Review, cont.
The movie depicts how Knox, 23, was subjected to a gruelling all-night interrogation by police in which, exhausted and terrified in a foreign country, she eventually implicated a Congolese bar owner as the assassin — despite the fact that he was later found to be entirely innocent.
Flashback scenes are used to explore the various accounts given by the protagonists, including one which faithfully recreates evidence given to police by Rudy Guede, the third person accused of the murder.
In scenes which will be profoundly disturbing to the family of Kercher, he is shown rushing into the Leeds University student’s bedroom after hearing a piercing scream, to find her convulsing on the floor, her throat cut and blood pouring out of the wound.
Like Knox and Kercher, Guede always protested his innocence, but was found guilty of murder and sexual assault by a Perugia court and condemned to 30 years in prison — a sentence later reduced to 16 years on appeal.
...but unlike Knox and her boyfriend (Kercher was the young lady raped and murdered) only Guede's semen was found within the body of Kercher as well as his own bloody handprints on her back and the pillow under her body.......
