The issue of Rolling Stones Magazine that just hit the newsstands also has a pro-
Amanda Knox story.  I wonder why this is coming out now?  Many of our reliable channelers keep telling us there's lots going on behind the scenes.  I'm beginning to think we are seeing results of the behind the scenes work of the Light.

Amethyst

There are thousands of people in prisons all over the world who are completely innocent. The day will come when all darkness will be peeled back for good and the truth will then shine forever more for all the world to see.

In her prison diary, Amanda writes, "I know I am innocent. This is light enough. I may be in prison for a crime I didn't commit, but the truth is out there, and I wait day by day, for it to be discovered. … I am innocent and so I will be free. I will have freedom."

In another point of view, amanda has chosen a great path of mastery: to experience this weird situation: found guilty for something she did not commit. she is confronted with a lot of different inner movings: not to convict those who put her into jail, not to convict media, forgive them .... there is a lot that can be learned, that serves her consciousness, her evolution and her way back to our source. her insights will provide a path for others to follow.
so i send her part of my light to support her lesson she has chosen to experience and i bow deeply to her for this. this is a lesson for upcoming masters

More good news in this regard from todays message thru Jahn, Vienna.

(excerpt transl.)
The light from the Central Sun is becoming stronger.
This spiritual light transforms everything.
"Spiritual" because it belongs to the Ethereal World, and for most of you invisible. With each passing day the vibration of the planet is now changing, and what took weeks or months even years before is happening now in one night.
(…)
Basically this light affects all live and every human being. And it is almost impossible to escape from it.
Unaffected are only those, who are shortly before the “exodus”, and have decided to leave the planet.

Expert's Report Proves Forensics Expert Lied
July 6, 2011

The controversial murder case against Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito, in Perugia Italy, has now been completely demolished on appeal. Knox and Sollecito currently stand convicted of murdering Meredith Kercher in late 2007. Both have vehemently denied any involvement in the murder and now after nearly 4 years, it appears their voices will be heard.

Court appointed independent forensic experts, Stefano Conti and Carla Vecchiotti, from Rome's Sapienza University, released a scathing report detailing gross negligence on the part of lead forensic scientist, Patricia Stefanoni, regarding the key DNA evidence used to secure convictions in the first trial. The alleged murder weapon and a DNA laced bra clasp have been fully discredited leaving absolutely no credible evidence to confirm the convictions of Knox and Sollecito. The report will be presented to the court July 25, where it will be game over for the prosecution.

As an English translation of the report becomes available, it is clear that much of the blame belongs to Stefanoni, who lied repeatedly in court to benefit the prosecution. The independent experts cite an egregious violation committed by Stefanoni that clearly shows she had an agenda.

The worst of all revelations is Stefanoni's failure to objectively test DNA samples. The method she used centers in on a specific suspect, a practice that is forbidden by all international standards due to the fact that it leads to biased analysis.  Samples are to be analyzed individually and then the final results are compared to see if any produce a positive match. If one begins knowing what they are looking for already, they are likely to interpret the electropherogram to match the result they are trying to achieve. Conti and Vecchiotti explain as follows:

    "Statements about a profile obtained from a sample under examination, regarding the decision as to which is a true allele and which a 'drop-in', must necessarily be pronounced without knowledge of the suspect's profile; only in such a way, in fact, can a qualitatively unimpeachable and balanced approach to the interpretation of the profile emerging from the sample in question be guaranteed. An interpretation of the profile obtained from a sample, carried out with the suspect's reference profile available, indicates an imbalanced [approach], and is in total contrast with the absolutely objective nature of forensic science"

Stefanoni not only violated protocol, but also lied about it in court when she stated that she had adhered to proper procedure and analyzed all traces in an absolutely objective manner. Her boss, Dr. Renato Biondo, head of the DNA Unit at Polizia Scientifica, Rome, and consultant for the prosecution, needed positive results from Stefanoni and she was more than willing to fulfill the request.

This is not the first time Stefanoni has been dishonest with the court. Stefanoni claimed that stains detected at the crime scene using luminol (an investigative tool used to detect blood not visible to the human eye) were never tested for blood; however, in July 2009, when pressured by the defense, Stefanoni released information originally withheld confirming the stains were tested with tetramethylbenzidine, which is extremely sensitive for blood. All of the stains detected with luminol tested negative for blood. Stefanoni held this information from the court testifying instead that the stains were indeed blood. This is yet another example where Stefanoni created evidence to benefit the prosecution.

But Stefanoni’s lies do not end there. She also lied when she testified that she changed gloves every time she handled a new sample. However, Raffaele Sollecito’s defense used clear video and photographic evidence to show that Stefanoni used the same gloves multiple times.   

Patrizia Stefanoni is one of the prosecution's key pawns that contributed to the injustice committed against Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito and her actions should not go unpunished. The conclusions made by the independent experts are very clear and are expected to be accepted by the court that appointed them. An ongoing translation of the report can be viewed here:

http://knoxdnareport.wordpress.com/

With the latest findings, Judge Claudio Pratillo Hellmann should move for a rapid conclusion to the appeal, fully exonerating Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito, in compliance with Italian law. Perugia will then be left with the job of cleaning up the mess by eliminating those who created it, as all responsible must be held accountable for causing irreparable damage to two innocent people.

Another proof that this case was never about justice.. but about hatred and vengeance:

Good article and a good overview of the case:



After four years in jail, is Amanda Knox about to walk free?

Friday, 23 September 2011

They have already spent nearly four years in jail, but in the next few days Amanda Knox and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito will learn whether they can go free, their innocence proven, or must serve out their sentences, 26 and 25 years respectively, for the murder of Knox's British flatmate, Meredith Kercher, who was stabbed at the flat the two women shared while studying in the Italian city of Perugia.

Today, prosecutors begin summing up in the couple's appeal against conviction; the verdict is expected within 10 days. Everything seems to be going Knox and Sollecito's way. Earlier this month, after two court-appointed forensic experts roundly discredited evidence which led to their conviction, Judge Claudio Pratillo Hellmann refused the prosecution's request to appoint new experts to examine it all over again. It was a dramatic turning point; even one of the prosecutors admitted that the wind had changed.

Knox, originally from Seattle, told friends that she hoped she would be home for Thanksgiving in November. Her friends and relatives have a spring in their step. Her support groups is beginning to crow.

But the outcome of the appeal is still far from certain. It is being held in the city where they were found guilty, and where Public Minister Giuliano Mignini, the chief prosecutor and the driving force behind their prosecution, continues to wield great moral and judicial power, despite being convicted of abuse of office and given a suspended jail sentence in an unrelated case in Florence.

The fate of the Knox and Sollecito rests in the hands of jurors in a profoundly conservative town, whose dubious view of the foreigners flocking to what the Italian press called "the Ibiza of foreign studies" seemed well represented by the cattolicissimo (very devout) Mr Mignini. And the prosecutor's nightmarish description of what happened the night after Hallowe'en in Via della Pergola remains welded to the case, for all the defence's efforts to dispel it.

Mr Mignini told the court in the first trial that Ms Kercher was killed at the culmination of a satanic rite. The murder was premeditated, "celebrated on the occasion of the night of Hallowe'en, a sexual and sacrificial rite", the Italian paper Il Tempo reported him as saying. The killers, he added, "contented themselves with the evening of 1 November to perform their do-it-yourself rite, when for some hours it would again be the night of All Saints".

Ms Kercher, he explained, was on her knees in front of a wardrobe, Rudy Guede (the third person blamed for the murder and convicted at an earlier trial) held her immobile and Sollecito grasped one of her arms while Knox wielded the knife. The picture of what transpired was so clear, Mr Mignini told the judge, that "the only thing missing was a video camera".

The ghastly tableau conjured by Mr Mignini has clung to the case, and to Knox in particular, ever since. Yet he presented no evidence to support this macabre vision: no confessions, no witness accounts, no personal history of the involvement of any of the accused in such activities, above all no trace of the presence of Knox and Sollecito in the room.

All Mr Mignini possessed were the ravings of a person, well known to him, called Gabriella Carlizzi, a spiritualist blogger in Rome whose messages from "the other side" had decisively influenced a previous investigation he led. Ms Carlizzi alone claimed that both Knox and Ms Kercher, from Coulsdon, Surrey, may have belonged to a deviant Masonic sect, the Order of the Red Rose, whose rites involved human sacrifice. Again, there was no evidence of any sort for the outlandish claim.

The only forensic evidence against Knox was a knife which the prosecution claimed was the murder weapon – but it is this, along with the clasp of Ms Kercher's bra on which, it is alleged, there were traces of Sollecito's DNA, that has been the prosecution's undoing during the appeal.

This alleged murder weapon was found not at the crime scene but in the kitchen of Sollecito's flat, two weeks later. Knox's fingerprints were on the handle – not surprising as she had used it to prepare food – while Ms Kercher's DNA had been extracted, it was claimed, from minute traces on the blade. One of the unintentionally humorous moments of the first trial was when the police witness was asked how he had picked out that particular knife from several in Sollecito's kitchen. "Investigative intuition," he declared.

But now that "investigative intuition" looks as if it may be the undoing of Mr Mignini's theorem: the court-appointed forensic expert told the appeal that the trace of DNA was so weak it could be anyone's. Equal doubt surrounds the DNA alleged to belong to Sollecito and found on Ms Kercher's bra clasp, and which was not retrieved from the crime scene until 47 days after the murder.

The immediate risk for Knox and Sollecito is that the jury will discount the baffling scientific arguments of recent months and take refuge instead in the horrible yet somehow persuasive visions Mr Mignini evoked during the first trial – as well as in the lavish media coverage that preceded it – with his depiction of decadent, atheistic foreigners getting up to sinful madness while under the influence of drugs.

On the other hand, the jury may resist that temptation, overturn the convictions and set Knox and Sollecito free. In that case, however, the pair will face a different problem. If they are set free, many people in Italy, Britain and the US who have followed the case with only half their attention are likely to conclude that these two ex-students, both of them white, expensively educated and hailing from comfortable homes, have got off on a technicality; that they have finally succeeded in using their numerous advantages to twist the system their way.

Meanwhile, the only obvious victim-figure in the case, the drifter and petty drug dealer Rudy Guede, originally from Ivory Coast, languishes in jail, serving his term.

This is a tempting way to see the case, but it deserves to be laid to rest.

Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito were jailed on suspicion of murder on 6 November 2007 after Knox, in an interrogation session that lasted all night, admitted being in the flat at the time of Ms Kercher's death (though she denied witnessing or having any involvement in the murder). She retracted the admission soon afterwards, claiming it had been bullied out of her by police, who had threatened and slapped her. The only evidence against her and Sollecito was the now-discredited DNA on the knife and bra clasp.

Yet Ms Kercher's room, where her corpse was found, was full of evidence, including bloody fingerprints, boot prints and DNA, all pointing unambiguously to Guede, the only one of the accused who has all along admitted to being in the flat during the murder.

That was the glaring anomaly in the prosecution's case from the outset. "If there are four people in a room and there is a big struggle and one person gets stabbed in the neck," said Lisa Lazuli, one of Knox's British supporters, "common sense tells me that there is going to be an enormous amount of blood and an enormous transfer of DNA, and it shouldn't be very difficult to tie those people to the scene."

The discrediting of the evidence of the knife and the bra clasp cuts the only thread linking Knox and Sollecito to the crime scene; there are no longer any grounds for believing they were involved. Yet, for the family of Meredith Kercher, the demise of the absurd "satanic rite" story leaves them in limbo. What was the sequence of events that night? Why did their innocent daughter have to die? For them, the anguish of uncertainty goes on.

"If the two judges and six lay people who form the jury of eight in the appellate trial base their decision on the evidence before the court and on common sense, then there decision can only be that the two are innocent."

Agreed.

As with so many of these railroaded court cases, this woman has lost 4 years of her life, time which she can never get back. I believe that she will be vindicated and go on to live her life and tell her story and make a difference in the world. Amanda means 'beloved'.

Amanda Knox begs judges to 'do justice' in emotional final plea



In a speech delivered in near-perfect Italian, Knox asks judges to clear her and Raffaele Sollecito of Meredith Kercher's murder

Though she almost broke down completely at the start, and her delivery was even more charged with tension than at her trial, Knox's words were clearer and simpler than then.

Crucially, she flatly denied the key prosecution accusation: that she killed Kercher, her British flatmate.

Standing in a packed but hushed courtroom, her hands raised with her fingertips touching, almost as if in prayer, the 24-year-old said: "I am not what they say [I am]. And I did not do the things they said I did. I didn't kill. I didn't rape. I didn't rob."

Knox's sister, Deanna, wept – as did one of the young American's lawyers, Maria del Grosso.

Dressed in a green shirt, black hooded jacket, black trousers and boots, the University of Washington student – who is serving a 26-year sentence for the murder – said she had good relations with all her three flatmates, even if she was a bit untidy and inattentive.

"I lived my life above all with Meredith. She was my friend. She was always kind to me," she said.

Kercher's death had made her frightened and disbelieving, she said; the person "who had the bedroom next to me was killed. And if I had been there that evening, I would be dead. Like her. The only difference is that I was not there. I was with Raffaele."

Her appeal took a dramatic turn in June when two independent, court-appointed experts dismissed the key forensic evidence against the appellants.

Quite the most damaging remaining evidence is a statement Knox gave to police on the morning of 6 November 2007, at the end of an all-night interrogation, in which she put herself in the house at the time of the murder. In the statement, which she subsequently retracted, she also claimed the murderer was Diya "Patrick" Lumumba, her employer at a local bar, who was later shown to be innocent.

Knox entreated the two professional and six lay judges to take into account the way she was at the time: "I had never suffered. I did not know tragedy. I didn't know how to deal with it." Her only experience of tragedy was through the television, she said.

Her mistake had been to put her faith in the police. "I trusted them blindly, and when I made myself available, to the point of exhaustion in those days, I was betrayed," Knox said. "On the night of 5-6 November, I wasn't just stressed and pressurised, I was manipulated."

Earlier, her former boyfriend had made a stumbling, but nevertheless moving, appeal for his own freedom.

"I've never done anyone any harm. Never. In my whole life," Sollecito told the court. He said he had thought the accusation would somehow evaporate.

"Instead of which, it's not been like that. I've had to put up with, go on in, a nightmare," he said.

He had spent more than 1,400 days in prison during which, like Knox, he had been confined "for almost 20 hours [a day] in a space measuring two-and-a-half metres by three".

He ended by asking to give the judges a bracelet, inscribed with the words "Free Amanda and Raffaele", which he said he had not taken off since the day it was given to him, and which had yellowed with age in the meantime.

It was, he said, "a concentrate of various emotions: desire for justice, and the effort, the path we have followed in this dark tunnel towards a light that seemed ever further away".
