Mez: In A Moving Light -

Meredith Kercher Murder Case -

Amanda Knox's family appeared
on Oprah's TV show Tuesday afternoon.

Advocating on her behalf: her biological parents,
her siblings, and an American criminal defense lawyer.

Curt Knox kicked off the session by claiming that there was nothing of hers in the room, meaning that there was nothing of his daughter's found within Meredith Kercher's bedroom.

Although I have been relying on secondhand sources and reading some material from translation, it is my understanding that Amanda Knox's desk lamp was found by the police within Meredith Kercher's locked bedroom.

Couldn't Rudy Guede have put it there? That's not very likely because the murder took place in the dark of night and Guede had no way of knowing that there was a small desk lamp in Amanda Knox's bedroom. Unless he came equipped with special night vision goggles, he would not be able to see the lamp in Knox's dark bedroom.

Did this issue come up during the trial proceedings? I believe the desk lamp did come up. When Prosecution confronted Knox about her desk lamp, it appeared that Knox tried to disown it.

Could she succeed in accomplishing that? Probably not, because it was not Amanda who originally leased the cottage on Pergola St.

It was one or both of the Italian gals who leased the cottage from a rental agent or the representative of the owner. And since their name(s) were on the lease, they were largely responsible for the furnishings which were included in the rental agreement for the cottage.

Laura and/or Filomena would take careful inventory of which furnishings were being supplied in each bedroom. Thus, they would know that the desk lamp which was usually in Amanda's bedroom was missing and not in its normal location. Instead, it was found by the police in Meredith's locked bedroom. And the Italian housemates would be able to identify it.

We are currently awaiting the Italian court's written treatise on the case, expected in early March, which will include elaborate explanations. The Devil is often in the details, as illustrated in the issue of Amanda Knox's desk lamp.

Sorry for the delay in reporting this event, but
I've been dodging inclement weather around here lately.
