Let’s face it; Knox was railroaded because of Anti-American sentiment in Europe. These latest revelations don’t say much for the Italian justice system.

AMANDA Knox moved a step closer to freedom yesterday - after a court heard how bungling cops investigating the case made 54 mistakes.
Knox, serving 26 years for the brutal slaying of British student Meredith Kercher, laughed along with others in court as the catalogue of blunders was read out.
DNA evidence found on a kitchen knife and a bra clasp were key to convicting Knox and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, 26, of Meredith's murder.
But two independent professors gave the appeal hearing in Perugia, Italy, a damning 144-page report on the forensic teams.
There were gasps of disbelief as the court was shown video footage of two cops picking up the clasp, passing it from hand to hand, dropping it, picking it up again and placing it on the floor.
One cop wore grubby gloves and officers put the clasp into a paper bag rather than a plastic one, which the experts said added a "significant" contamination risk. The clasp had been kept in such poor condition it had gone rusty, making further testing impossible.
