I initially voted up to counter what seemed like an unfair response by others (I know, you don't care about karma).

Did you read the comments at The Amanda Knox Test? You linked to it. Much of what you present as if it were uncontroversial fact is effectively rebutted there.

This certainly should have been limited to a comment in the existing post.

<strike>That said, I agree that komponisto tipped his hand in telling us what he thought the relevant facts were; it was easy to predict that he believed Knox to be innocent.</strike>

Edit: apparently komponisto didn't post those facts until his second post, where he made his view explicit. Mea culpa.

I did not have any idea what komponisto thought of the matter until I started reading the Wikipedia article. After that it was pretty obvious why komponisto selected the case.
