Bulletin: Amanda Knox: Daily Mail reports that the judge who threw out the murder convictions has condemned the new guilty verdict - and says the verdict reads more like a movie script than evidence;

STORY: "Italian judge who threw out murder convictions against Amanda Knox condemns new guilty verdict, saying it reads more like a movie script than evidence," by reporter Sophie Jane Evans, published by the Daily Mail on May 1, 2014:

SUB-HEADINGS: Judge Claudio Hellmann has condemned report by Italian appeals court; Document claims Amanda Knox delivered fatal blow to Meredith Kercher.  It also alleges the pair fought over rent money on the night of the murder. But Judge Hellmann has dismissed 337-page report as 'result of fantasy.  The Florence Appeal Court has written a script for a movie,' he declares. He claims there is no evidence to condemn 26-year-old for 2007 murder.    On Tuesday, Knox herself described document as unsupported by logic. Judge Hellmann threw out initial murder conviction against Knox in 2011."

GIST: "The judge, who has now retired, told CNN: 'The Florence Appeal Court has written a script for a movie or a thriller book while it should have only considered facts and evidence.' He said there was no evidence to condemn Knox and Sollecito, who were convicted of Ms Kercher's murder in 2009 and sentenced to 28 and 25 years in prison respectively.........But he added that he believed the High Court may be forced to oblige with the appeals court's ruling for fear of openly opposing their colleagues."
