On an autumn night in the beautiful and vibrant college town of Perugia, Italy, a young American student by the name of Amanda Knox is at her roommate’s throat- literally. Knox, angry and resentful of the young woman she shares an apartment with, Meredith Kercher, torments and threatens the British student by wielding a 6 ½ inch kitchen knife while two men hold her down. In a sick and twisted game of sex and revenge, Knox’s boyfriend of just over a week, Rafaelle Sollecito, and a drifter who is local to the area, Rudy Guede, are positioned on either side of the roommate’s mostly naked body, each holding one of her arms, after assaulting Kercher at the will of the woman whose affection they so desperately desire. Finally, Knox drives the blade …show more content…
Within minutes she is unconscious and Kercher’s assailants throw the duvet from her bed over her lifeless body, taking the murder weapon but leaving several bloody prints for the police to find during the investigation to ensue. Giuliano Mignini, the prosecutor of Amanda Knox and Rafaelle Sollecito in the murder trial of Meredith Kercher, portrayed the described sequence of events as unquestionable truth per the evidence collected by Italian police while the defense argued it was nothing more than a theory with no actual forensic evidence linking the accused to this account of the night in question. The prosecution depicted this information in a 20 minute HD video presentation which was viewed by the court multiple times during the proceedings. There was also extensive video footage presented during the trial which highlighted the poor handling and careless collection of evidence from the murder scene as well as from the apartment of Sollecito, which is where the kitchen knife was found. Key questions considered regarding the purported murder weapon went beyond whether an empty shoebox is an appropriate method of transport, however, as the blade did not match any of the wounds found on Kercher’s body nor did the cutlery match the bloody outline of a knife which was found on
While attending school in Italy, Amanda Knox a 27 year old American from Seattle Washington, has gotten herself caught up in quite a lengthy monstrosity. It began in 2007 when Knox and 23 year old Raffaele Sollecito, her boyfriend of one week claim to have been at his home smoking hash and watching movies all night.

The police entered the home only to later discover the bloody body of Knox’s roommate Meredith Kercher. After conducting their investigation along with questioning both Knox and Sollecito, the two were charged and eventually convicted in 2009 for the gruesome stabbing

For example, David Kaiser (historian) states that the prosecutor used false evidence against Sacco and Vanzetti. The evidence shows that bullet 3 and shell w were indeed fired from Sacco’s colt, but they were fired after Fredrick Parmenter and Alessandro Beradelli had already been murdered. This shows once again that the prosecutor wanted these Italian anarchists to be founded guilty even through false evidence. Lincoln Robbins (retired school teacher) knows just about all the facts about the Sacco and Vanzetti case. Lincoln Robbins has been studying the trial of Sacco and Vanzetti for over 30 years now.

The details of the case are horrific in nature, and worse is five men were made aware of the incidents and no action was taken to alert authorities.

The university is located in a small town setting where people work hard and have little; Sandusky reaching out to someone was considered a big deal.

Mr. LaBianca was stabbed numerous times, and the word “war” was carved into his stomach.
There is a particular order that a criminal court case must follow and if that particular order is not followed then the court case will be deemed unconstitutional. Before a criminal court case can take place, a crime must have been allegedly committed and it is the job of the police to investigate the alleged crime by questioning anyone who may have information about the crime and also by gathering physical evidence. A person must be arrested either on the spot or the officer must have probable cause to believe a crime was committed by a particular person. The prosecuting attorney has to determine if the crime was committed by a particular person or not by reviewing all reports and records, witness statements, and the suspect’s prior criminal
