...advanced her cause by making clear what police had not previously conceded - that Knox thought she was being a helpful witness when in fact police were targeting her as a suspect and should have told her so. Under questioning from her own lawyer, Knox said she never thought to call the American embassy or a lawyer, even after being called in for a fourth day of questions. Knox said she only realized she was a murder suspect when she was brought before a judge after she had put herself at the murder scene, coaxed into what she thought...
