Still, the Friends of Amanda freelance efforts seem to have had little effect on Judge Micheli. During his fast-track trial, Guede never denied having sex with Kercher or being at the crime scene the night she died, and he testified that Knox was there, too. He also said that an Italian man wearing glasses who looked like Sollecito was also present, though he couldn't positively identify him. Prosecutors allege that a kitchen knife found in Sollecito's apartment is the murder weapon—it has Knox's DNA on the handle and what could be Kercher's in a groove on the blade. And Sollecito's DNA was found on the clasp of the bra that Kercher was wearing when she was murdered. The bra was cut from her body after her death. Defense teams for both Knox and Sollecito blame cross-contamination for these incriminating pieces of evidence.

With Guede already convicted for his part in the bizarre sex murder, one-third of the mystery has been solved. Defense teams for Knox and Sollecito face a formidable challenge in trying to make sure their clients don't complete the puzzle.

There are two excellent pro-evidence, pro-victim websites about the Meredith Kercher case:

Agreed, this article could be about cute, fuzzy kittens and puppies, and we'd still have to hear this crap. It wouldn't suck as bad if they didn't try to write a novel.

This is going to another agonizing, polarizing, dragged-out fight that's going to make a lot of people more angry and bitter than they were...I wish that these kinds of cases could be settled quietly and quickly instead of drawing out the agony. People spend as many years of their lives in trial sometimes as they do incarcerated if convicted.
