The Hellmann-Zanetti Report
On November 2, , Meredith Kercher, a year old British student studying in Perugia, Italy, was found dead in her apartment, in a clear case of homicide. Her housemate, American student Amanda Knox, and Knox&#;s Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, were soon charged with the killing based largely on circumstantial inferences and suspicions the police had about Knox and Sollecito&#;s behavior. The charges against Knox and Sollecito were not dropped even after physical evidence revealed that a burglar named Rudy Hermann Guede (who had little connection to either Knox or Sollecito) had been responsible for the murder. Instead, investigators theorized that the three of them, Knox, Sollecito, and Guede, had killed Meredith Kercher in the course of a violent sex orgy, and amassed various pieces of evidence which (they claimed) supported this theory.

As the verdict was read out, Knox began sobbing all the harder, with tears of relief pouring down her cheeks.
Mr Sollecito looked stunned; almost in disbelief that after more than 1, days in prison he was to go free.
There were loud cheers from the family and friends of Amanda Knox - her mother and father amongst them - when they realised that the words spoken in Italian by the judge meant their long campaign to secure the American student's freedom had ended in joy.
Judge Hellman had to appeal for quiet so he could finish reading the ruling.
Knox was then rushed from the court, still crying uncontrollably. The security guards moved at pace, whisking her away from the room still reeling with the outcome.
After she had gone, her lawyers and family continued hugging each other, with tears aplenty amongst them too.
