Guede took off after the murder; his shoeprints in blood are found just outside the door, and in the kitchen leading to the entry door. He was seen a short time later in a club. The judge's rationale in writing in Guede's case was that Guede had no reason to come back and 'clean' anything or to stage a break-in.

There is half a bloody footprint found on the bathmat in the bathroom in the victim's blood, and no similar prints leading up to it, nor is there a similar print in the bedroom, though the blood was pretty smeared. This is what caused the police to do a luminol test.

The people who claim 100% guede did it, stop looking, can't really provide a clear sequence of events that cover the other evidence. Even this blogger looks only at the murder scene, and claims that since there isn't anything else in the room, stop looking.

If the footprint in on the bathroom mat is Guede's, why would he have taken his shoes off? Why would he have cleaned the other footprints? Why would he clean his footprints, but not the shoeprints leading out the door?

Luminol also revealed other prints (and according to my amateur look, lots of smearing) outside of knox's and the victim's door.

The dna of the victim & knox was found in the bedroom that had the purported break-in. The argument is this puts knox in this bedroom after the murder, but that's not a part of any of her stories. And its hard to accept the argument that knox's DNA is in such abundance such that it would be found mixed with the victims in the other bedroom, and at the same time put forth the contradictory argument that the lack of knox's DNA in the victim's room proves her innocent.

Others have made the argument that the height of the bedroom window, combine with the glass only partially broken, would have made it a highly improbable and dangerous option for someone to reach in and open the window that way. It was a single pane of glass apparently that only the bottom 1/3 was out; someone reaching in, it is argued, risked the rest of the glass crashing down on them guillotine style.

I see the primary argument put forth by the blogger here similar to the "No DNA" cry from the FOA; break it down into bits then attack a single part. Looking at anything like that, you can rationally justify just about anything.

Don't get me wrong- I recognize there are valid issues with the DNA found on the knife. The UK has established some procedures for acceptable LCN DNA testing; from all public reports the italian lab didn't follow these. A geneticist legal adviser in Australia wrote essentially an intro to LCN DNA testing sheet, which supports the questioning of the LCN DNA test; essentially if procedures similar to what the UK has outlined aren't followed, then how appropriate is it to rely on the LCN DNA test?

I also think that a dichotomy pervades these arguments; complete innocence, or every single one of them is so guilty they all had their hand on the knife the whole time. There are a number of scenarios of complicity that put Sollecito or Knox at the scene. The ruling of the jury in Italy essentially states that they believe that Knox and Sollecito are complicit in the crime.
