Appeal

Knox and Sollecito fought the case on appeal. After four years in jail to stay, they were acquitted for lack of evidence and remained Rudy Guede as the only guilty about. The defense had succeeded in gaps in the forensic investigation to uncover. It found DNA material that was decisive during the trial in 2009, turned out to be unusable.

On a 30 inch long kitchen knife that was found in the kitchen of Sollecito, DNA traces were found of Knox on the handle and Kercher on the blade. But the amount of DNA from Meredith on the blade was so low that it was evidence. In addition, the bloodied bra clasp of Meredith found DNA from Sollecito. But this was contaminated because police carelessly proceeded during the investigation, as they include dirty gloves.
