I think we should remember the context of the words between Amanda and her lawyer. Nearly everyone was extremely surprised that they were definitively aquitted at that time and were overjoyed. Thus it was not spin Amanda was writing but a genuine reflection about how the verdicts were interpreted at the time, and which have not changed in any mainstream Italian website that I have seen: that they are definitively aquitted because they did not commit the act, which were the words used before the motivation report came out. I quote below The Guardian, and then an Italian source, which I got from IIP. Also There is a link to NBC which had an interview with Amanda's lawyer. I think the reason why para 1 and para 2 are not discussed much is because it is essentially irrelevant.
The judges reached their decision after 10 hours of deliberations. The presiding judge, Gennaro Marasca, read the decision – repeating the word “annulled” several times. Initially, the tense assembly of lawyers and journalists, including many who are not native Italian speakers, fell silent.
Then there was a burst of activity as many went racing out of the grand courtroom, ready to call in the news, even as journalists desperately looked at one another, wondering if their ears had failed them.
Giulia Bongiorno, Sollecito’s lawyer, who has solidified her reputation as one of the best defence attorneys in Italy, began screaming in joy and ran out of the courtroom, journalists chasing behind her.
When a seemingly stunned Carlo Dalla Vedova, the lawyer for Knox, came out of the courtroom behind her, she turned around and leapt into his arms and the two embraced..
After the decision was read, Dalla Vedova remained calm, slowly walking down the corridor toward the lift. In a hushed tone he said that such a bold decision was nearly unprecedented. Indeed, he had largely dismissed such a result before the court of cassation hearing began in Rome, saying it was practically unthinkable.
Minutes later, he emerged from the court, which overlooks Piazza Cavour, and told the swarm of journalists that he had spoken to Knox and that she was “very happy”.
“It’s a fair verdict. It’s a victory of justice. This was a mistake from the beginning,” he said.
"Obviously we were right": Claudio Pratillo Hellmann, President of the Court of Assizes of Perugia in 2011 acquitted Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito murder of Meredith Kercher comments on the decision of the Supreme Court. "There was hoping, after so many judicial errors committed by other judges on the Court of Cassation has shown that in Italy there is still justice" said Pratillo Hellmann, now retired judge. "I'm happy - said the former president of the Court - was avoided because a miscarriage of justice and those two unfortunate Amanda and Raffaele have come out because innocent.
