The hair found in Meredith's hand matched Guedes. That was mentioned a while back already.
What I am confussed now is how come they dont mention the finger print of Knox on Merediths face (suggesting Knox held Meredith down) anymore, now its all about the DNA on the knife and the blood in the bathroom, that's already some evidence.... besides all the lies and the camera footage.
Also all this talk about confession last week in jail and now about forgivness... ummm what she got to confess and what do we need to forgive her for!!??

Gi, Venice, Italy

It was Halloween celebrating. The drug dealer co-defendant was in to a self proclaimed vampire lifestyle. Come on people. Are all of the press reports going to ignore the obvious? Billy

Billy Wingard, New Bern, NC

My gosh! Lest we forget that she is on trial for murder AND sexual assault! Rather than play on the most important aspect of this affair, which is bringing justice for Meredith's death, this is turning into victimisation of the suspect.

Who cares how she feels in jail, guilty or not guilty.

Victoria, London,

It seems to be impossible to find the truth, everybody chanced their version several times..and Rudy, the new entry, why was in Germany, after knowing what happened???
Please, if i see a murder i'll call immediatly police.But if i'm guilty...

Danila, Genova, Italy

emma - Yes, who's hair was in Meredith's hands? I had forgotten about that piece of evidence.

And what happened to those 5th and 6th male and female suspects. Just poof- no more? Was that all just a media fabrication? Or are the Italian investigators/police/leaks purposely ignoring it now?

Although I have been reading all the tabloid junkie leaks, I think it is all deplorable. Come on! All of their letters and investigative reports, photos and everything leaked all over the media?!

Claire, San Francisco, CA

If Mez door had to be knocked down becouse was locked from the inside, whoever locked the door must have gone out from the window ! Knox says she likes climbing bare hands, and Rudy story does not account for the locked door.
I hope the police knows more than what they tell us.

Gio, London, UK

Don't worry Ellen.
The Italian justice will judge her, indipendentrly from the faith she has in it.

Andrea, Rome, Italy

ellen, my idea is that people in general and media in particular are not bashing Rudy so much because, maybe, Amanda is an "easier" target in many ways.

Arf, Milano, Italia

To Maxine Green. It wasn't blood but DNA and not on a kitchen knife from Knox' own house, but on the one brought from Sollecito's house with no fingerprints on it. They (Knox and Sollecito) never explained this fact.

Anna, Warsaw,

How can Amanda praise her cellmates and call one as her second mother? she describes her stay in jail as if it is some advernture, she is some tough cookie!

SHERMINE, LONDON, ENGLAND

Her DNA would only show that she had been in the house at some point. It would not provide a time stamp, Shermine of London.

Nicole K, astoria ,

This is pathetic. Given the police leaks that have led to Ms. Knox's trial and conviction by the media and general public, I'm not sure I would have the faith in the Italian system she claims to have. What a mess they've created. Strange that no one is bashing this Rudy dude who splite after poor Meredith was killed (and I'm not terribly convinced his story has any credence whatsoever).

ellen, Austin, Texas, USA

Let truth be true!

Abraham, Chang chun, China

Was it ever reported which person the hair found belonged to (that found in Meredith's hand)?

emma, Birmingham, UK

While her conflicting accounts do seem rather dodgy, I don't see why it is incriminating to find her DNA in her home and on a kitchen knife that I assume was used by several people sharing that house.

Andrew, Paris,

I am a little confused as to all the fuss about Amanda Knox's DNA being present in the flat she shared with her friend. Personally I'd be suspicious if her DNA _wasn't_ present in her own flat.

They found Miss Knox's blood on a kitchen knife from her own house? Come on now, who hasn't ever cut themselves in their own kitchen - it could have been there for months.
The media and the general public seem to think the letters DNA stand for 'guilty' (as opposed to DeoxyriboNucleic Acid - the stuff that we're all made of)!

Maxine Green, London, England

Wow, separate bathroom and kitchen in a jail cell? How comfie! No wonder she's feeling serene. She can sip a nice cup of tea in her slippers after privately using the bathroom.

Teri, San Francisco, US

I hope Ms. Knox has access to a psychiatrist and medication.
Christmas is a tough time to be in jail.

Alb, LA, USA

I am puzzled by this comment, which has occurred repeatedly in your reports of the Perugia murder. " Both Ms Knox and Mr Sollecito can be held for up to a year before charges are brought". If Italy is also in the EU, why are we in the UK having such a problem about whether to hold suspects, especially terror suspects, for 28/30 days ?

Alan Bailey, Warrington, Cheshire

Don't they all "Come to Jesus" while in prison? And please do stay in Perugia if you're ever released. We have enough psychos as it is, although i doubt the good people of Italy want you either.

Jeff, North Carolina, USA

Jeffrey Kerr, Greensboro, NC, USA

The only reason she could possibly be concerned with the Catholic concept of forgiveness is if she feels she needs to be forgiven for something. That is so obvious.

Ro, Cheltenham,

Dear god, it looks like the McCann opera all over again. could we have daily postings on what she has for breakfast? While the bird sings in the gilded cage, it seems that a murdered woman is forgotten altogether in this celebrity drenched psuedo reporting.
J Barter

John Barter, Padova, Italiaò

I wonder why the judge doesn't issue gag order to all the paries involved. All the speculations and character-bashings will be no way helping anyone who wants justice. At this point, anything Ms. Knox says or did or will do, or ANYTHING people take it as a sign of being guilty. Hey I did not get along well with my roommate. I buy lingerie. I joke around with my boyfriend in public. I don't do drugs, but I'm sure many college kids in U.S. have done that one way or another. I think it is totally unfair that the media and public accuses her of the capital crime when she has not been even tried and again, when she may never get a fair trial.

Keiko Stumbp, Pocatello, Idaho

The reports offer another contradiction: The killers cleaned the house so well that only a single fingerprint of Amanda Knox's was found in the Kitchen. But the blood stain they claim they found of Amanda's was so obvious to the eye on the faucet that the prosecutor says it would have to have been a new stain as it would have been cleaned before by anyone cleaning. Doh! Total contradiction!

angus, London, UK

Feels serene in jail. Good, because she may wind up in jail
for a long long time if found guilty.

Jerry Scroggin, Phoenix, Arizona/USA

It seems illogical to claim that a video image can be clear at 8:43PM at night from across the parking garage, and at the same time say it's clear because of the light-colored clothing, and that other people might not be seen if they were wearing dark-colored clothing. Does light-colored clothing accurately identify a person? If these video images are so clear and able to see people entering the house, where are the images of Meredith, and Rudy, and other possible suspects entering the house?

It seems from other articles that Amanda does not know the nature of the claimed video evidence, just that they have some evidence.

Claire, San Francisco, CA

"MEREDITH MAY HAVE HAD DINNER WITH HER ATTACKER"

More pointless media speculation I see. Meredith may have co-signed a boat loan with Saddam Hussein, she may have played drums for Elvis or even been quoted on the stock market but it's not very liely is it.
Why can't the media just report the straight facts an nothing else? Haven't we seen enough pointless blather regarding what Maddie's (insert players name here) may or may not have done/ not done?

Ethan, UK nr Dole Farm, UK

What about her DNA, this is sufficient proof that she was around at the night of the murder! I would be very disappointed if she is set free!

SHERMINE, LONDON, ENGLAND

How touching that Ms Knox should have rediscovered religion during her incarceration. She has shown herself to have been totally incoherent and inconsistent with her various versions of the events which resulted in such tragic consequences. Hopefully, this will not prevent her from receiving the "fair trial" to which she should be entitled.

Peter Koeb, Geneva, Switzerland

Whether Ms. Knox is guilty or not I don't think she should be tried by the media and the public before she goes to trial. Everyone is speculating on hearsay and speculation and not actual facts. That should be left to judge and jury.

Vicki, Austin,

Is all that fuss made about Ms Knox only because she is a woman? In UK a woman is a kind of a sacred cow, can't be touched without comitting a sort of blasphemy, it seems.

simon, LONDON, UK

Whether Ms Knox is guilty or not, I don't think she should be tried by the media and the public before and if she goes to trial. Only the judge and jury can know the facts in the case and make a decision. We only know "hearsay" and can speculate, and I think that our constant talk and speculation only insures Ms Knox will not get a fair trial.

Vicki, Austin,

"Ms Knox, who at one stage of the investigation admitted she was at the cottage on the night Ms Kercher was sexually assaulted and killed, will revert to her original account at tomorrow's hearing and insist that she was not, her lawyers said"

Do they not have her captured on security camera entering the house at 9PM the night of the murder? The one that was able to capture her clearly because she was wearing light colored clothing?

Why have I not heard mention of this of late as she denies once again that she was at the house?
