1. The black drug-dealer from the Ivory Coast, no question, DNA evidence in the room, etc. He was convicted and even he hasn't continued screaming, "I'm innocent."
2.The club owner, born with a guilty face, so it's hard to tell.
3. The Italian boyfriend of one week, don't think that he did it or had any part in it except to cover up.
4. Amanda, don't think that she did it, but I think that she knows more than she is saying.
Here's a hypothetical scenario:
Amanda and her boyfriend get really high on drugs in the apartment -- maybe even the Ivoirian drug dealer is there, because they know him & invited him in. After getting high, Amanda and her boyfriend retire to have wild sex or fall asleep. Maybe they hear something going on in the other girl's room, but they either write it off to rough voluntary sex or rape, but they are so high that they don't care. Never crosses their mind that the Ivoirian guy is actually killing her roommate.
Amanda wakes up in the morning and still hungover from the night before goes in to take a shower. She sees blood but doesn't trust what she's seeing or what it might mean until the shower fully wakes her up & brings her back to reality. She gets out of the shower, checks the other girl's room and finds her dead. She wakes up the boyfriend and tells him. They both panic. Because they let the drug dealer in and got high with him, they figure that they are going to get implicated. So in a state of panic, they try to cover up what happened. They break the back window of the girls room, lock the bedroom door, and leave the apartment to go think out what to do next and to get their mutual stories straight. They then come back to the apartment, pretending like they just arrived and the police show up. They tell the police their stupid, unverifiable story and the whole sorry police/court show takes off from there.
This hypothetical would explain, the footprint in blood, the rest of the circumstantial evidence, and the bizarre behavior by Amanda and the boyfriend afterward.
This is just a hypothetical, but once you lie to the police about something like this -- especially in Italy-- no one including the jury is ever going to believe the truth if you tell it later so you don't bother telling it.
But I do think that something resembling this hypothetical is what really happened.
That’s what I think too. And perhaps throw in there that maybe Knox made a comment to the Ivory Coast guy like “and my roommate is really hot”.
I think we may have a winner. That's the likeliest explanation for what really happened that I've read so far.
One thing's for sure, whether she's innocent or guilty of the actual murder, it's quite disturbing to see so many seizing on the fact that she had a penchant for promiscuous sex to use as proof that she's capable of murder. Liking wild sex has absolutely no bearing on one's capacity for homicide. There's a strong odor of witch-hunt associated with this case that I'm very concerned about.
