An Italian prosecutor told the country’s top court Wednesday
that Amanda Knox’s conviction for the
sensational murder of British student Meredith Kercher was “beyond reproach.”……Pinellii told
the court that “all the figures in this crie fit into a perfect reconstruction
which has no flaws. “The scenario outlined by the Florence judges is beyond
approach,” he added.Knox’s defence lawyer Carlo Dalla Vedova said the
prosecution’s version of the events was “not justice but a misrepresentation of
the facts.” The Florence court’s verdict was “a very serious miscarriage of justice which must be put
right,” he said. Sollecito’s lawyer will also
get a chance to respond on Friday, beforwe the court retires to consider its
verdict. The ruling – which could spark a request for Knox’s extradition from
the United States – had initially been expected by the end of Wednesday. But with a massive international media presence forcing a
change of rooms for the hearing. Wednesday’s proceedings ran on so long that
court president Gennaro Marasca
said another session would be necessary.
