Machiavelli,
Anglo's point about the destruction of the clasp is well taken, and the destruction itself should have a strongly negative impact on Stefanoni's credibility. I am not sure how many times I have to say that the strength of the DNA profile in RFU cannot be used to draw inferences. For one thing, there is no way to standardize how much biological material is collected. The difference between Rudy vs. Raffaele and Amanda is that he had never been to the flat; therefore, there are no innocent explanations for his DNA. With respect to Amanda's DNA there are many, and we also know that Raffaele (although he did not live there) did do things that would be expected to deposit DNA (Nencini's discussion of the cigarette butt is embarrassingly stupid in this regard). The mixed traces in the bathroom are the result of two factors, cohabitation and bad collection procedures by the FP. The evidence from Filomena's bedroom is compromised by the foot traffic that occurred in the intervening weeks. I have no idea what "unjustified Knox blood" means.
.... this is not to mention that Filomena herself was in her own room at least twice following the murder.... once she was allowed to "rummaged" through her room pre-discovery of Meredith to see if anything was missing in a suspected theft, but then (incredibly) she went into her room after the discovery to retrieve her laptop.
The pro-guilt lobby assume sterile conditions for Scientific Police to waltz in, meaning that what they discover must have been the result of the muder.
