Rudy Guede's lawyer upset by US FBI agent's conclusions

In recent weeks, a retired US FBI agent with more than 25 years of service became interested in the Amanda Knox case. At first, Stephen Moore presumed like others that the legal system had done its job and if the young people had been convicted of the murder, they must be guilty as charged. However, after delving into the case and examining the evidence at length he was increasingly shocked at how little real evidence there was to tie Amanda, and her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito to the murder - moreover, he declared, it was not simply a lack of evidence that they had committed the crime, but the evidence proved they could NOT have committed it. He felt that such an injustice to these young people had been committed, he must come forward and point out these discrepancies, and at one point even suggested what evidence there was had been manipulated to make Amanda and Raffaele look guilty.

Walter Biscotti, deeply offended by Moore's remarks, is the lead lawyer for Rudy Guede - the third person convicted in the murder of Meredith Kercher. Guede was the only person whose DNA, bloody handprints, fingerprints and footprints were all over the murder room and no such evidence for Amanda, Raffaele, or any other person could be found in the tiny room filled with so much blood it was an irrefutable impossibility that anyone could have been in there during the crime without leaving such evidence behind. In defense of Perugia's legal system, Biscotti pointed out that if you were in Italy and suggested investigators had manipulated evidence, you would be arrested in a minute . That may be true, but it still does not in any way prove there is no possibility that the Perugia legal system is incapable of making mistakes, or that is automatically a fact that every official working in that legal system is utterly incapable of error, deliberate or otherwise.

Biscotti successfully managed to get his client's sentence reduced from 30 years to only 16 years, despite the fact that Guede's DNA, bloody handprints, footprints etc were the only evidence left in the room with the murder victim and he has not been able to provide a satisfactory explanation for this. Nor have Guede's various versions of what occurred and how he came to be in the murder room at the time of Meredith's death without having committed the crime been either consistent or logical.
