Amanda Knox Trial: DNA Dispute Raises Hope for Freedom ...

Hope started to grow for Knox in her appeal after a panel of forensic experts issued a report that deemed key DNA evidence to be contaminated and poorly handled, saying it should have been presented in court. Manuela Comodi, a prosecutor in the case, told ABC news that the work carried out by the forensic panel was ?inadequate, unreliable and flawed,? saying they were incapable of carrying out the duty they were assigned and asked the court to order more sophisticated tests on the DNA by different experts, but was rebuffed. The court found the request to be superfluous, but the prosecutor didn?t dismiss the possibility that Knox could still win the appeal. ?We did our job. I am convinced by what I have said. I am fully convinced of their guilt and I would find it very serious if they were set free,? she told ABC news. Meanwhile, a prosecutor against Knox?s murder conviction urged the jurors in the appeals case to put themselves in the shoes of the parents of the murder victim, as the case entered its final phase, according to CNN. Italian prosecutors, however, argued on Friday that Knox should be kept in prison and displayed a series of bloody crime scene photos, including close-ups of Kercher?s wounds, ABC news reported. A verdict is expected by early next month. If acquitted, both Knox and her ex-boyfriend would be freed immediately, said Carlo Fiorio, a professor of criminal procedure at the University of Perugia. They could also have their sentences confirmed, shortened or lengthened, he told Reuters.
