one of the main problems the prosecutor had in upholding the conviction, what was the motive? the prosecution claimed some sex gone wild but there was no evidence of that. no evidence and don t forget, we can never forget, they were roommates and even that forensics was there, on the brush, the bra, all of that could be explained away by they re roommates and of course they re together. even if they put her in that place at the time, there was no proof at trial that she had anything to do with it and i don t see how at that gets better with time. megyn: but the bra clasp on which raphael s dna was supposed to be found, mark, didn t turn up until magically six weeks after the murder. and they scoured the crime scene, you tell me as a guy investigating the homicide scene, that s automatically suspect it doesn t show up until six weeks later? well, it is, but you know, you can articulate that, too, that you actually went back with more thorough search or an interrogation statement,
this is an american citizen. and well, i would agree with all of that, megyn, i don t think we have to give the italian legal system or the police any respect that they re not due. they did not release enough information to the media, but i think the media s exactly why this prosecutor is going after amanda knox. i think he s embarrassed. i think he s doing everything he can to get it back to where he is at least partially correct. but you know, legally, she is innocent. factually, i think she was a participant, whether afraid, threatened, or she just went along with the crowd to make up a story. somebody staged that crime scene and that might have compromised the crime scene investigation and the interrogation, but we don t have that evidence and we don t have those interrogations to actually look at it. megyn: there is a guy sitting in jail for the murder, lis. wound up pointing at amanda knox and raphael as accomplices and rejected by are the court who threw out the conviction.
personally called to cancel his newspaper delivery in argentina which produced tears we re told in the newspaper delivery man on the other end of the line. and fox news alert, any moment now, italy s highest court could decide whether american amanda knox will go on trial for murder again. ms. knox and her boyfriend raphael were arrested in italy in 2007, accused of murdering knox s roommate marilyn kircher. her body was found in the bedroom where they lived, she and knox. knox s appeal was successful and had conviction overturned after spending four years in prison the murder charge. but italian law allows prosecutors to appeal acquittal and they want another bite at the apple. and lis wiehl, fox news analyst and mark fuhrman a
claimed that meredith s bra clasp had the dna of raphael on it and turned out to be questionable. they threw that stuff out and the prosecutor is arguing so you throw that out, you don t throw out the whole case. well, i would probably agree with the italian prosecutor and we don t know the competence or incompetence of the crime scene investigation or the forensics, but with what we do know and for me, there s one thing that is so overwhelming is, amanda knox actually participated or created a staged crime scene and she actually pushed that story forward and the only reason somebody does that is knowledge or participation, either before, during, or after the homicide. so she is culpable in some regards for me, regardless of the dna. megyn: she told some different stories in the the beginning, lis, but people have to understand the italian justice system is is not the american justice system.
