guede's guilt. yet, two and a half weeks after amanda's trial ended, guede's sentence was reduced from 30 years to 16, leading some to ask, did he cut a deal? >> there's overwhelming dna evidence along with lots of other physical evidence that points to rudy guede. >> amanda's attorneys appealed the verdict and focused on challenging the dna evidence. >> when the appeals process began, it felt like they had another mountain to climb that right away you could tell that there was a very different tone, and, again, the key decision was whether or not they would allow an independent assessment of the forensic evidence. >> november 24th, 2010. 11 months after the guilty verdict, a second trial is granted. >> the defense presented a very compelling case, identifying rudy guede as the true killer, based on hard facts and motive. >> rudy guede came to the house. he broke in.
