It’s arguably the biggest murder case since OJ Simpson, similarly dividing opinions and beliefs from different people around the world.

The baby faced Amanda Knox who first appeared on our television screens over four years ago is now an entirely different woman. The confident and playful student who once toyed with the media is now a matured adult.

Whether or not you believe Amanda Know is innocent or guilty, there simply was not sufficient evidence to convict her of the gruesome murder of Meredith Kutcher. The behaviour by Knox at the beginning of her first trial over four years ago did not do her any favours.

She resembled a student high on life that had been thrown into the spotlight and given plenty of attention in a situation she thought she would overcome. Over four years later and she has just overcome it.

When the dust settled and her prison cell door was closed, Amanda Knox knew the full extent of the seriousness of her situation. She spent four long years behind bars for a crime that is now evident she did not commit.

The evidence and the behaviour of the Italian police and prosecution are smeared with conspiracy and cover ups. The simple matter of the fact is that there is a man in jail serving time for the murder of Meredith Kutcher.

Rudy Guede was found guilty of the terrible murder of Meredith and has been sentenced to jail. His DNA was found in Meredith’s apartment, he admitted to having sex with her and he fled Italy to Germany the day after she was murdered.

The involvement of Amanda Knox in this case has taken the attention away from the fact that this man is the one who is responsible for the murder of the innocent Meredith Kutcher.

Giuliano Mignini, Amanda Knox’s prosecutor, has vowed to appeal the overturn of Knox’s conviction. This is a man who may soon find himself behind bars as he is currently under investigation for prosecutorial misconduct in a previous case.

In any other country in the world, this man would not have been allowed to step foot inside a court room bar attending his own hearing.Mignini had a personal vendetta against Knox and his actions and dealing with authorities within this case should also come under investigation.
