Thanks for your summary.
The only place I differ from you is the cartwheel part. This behavior strikes me as genuinely insensitive and disrespectful but being disrespectful and insensitive doesn't make one a murderer.
I'd like to believe that the prosecution has a case but for the life of me, I can't see one.
One thing that struck me as weird is that Kercher's family was 'pleased' with the verdict - do they really think that Knox and Sollecito took part in the murder? Why do they think that way? I'd like to know. Surely, the Kercher family must be reasonable people - so why are they pleased with the verdict?
The horrifying prospect is: do they know something I don't? If so, I must search for it and learn it... :-(
In response to the cartwheel part - here's a possible explanation. It's from a pretty clearly biased source, but it does sound reasonable. http://perugia-shock.blogspot.com/2009/03/amanda-knox-finally-admits.html
At the very least I doubt she was leaping around exuberantly and spontaenously.
From the link you give:
Thanks for this - one more mystery solved.
Why look for rationality in the desires of a typical bereaved family? Surely if they had their way, anyone associated with the event at all would be punished, so great is their loss.
