Rudy gray Day from the Ivory Coast is
17:33
Speaker 3: living in Perusia. Detectives find his bloody thumbprint on a
17:37
Speaker 3: pillowcase that was underneath Meredith's dead body. Because he's an immigrant,
17:43
Speaker 3: they have his prints on file. Police raid his tiny
17:51
Speaker 3: bedsit apartment and test his toothbrush for DNA. It matches
17:56
Speaker 3: traces found on Meredith's brass trap on her body. And
18:01
Speaker 3: on the left sleeve of her pale blue sweatshirt. Rudy
18:05
Speaker 3: Guayde has fled the country. He's arrested in Germany. Perusia
18:11
Speaker 3: attorney Valter Biscotti volunteers to defend him.
18:17
Speaker 8: In Contra Costo Ragazzo.
18:19
Speaker 12: I met this young man in this prison in Schiffenstat, Germany,
18:23
Speaker 12: and he seemed to me like a guy who was scared,
18:26
Speaker 12: someone who was in the middle of a story that
18:27
Speaker 12: was bigger than him. He was surprised to see a
18:30
Speaker 12: lawyer who arrived from Italy for him.
18:33
Speaker 14: Onlui extradited back to Italy, Rudy Guayde confirms the police
18:43
Speaker 14: that he's lived.
18:44
Speaker 3: In the country since the age of five. A keen
18:48
Speaker 3: basketball player, he'd met Amanda and Meredith after shooting hoops
18:53
Speaker 3: with students who lived in the apartment below theirs. They
18:57
Speaker 3: partied and smoked dope together. Meanwhile, the case against Patrick Lumumba,
19:04
Speaker 3: as outlined by Amanda Knox collapses. A customer at the
19:08
Speaker 3: bar has given him an alibi and he freed. How
19:12
Speaker 3: did Amanda Knox come to mention Lumumba's name to police
19:18
Speaker 3: for the first time? We can hear an audio tape
19:21
Speaker 3: of her explanation to the prosecutor. A transcript of this
19:26
Speaker 3: was presented in court, but not the audio. Accompanied by
19:31
Speaker 3: three lawyers and an interpreter. On December seventeenth, two thousand
19:36
Speaker 3: and seven, knox Is asked why she told police Lumumba
19:40
Speaker 3: committed the crime.
19:49
Speaker 15: I was expressed.
19:50
Speaker 16: I was feared it was after a long hour, in the.
19:52
Speaker 15: Middle of the night, and would be innocent. They were
19:55
Speaker 15: telling me that I was killed.
20:00
Speaker 17: What did police tell you?
20:03
Speaker 15: The police are telling you that you know your house,
20:05
Speaker 15: he know view of the house, and before I said
20:09
Speaker 15: Hatrick's name, they were put and someone would shown me
20:13
Speaker 15: the message that I was seen on.
20:14
Speaker 8: The pal insist.
20:20
Speaker 15: I couldn't understand why they were telling me that I
20:24
Speaker 15: was lying.
20:25
Speaker 16: It needs that in that home that I had said
20:35
Speaker 16: Hadrick's name.
20:36
Speaker 15: I thought it could.
20:37
Speaker 18: Have been true.
20:40
Speaker 3: So what's the extent of the police evidence At this point,
20:46
Speaker 3: it includes the knife founder Raphael so Legito's apartment that
20:50
Speaker 3: they believed could be the murder weapon, but they need
20:54
Speaker 3: more so return to the crime scene. Forty six days
20:58
Speaker 3: after the murder. They found Meredith's bra clasp under a mat.
21:04
Speaker 3: Using rubber gloves, they pick it up and inspect it.
21:08
Speaker 3: It will become the most controversial piece of evidence in
21:11
Speaker 3: the investigation. The defense will claim the delay in collecting
21:16
Speaker 3: it could have resulted in contamination. Investigators also, for the
21:22
Speaker 3: first time use luminol to look for invisible bloodstains. Three
21:27
Speaker 3: clear footprints appere plus other small bloodstains more new evidence,
21:34
Speaker 3: but it will be controversial. In Seattle, the campaign to
21:44
Speaker 3: prove Amanda as innocent is underway. Her family turned to
21:49
Speaker 3: a crisis communications firm and a group called Friends of Amanda.
21:56
Speaker 11: It was just this kind of small group of people
21:58
Speaker 11: that were called the America. Hence and our offense. I
22:01
Speaker 11: think there was one quote that the Americans would send
22:04
Speaker 11: in the Marines to get Amanda Knox. I love Italy
22:20
Speaker 11: and in Italy, and I have great respect for the courts.
22:22
Speaker 11: I do think we have a read prosecutor in Italy.
22:25
Speaker 11: If you speak against the prosecution, you can be prosecuted.
22:28
Speaker 11: So nobody can speak, and it's a perfect storm of
22:31
Speaker 11: a potentially very unfair prosecution.
22:45
Speaker 3: Amanda Knox's DNA has been found mixed together with Meredith
22:50
Speaker 3: Kerchers in five bloodstains in the flat. Plus tests show
22:54
Speaker 3: the bare footprints made in blood match the size and
22:58
Speaker 3: shape of Amanda's and her boy friend's feet, and the
23:01
Speaker 3: kitchen knife from Rafaele's apartment shows Amanda's DNA on the
23:06
Speaker 3: handle and a tiny trace of Meredith's DNA on the blade.
23:16
Speaker 3: The clock spins forward almost one year to September two
23:20
Speaker 3: thousand and eight. Amanda Knox, Rafaele Solechito, and Rudy Gwyde
23:26
Speaker 3: appear before a judge in Perusia. With so much publicity
23:30
Speaker 3: now surrounding, Knox, Gwyde opts to be tried quickly and separately.
23:39
Speaker 19: Misono Conveno I was convinced that if he had been
23:43
Speaker 19: tried with the others, that with all the international media
23:46
Speaker 19: clamor and the international pressure there would have been surrounding
23:49
Speaker 19: this trial, they would have dumped all the blame.
23:53
Speaker 8: On Rudy Arebroscaricato.
23:57
Speaker 13: So you have to see the role that money plays
24:01
Speaker 13: it being a USA or even here in your situation
24:05
Speaker 13: as a citizen or as a person as a suspect, right,
24:10
Speaker 13: you're not the just A system is not fair no
24:13
Speaker 13: matter where you are, because money's going to play a role.
24:19
Speaker 3: The prosecution's case is a tabloid editor's dream, they say,
24:25
Speaker 3: Amanda Knox, Raphael Solegito, and Rudy Grayday killed Meredith Kercher
24:31
Speaker 3: in a sex game gone wrong. Gray Day denies this
24:35
Speaker 3: and pleads not guilty. His defense is that he wasn't
24:40
Speaker 3: in the room when Meredith was murdered. He was in
24:43
Speaker 3: the bathroom. Meredith had invited him over. He said when
24:52
Speaker 3: he got there, Meredith was furious because money was missing
24:56
Speaker 3: and she was blaming Amanda. He says he comforted Meredith
25:01
Speaker 3: and things got physical, but they didn't have full sex.
25:05
Speaker 3: He went to the toilet, then says he heard Amanda
25:09
Speaker 3: enter the apartment.
25:14
Speaker 8: Luisa sin tito lace Lamanda.
25:17
Speaker 12: He heard Amanda's voice as she came in. He was
25:19
Speaker 12: in the bathroom or just about to go into the bathroom,
25:22
Speaker 12: and then he really did put on his headphone and
25:24
Speaker 12: listened to music rap I think at full volume, and
25:28
Speaker 12: then heard a scream. He came out and came up
25:30
Speaker 12: against a male figure.
25:32
Speaker 8: I encorachat in Cristo Corridor.
25:37
Speaker 3: Rudy Guayde says this man lunged at him with a knife,
25:40
Speaker 3: cutting his hand. The attacker then yelled black man. Found
25:46
Speaker 3: black man condemned and ran away. Gwyde found Meredith bleeding
25:51
Speaker 3: in the other room. He tried to stem the blood
25:54
Speaker 3: flow with towels and left a bloody thumbprint on the pillowcase,
25:59
Speaker 3: but reading didn't stop, and Gueyde says he panicked.
26:04
Speaker 8: Luja.
26:06
Speaker 12: He tried to help her, He took her in his
26:08
Speaker 12: arms and should have called for help, but he was
26:10
Speaker 12: scared and ran away, and he feels guilty for.
26:13
Speaker 8: This, Queen de Luis perquesto.
26:18
Speaker 3: Rudy Guayde is found guilty of Meredith's murder and sentenced
26:22
Speaker 3: to thirty years. The judge's verdict says Rudy Guayde did
26:30
Speaker 3: not act alone. He's led away to prison. Amanda Knox
26:34
Speaker 3: and Raphael Solechito will now stand trial for the murder
26:39
Speaker 3: and sexual assault of Meredith Kircher. January the sixteenth, two
26:50
Speaker 3: thousand and nine, the trial begins. The world's me is
27:00
Speaker 3: focused on Amanda Knox. Her face fills the front pages.
27:06
Speaker 3: Could this attractive, bubbly All American girl be capable of murder?
27:12
Speaker 3: As they did at Rudy Grayday's trial. The prosecution again
27:16
Speaker 3: suggests the murder was the result of a sex game
27:19
Speaker 3: gone wrong. Again, this is strongly denied. Amanda and Raphael
27:26
Speaker 3: claim they weren't in the house that night. To support
27:31
Speaker 3: their case, the prosecution produces evidence they claim places the
27:36
Speaker 3: couple at the scene of the murder. First, there's the
27:41
Speaker 3: DNA found in the bathroom. The prosecution says it shows
27:46
Speaker 3: the mixed blood of Amanda Knox and Meredith Kercher in
27:49
Speaker 3: the b day rain, the sink drain, and on a
27:52
Speaker 3: cotton bad box. There is also a large drop of
27:57
Speaker 3: Amanda's blood on the bathroom tap. According to the prosecutor,
28:03
Speaker 3: this shows Amanda and Meredith were bleeding at the same time.
28:07
Speaker 3: Strong evidence there was a fight.
28:10
Speaker 20: Libroi.
28:10
Speaker 18: Principalis son no tragedy sangue misto.
28:14
Speaker 9: The principal evidence was mixed blood traces from which were
28:17
Speaker 9: extracted mixed DNA of Amanda.
28:19
Speaker 8: Media equista mistura.
28:22
Speaker 9: The only explanation for that mix is that Amanda was
28:25
Speaker 9: bleeding and touched objects that were covered in Meredith's blood.
28:31
Speaker 9: There's no other explanation.
28:34
Speaker 8: Alternativa.
28:37
Speaker 3: But Amanda's lawyers say this proves nothing. Two young students
28:42
Speaker 3: living together means it's perfectly normal to find mixed blood
28:46
Speaker 3: and DNA in the bathroom. They say it's possible Amanda's
28:52
Speaker 3: DNA isn't from her blood at all, but from her saliva.
28:57
Speaker 3: Sarah Gino is the forensic biologist on Amanda Knox's defense team.
29:03
Speaker 2: Somewhere in this case the test was done for blood,
29:06
Speaker 2: but was the test done for saliva? So we can't
29:11
Speaker 2: know if inside that mixed trace there was blood because
29:14
Speaker 2: it had been demonstrated, or just saliva. Or maybe there
29:18
Speaker 2: was blood from.
29:19
Speaker 3: Both of them.
29:20
Speaker 21: But what does that mean.
29:21
Speaker 2: Maybe someone had a bloody nose one time, and then
29:24
Speaker 2: at another moment someone cut their finger and put it
29:26
Speaker 2: down and their blood got mixed.
29:31
Speaker 3: Then there was the kitchen knife found in a Rafaele
29:34
Speaker 3: Solechito's flat. This, say the prosecutors, is the murder weapon,
29:39
Speaker 3: which has been cleaned. But they have found DNA of
29:43
Speaker 3: Amanda Knox on the handle and a minuscule amount of
29:47
Speaker 3: Meredith Kercher's DNA on the blade. But the words too
29:52
Speaker 3: low are written on the DNA reports for the knife.
29:56
Speaker 3: The test should never have been carried out, say defense.
29:59
Speaker 3: There's no not enough reliable DNA. When questioned by journalists,
30:05
Speaker 3: the prosecution stands by its forensic evidence.
30:09
Speaker 9: It is not too little. The genetic profile is low,
30:13
Speaker 9: but it is absolutely reliable. In fact, we were able
30:16
Speaker 9: to get it, which means there is no uncertainty about
30:19
Speaker 9: the attribution of that profile to the victim.
30:24
Speaker 3: More DNA evidence is presented, this time on Meredith's bra clasp.
30:29
Speaker 3: Police say Raphaels so Legito's DNA is on one of
30:33
Speaker 3: the hooks. This is the only evidence placing him in
30:37
Speaker 3: her bedroom. There is no DNA evidence that puts Amanda
30:42
Speaker 3: in the room. David Balding, a DNA statistician at University
30:50
Speaker 3: College London, is recognized as one of the world's leading analysts.
30:56
Speaker 3: In twenty twelve, he is asked by the Italian Forerecis
31:00
Speaker 3: Sick Association to study Meredith Kirch's bra clasp and to
31:04
Speaker 3: give an independent view on whether Solechito's DNA is present.
31:09
Speaker 3: His findings are not part of the court case.
31:12
Speaker 22: When you just look at the evidence by I you
31:14
Speaker 22: can see very strongly all of Raphael's DNA types are
31:19
Speaker 22: there and that can't be explained by any kind of
31:22
Speaker 22: just environmental contamination. And I calculate how likely is the
31:26
Speaker 22: evidence under the prosecution assertion that that DNA is there
31:30
Speaker 22: from Raphael Solegito, and again how likely it is without
31:34
Speaker 22: him being present, and that the former is much greater
31:37
Speaker 22: than the latter, So that's when I say that's extremely
31:39
Speaker 22: strong evidence.
31:41
Speaker 3: But forensic experts representing the defense remain adamant that the
31:45
Speaker 3: bra clasp had been contaminated and is unreliable.
31:53
Speaker 2: As far as the bra clasp is concerned. What happened
31:57
Speaker 2: This bra class was collected forty six days after the
32:00
Speaker 2: first crime scene inspection, and a mixture of biological material
32:03
Speaker 2: was found. There was a profile tributable to the victim,
32:07
Speaker 2: which is normal, and other material that was attributable to
32:10
Speaker 2: Raphael is soleo. There were other traces, but they were
32:14
Speaker 2: not attributed to anyone.
32:17
Speaker 22: But of course the history of that bra clasp is
32:20
Speaker 22: a bit unusual because it lay in the room for
32:22
Speaker 22: many days without being collected, and so people are worried
32:26
Speaker 22: about the possibility of contamination arising from that. I can't
32:29
Speaker 22: say anything directly because I wasn't there and I don't
32:32
Speaker 22: know the circumstances about the risk of contamination. But what
32:34
Speaker 22: I can say is that contamination of DNA from passers
32:40
Speaker 22: by is not an issue that I've taken that into
32:42
Speaker 22: account in the chance of it matching Solectito's DNA is
32:46
Speaker 22: extremely unlikely.
32:48
Speaker 3: The defense also uses the crime scene video to question
32:53
Speaker 3: the DNA evidence presented by the prosecution.
32:56
Speaker 11: I have it at the crime scene. The videos bloody
33:01
Speaker 11: shoe prints, cleaned up, cleaned up, not saved a prastrap
33:08
Speaker 11: un collected weeks and weeks and weeks after the initial
33:11
Speaker 11: collection that now supposedly connects Amanda Rafaeli in Meredith.
33:19
Speaker 3: But the prosecution keeps producing evidence they say connects Amanda
33:24
Speaker 3: Knox and Raphael so Legito to the crime scene in Fronte.
33:29
Speaker 9: Is as that Amanda's footprints, which were revealed by the lumino,
33:34
Speaker 9: showed DNA attributed to Meredith, which means Amanda was walking
33:38
Speaker 9: in bare feet covered in blood Sparkisan.
33:43
Speaker 3: They argue this is proof the couple came back during
33:47
Speaker 3: the night to clean up and stage the break in,
33:50
Speaker 3: leaving bloodstained footprints in the bathroom and corridor. The defense
33:56
Speaker 3: says there is no proof the prints actually were bloodstains.
34:00
Speaker 3: The luminol may have revealed another substance, such as bleach.
34:05
Speaker 3: The prosecution also presents evidence to challenge the couple's story
34:10
Speaker 3: of what they did that night and the next morning.
34:15
Speaker 3: They show Raphaele's cell phone was turned on at six
34:18
Speaker 3: o two a m despite their claim they slept until ten.
34:23
Speaker 3: Then there was the telephone call to the Carabinieri when
34:27
Speaker 3: Solechito knew nothing had been stolen and failed to mention
34:31
Speaker 3: the postal police were at the scene. They also question
34:37
Speaker 3: Raphaele Solechito's changing alibi and present eye witnesses who contradict
34:43
Speaker 3: Knox and Solechito's stories. In court, the prosecution accuses Amanda
34:50
Speaker 3: Knox of being the leader of a sexual attack on Meredith.
34:55
Speaker 3: They say this was payback for Meredith's disapproval of Amanda's lifestyle.
35:01
Speaker 8: Discourse of the Jo.
35:04
Speaker 7: Eurotic game was always part of the kick. I think
35:08
Speaker 7: that night Amanda wanted to make Meredith pay for judging her,
35:13
Speaker 7: which she found offensive.
35:15
Speaker 10: A ju girl from Seattle to work three jobs to
35:24
Speaker 10: get to Italy to study abroad.
35:26
Speaker 11: An honor student from Seattle Prep doesn't overnight, in my experience,
35:32
Speaker 11: turn in to a to pray murderous overnight.
35:37
Speaker 3: The court's claims make difficult hearing for the Knox.
35:40
Speaker 20: Family, obviously listening to those types of things where you
35:45
Speaker 20: know it's horrible and I mean it was all out
35:47
Speaker 20: attack on her character by individuals that have no idea
35:52
Speaker 20: who she truly is as a person. One of the
35:54
Speaker 20: things that we have tried to do this entire time
35:57
Speaker 20: is obviously support Amanda by always having somebody over here,
36:02
Speaker 20: somebody to visit her and stuff like that, and we
36:05
Speaker 20: have to stay strong in order for her to stay strong.
36:09
Speaker 3: June the twelfth, two thousand and nine, Amanda Knock spends
36:16
Speaker 3: two days on the stand to tell her version of
36:19
Speaker 3: the story. Millions worldwide watch her explanation of why she
36:25
Speaker 3: put the pub owner Patrick Lumumba in the frame.
36:29
Speaker 21: They told me that I was trying to protect someone,
36:35
Speaker 21: but I wasn't trying to protect anyone manasau, And they
36:41
Speaker 21: continued to put so much emphasis on this message that
36:48
Speaker 21: I had received from pass Patrick and so green I
36:56
Speaker 21: almost was your quiet that I had been.
37:02
Speaker 3: Her case is this She was at Raphael's house when
37:07
Speaker 3: the murder happened, watching a movie and reading her emails.
37:11
Speaker 3: They stopped watching the film at nine point thirty. She
37:15
Speaker 3: can't prove it because two of their three computers were
37:18
Speaker 3: damaged when police tried to search the hard drives. Throughout
37:23
Speaker 3: the year long trial, Meredith's family fly in from London
37:27
Speaker 3: to testify and witness the key hearings. They try to
37:33
Speaker 3: keep the focus on Meredith and their quest for justice.
37:43
Speaker 3: The third of December two thousand and nine, the eve
37:47
Speaker 3: of the verdict, Amanda's family arrives to hear her plea
37:52
Speaker 3: for freedom.
37:53
Speaker 20: She knows that she's innocent and has had nothing to
37:56
Speaker 20: do with this, and we're just very hopeful that the
37:59
Speaker 20: court will see and be able to see that in
38:02
Speaker 20: the evidence that's been presented.
38:05
Speaker 3: Amanda is now almost fluent in Italian.
38:10
Speaker 23: Sono calma questi journey your scrito son forstesa e choi
38:22
Speaker 23: pa o paura diaveri onnamasc at the assassina.
38:28
Speaker 3: For the fourth of December two thousand and nine, three
38:42
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty three days since the trial started. The
38:46
Speaker 3: verdict is broadcast around the world.
38:53
Speaker 24: Here anothers Amanda Mario.
38:58
Speaker 3: Scrit guilty of murder, twenty five years for Raphael Soleo
39:06
Speaker 3: and twenty six for Amanda Knox, the extra year for
39:10
Speaker 3: slandering Patrick Lumumba. The Kirchi's Italian lawyer is satisfied.
39:18
Speaker 10: Yali bi falliti incomport.
39:21
Speaker 6: The failed alibis. The behavior of Solectito and Knox's state
39:25
Speaker 6: leads the slander of Patrick Lumumba. These are all elements that,
39:33
Speaker 6: once put together, allowed the determination.
39:36
Speaker 10: Of guilt aquesti una di cacci.
39:42
Speaker 3: But Knox's family keeps tight lipped as they leave the courtroom,
39:48
Speaker 3: pushing it back. When they returned to Seattle, they immediately
39:55
Speaker 3: start preparing her appeal.
40:03
Speaker 11: There's not one piece of physical evidence to link this
40:07
Speaker 11: girl to this crime.
40:11
Speaker 3: They draft legal, forensic, and political consultants from the US
40:16
Speaker 3: and Italy to strengthen the defense team. It takes a
40:20
Speaker 3: year to get to the appeal November twenty fourth, twenty ten.
40:31
Speaker 3: By now, Knox and so Legito have been in jail
40:35
Speaker 3: for three years. This time there is a new judge
40:38
Speaker 3: and a new prosecutor, Giancarlo Costaola.
40:47
Speaker 12: Despite the fact that there had already been a conviction,
40:50
Speaker 12: the deputy judge said at the beginning of the hearing
40:53
Speaker 12: that the only thing that was certain was that a
40:56
Speaker 12: girl was dead.
40:57
Speaker 17: Aira Amanda Knox and Rafael Solegito's defense teams decide to
41:10
Speaker 17: focus on.
41:10
Speaker 3: Rudy Gwayday they call prison inmates convicted criminals to testify
41:18
Speaker 3: that Guide has confessed to them in prison. June twenty seventh,
41:24
Speaker 3: two thousand and eleven. Rudy Guayde takes the stand.
41:32
Speaker 25: By.
41:33
Speaker 3: Now after an appeal, his sentence has been cut from
41:36
Speaker 3: thirty to sixteen years. He denies he made a jail
41:40
Speaker 3: house confession and disasked about a letter he has written
41:45
Speaker 3: claiming Amanda Knox and Rafaeli Solegito killed Meredith. The key
42:20
Speaker 3: focus of the appeal is on the DNA knocks and
42:24
Speaker 3: Kircher's DNA on the knife, so Legito's on the bra clasp.
42:30
Speaker 3: Is it enough to place the defendants at the crime
42:32
Speaker 3: scene or not. The Quarter appoints independent experts Carla Vecchiotti
42:40
Speaker 3: and Stefanoconti from the University of Sapienza Rome to review
42:45
Speaker 3: the science. Their report is scathing about prosecution forensic methods.
42:52
Speaker 3: They cite US manuals and standards, highlighting errors made when
42:57
Speaker 3: the evidence was collected. They do find a new trace
43:02
Speaker 3: of DNA on the knife from Solechito's kitchen that hasn't
43:05
Speaker 3: been tested. However, they argue it's too small to be
43:10
Speaker 3: of use. This report helps the judge focus his decision
43:16
Speaker 3: on whether there is reasonable doubt about the DNA samples.
43:21
Speaker 3: For Meredith's mother and the rest of her family, the
43:25
Speaker 3: hearings are agonizing.
43:28
Speaker 25: That Meredith must have felt that night everything she went through,
43:32
Speaker 25: the fear and they tear out and not knowing as one,
43:39
Speaker 25: and she didn't deserve that.
43:41
Speaker 17: They won't deserves that.
43:46
Speaker 3: October third, twenty eleven, Amanda Knox and RAFAELI Solechito await
43:58
Speaker 3: their fate for the second time.
44:07
Speaker 23: I saw.
44:12
Speaker 8: A non away commission fantom.
44:16
Speaker 3: I'm not guilty. There is sufficient doubt for Amanda Knox
44:26
Speaker 3: and Raphael so Legito to be released immediately.
44:36
Speaker 26: I'm Danna and Ox, Amanda oxes sis sir, and I
44:40
Speaker 26: said a few words on behalf of our family. We're
44:45
Speaker 26: thankful that Amanda's nightmare is over. She suffered for four
44:49
Speaker 26: years for a crime that she did not commit.
44:52
Speaker 7: That Rafael had nothing to do with the murder of
44:55
Speaker 7: that poor girl, Meredith Catcher, who remains.
44:59
Speaker 6: In our hearts.
45:01
Speaker 3: Some in the gathering crowd become increasingly agitated about the verdict.
45:08
Speaker 12: There were people out on the stairs in front of
45:10
Speaker 12: the courthouse and for a long time they yelled, shame on.
45:14
Speaker 3: You, the dark Sedan fairies. Amanda knocks away to a
45:27
Speaker 3: safe house deep in the Italian countryside for an emotional
45:31
Speaker 3: reunion with relatives after almost four years in jail, while
45:38
Speaker 3: Meredith's family is left stunned and pained by the acquittal.
45:45
Speaker 25: Been almost forgotten any one of it. The media photon
45:48
Speaker 25: can't readied her. There's not a lot about what actually
45:54
Speaker 25: happened in the game, so it's very difficult to try
45:58
Speaker 25: to keep her memory alive.
45:59
Speaker 3: In days, the media's photos will be of Amanda Knox
46:04
Speaker 3: arriving home at Seattle Airport.
46:07
Speaker 27: I'm really overwhelmed right now. I was looking down from
46:11
Speaker 27: the airplane and it seemed like everything wasn't real. What's
46:18
Speaker 27: important for me to say is just thank you to
46:20
Speaker 27: everyone who's believed in me, who's defended me, who's supported
46:27
Speaker 27: my family.
46:38
Speaker 3: Amanda finds a home in Seattle's International District and returns
46:43
Speaker 3: to the University of Washington to study creative writing. She
46:48
Speaker 3: starts writing a book about her experience, reportedly receiving a
46:53
Speaker 3: four million dollar advance, although claims that all of the
46:57
Speaker 3: money goes on legal expenses. Back in Italy, Rudy Guide
47:05
Speaker 3: is still in prison, where he has been beaten up
47:08
Speaker 3: by inmates. He has begun studying to build himself a future,
47:15
Speaker 3: and will soon be eligible for parole. For a while
47:22
Speaker 3: this seems like the end of the story, but fate
47:25
Speaker 3: or the Italian justice system has another couple of twists
47:29
Speaker 3: in stall. Now it's the turn of the prosecution to appeal,
47:34
Speaker 3: and on the twenty sixth of March two thousand thirteen,
47:38
Speaker 3: Italy's highest court, known as the Court of Cassation, orders
47:43
Speaker 3: a new trial, overturning Amanda Knox and Raphael so Legito's acquittals.
47:50
Speaker 3: They say the first appeal did not debate many of
47:53
Speaker 3: the ten thousand pages from the first trial, focusing too
47:58
Speaker 3: much on the DNA evidence. September thirtieth, twenty thirteen, the
48:12
Speaker 3: second appeal begins. This time the drama switches to the
48:18
Speaker 3: birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence. Amanda Knox isn't in the courtroom.
48:26
Speaker 3: She refuses to travel from America and defends her decision
48:30
Speaker 3: on television. Only Raphael so Lechito is present in court.
48:39
Speaker 3: He makes a plea to the judge and jury.
48:43
Speaker 24: Your riquiedo meante the potter guardare re altaenda and the
48:54
Speaker 24: considera el grossos baloo facto.
48:59
Speaker 3: Unlike in the appeals court, this judge orders a police
49:03
Speaker 3: forensics lab in Rome to test the new trace of
49:06
Speaker 3: DNA found on the kitchen knife. It's a minuscule amount
49:11
Speaker 3: from where the blade meets the handle. The new test
49:15
Speaker 3: finds that the DNA matches Amanda Knox. Prosecutors say it
49:21
Speaker 3: further proves her involvement in the murder, but the defense
49:25
Speaker 3: says the most likely explanation is that Amanda use the
49:29
Speaker 3: knife when staying at Raphael's apartment. The thirtieth of January
49:36
Speaker 3: twenty fourteen, six years and two months after Meredith Kircher's murder,
49:43
Speaker 3: the second appeal of Amanda Knox and Raphael as so
49:46
Speaker 3: Legito is coming to a close. The judgment watched by
49:50
Speaker 3: the world, so Lechito doesn't wait to hear the verdict,
49:55
Speaker 3: speeding off in a taxi. Amanda Knox stays in the
49:59
Speaker 3: Uniti States, plagued by the same fear she shared on television.
50:05
Speaker 3: Shortly after nine thirty pm local time, after deliberating for
50:10
Speaker 3: more than twelve hours, the judge and jury enter the hall.
50:16
Speaker 18: No whether is the perodifidants into finale Juntra Knox Amanda

Speaker 3: An even longer sentence, twenty eight years and six months
50:38
Speaker 3: for Amanda Knox, twenty five years for Raphael es Legito.
50:43
Speaker 3: The lawyers give their verdict.
50:46
Speaker 23: Media.
50:47
Speaker 3: This trial has been media driven. Everything has been amplified.
50:50
Speaker 3: These kids were taken to prison four days after the
50:53
Speaker 3: body was found. They were the first suspects and never
50:56
Speaker 3: lost that image. She sis A Cadillaci.
50:58
Speaker 28: Imagine say starting if it was a media driven trial,
51:03
Speaker 28: it's not due to the kersher family, who had been
51:05
Speaker 28: absolutely silent. So if we're talking about a media circus,
51:09
Speaker 28: we need to look at the behavior of the suspects
51:12
Speaker 28: and their follow in Tudaja.
51:15
Speaker 3: In court, the victim of Amanda Knox's original slander, Patrick Lumumba,
51:21
Speaker 3: is relieved. He's been awarded forty thousand euros compensation El.
51:26
Speaker 8: La vita Gambiato Molto.
51:29
Speaker 6: Life has changed a lot, but when you have obtained
51:31
Speaker 6: justice like this evening, you feel more encouraged to start
51:35
Speaker 6: all over again.
51:38
Speaker 3: Rafael Solechito has disappeared, but the next day police find
51:42
Speaker 3: him two hundred and fifty miles away at a hotel
51:45
Speaker 3: near the Austrian border, they confiscate his passport. His lawyers
51:49
Speaker 3: say he wasn't trying to flee the country. He remained
51:53
Speaker 3: free until his final appeal.
52:00
Speaker 29: Anybody losing anyone close to them is hard, losing somebody
52:03
Speaker 29: so young, and the way that we did is obviously
52:08
Speaker 29: one hundred times worse. And then on top of that,
52:10
Speaker 29: to have all the media attention that has gone on
52:13
Speaker 29: for so long just makes it very, very.
52:15
Speaker 6: Difficult to cope with.
52:17
Speaker 5: I think we all definitely want some form of closure,
52:20
Speaker 5: even just having it almost at an end of the
52:25
Speaker 5: Italian justice system and knowing that that's the final decision,
52:30
Speaker 5: and then we can all start to remember just Meredith,
52:34
Speaker 5: rather than focusing on who did it or what happened.
52:39
Speaker 3: The day of the final appeal came yet another year later,
52:43
Speaker 3: on the twenty fifth of March twenty fifteen, seven and
52:47
Speaker 3: a half years from when Meredith was brutally murdered in
52:51
Speaker 3: the hillside cottage in Perusia, Italy's Supreme Court of Causation
52:56
Speaker 3: was called upon to decide whether or not to uphold
53:00
Speaker 3: the guilty verdict, with no cameras allowed in Court. The
53:05
Speaker 3: media camped out on the stairs of the imposing palace
53:08
Speaker 3: of the Supreme Court, interviewing lawyers as they came and went.
53:13
Speaker 3: Amanda Knox's lawyers argued her Florence conviction was a grave
53:17
Speaker 3: judicial error, while Raphaelees Solegito's lawyers likened him to Forest Gump.
53:23
Speaker 3: Those familiar with the story of Forest Gump, No, he
53:26
Speaker 3: is an innocent to whom gigantic crazy things happened. After
53:31
Speaker 3: a day and a half of final arguments, the panel
53:34
Speaker 3: of five judges retired to deliberate. Journalists and legal observers
53:40
Speaker 3: reflected on the possible outcomes. Amanda Knox and her family
53:45
Speaker 3: awaited the decision in Seattle, while Raffaele Solechito went back
53:51
Speaker 3: home to Badi. After ten hours of deliberation, shortly before
53:56
Speaker 3: eleven pm, the final verdict was pronounced. The guilty verdict
54:02
Speaker 3: was sensationally overturned. Amanda Knox and rafaelis Leo were cleared
54:08
Speaker 3: of all charges except for Amanda slander of Patrick Lumumba.
54:14
Speaker 27: I'm incredibly grateful for what has happened, for the justice
54:19
Speaker 27: I received.
54:21
Speaker 3: We must no longer suggest any possible involvement of Rafael.
54:27
Speaker 19: Enough enough enough.
54:29
Speaker 3: Francesco Maresca, the Kircher's lawyer, was stunned as.
54:34
Speaker 6: Well la Parola. The final word came with Friday's verdict,
54:40
Speaker 6: but declared the innocence of the two accused, although it
54:43
Speaker 6: did refer to the second clause of Article five three zero,
54:47
Speaker 6: which relates to insufficient.
54:48
Speaker 19: Evidence nicen.
54:57
Speaker 6: Non solo.
55:00
Speaker 16: Markiplication anita of mons.
55:04
Speaker 6: So that they were acquitted without a retrial.
55:06
Speaker 3: So this is where it ends, Queen that Meredith's memory
55:11
Speaker 3: has touched many over the years, has been some solace
55:15
Speaker 3: to her family.
55:17
Speaker 5: Uno Meredith is remembered, but as Lao said, is actually
55:21
Speaker 5: almost there the horrific circumstances that have been forgotten of
55:25
Speaker 5: how she was actually taken from us.
55:28
Speaker 3: Seven and a half years have passed since the death
55:30
Speaker 3: of Meredith Kircher. Amanda Knox and Rafaelis so Legito have
55:36
Speaker 3: been found not guilty of her murder, for which Rudy
55:40
Speaker 3: Gwydey alone is in jail. The very same court of
55:45
Speaker 3: Cassation ruled he did not act alone. No attempt is
55:50
Speaker 3: being made to find other culprits, leaving many unanswered questions
55:55
Speaker 3: for the kirch Of family, who may never know what
55:58
Speaker 3: happened to Meredith that tragic night of the first of
56:02
