...Knox's then boyfriend and fellow accused Rafaelle Sollecito. That knife has Knox's DNA on the handle and what some forensic scientists say is Kercher's DNA on the tip. But Bremner dismisses the idea that it is the knife that killed Kercher: "They never found the murder weapon." Bremner claims that a bloody print on the bed linens conveys the shape of the actual murder weapon and that the knife in question "doesn't match an outline of the knife on the bed."

Knox also said she was acquainted with Rudy Guede - an alleged accomplice already convicted of the rape and murder of Kercher at a so-called "fast-track" trial - but that she didn't remember his name. She learned of his arrest on television after she had been in jail for several weeks, at which point she thought she would be released. Instead, the local prosecutor, using forensic evidence and Knox's statements, persuaded a judge to try her and Sollecito for murder as well...
