A defense lawyer for Amanda Knox — accused in Italy of killing her roommate — on Tuesday said the prosecution’s theory doesn’t fit the facts of the case and there is not sufficient evidence to find her guilty.
Calling Knox a victim herself, Carlo della Vedova portrayed the Seattle, Washington, native as someone who fell victim to a rush to judgment by police following the murder, and who had to fend off a myriad of false media reports regarding the crime.
Police declared “case closed” after an investigator saw Knox and her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito sharing a “flirtatious gesture” at the crime scene.
And in the months following the murder, della Vedova argued a slew of leaks to the media made things even worse.
The lawyer showed photos of the crime scene that were published in the media that weren’t authentic — including a photo of the bathroom — and said false allegations and rumors about Knox’s character created a bias from the get-go.
