Well, I don't know what Italian TV channels were up to, but in court the prosecution suspected Meredith Kercher to be the person in the CCTV picture, not Amanda Knox.
No, the police suspected it was Meredith Kercher.
Nick Pisa:
Grainy CCTV footage of what may have been Meredith Kercher's final walk home has been shown at the trial of two people accused of murdering her.
A series of black and white stills photographs showing a female figure with long hair walking down a slope to Meredith's house have been taken from a CCTV camera in a nearby car park.
They were timed at 8.41pm on the night Meredith was last seen alive and minutes after she had left a friend's house to return home.
Police inspector Mauro Barbadori told the court the CCTV footage had been recovered in the hope that it would provide key information.
He said: ''From the time on the film and the fact it is a female figure - the belief is that it is Meredith but it is very poor quality and we cannot say for definite.
''Hypothetically speaking it is very possible that the figure seen is Meredith returning home after spending the evening at a friend's house.''

Bottom line is that we don't know who it was in the video. It could have been some unnamed 3rd party out for an evening stroll. We simply don't, and cannot, know.
Look at the Google Street View link. On the left side of the road there is no place to go except the cottage and no room for pedestrians to walk past the cottage.
Uh, no, they don't. Your last post claims that she left Sofie around 9 (20:55 in a different post). So, that puts her well past the 20:53 that a 10 minute slow camera clock would indicate.
You are forgetting that the reported times assumed the camera was 10 minutes fast. If it was actually 10 minutes slow the total difference would be 20 minutes.
To be fair, Kestrel, there is no pavement on the other side of the road either. Anyone walking down that road would just have to pick a side to walk down. The sensible side would be facing oncoming traffic, which would mean walking on the left hand side.
It's not a safe street to stroll down. Back up a bit in street view and you will see the pedestrian route going up the ramp. It reconnects with the road later.
No, there's not "total difference". See, either the clock is on time (20:43), it's 10 mins early (20:33), or it's 10 mins slow (20:53). Yes, there's a total window of 20 mins, but no part of that 20 mins is after 2100 - which is what counts.
From other examples, we know this camera records the time at the bottom of the video frame. But this video doesn't include that part of the image. So how do you know those numbers say 20:43?
If you have a video link that shows the numbers, please share it with us.
Europe is full of streets that are not safe to walk down. It doesn't stop people walking down them. The pedestrian route you are talking about appears to go through the car park - not particularly picturesque if you're out for an evening stroll.
You yourself were claiming the video camera read 20:43. Now you're shifting your stance? Could you be more obvious in your bias? Please? I almost missed it this time around, but then my gf read your last few posts and caught it for me.![]()
OMFG. Could you shift the goalposts any more obviously?

No, the Perugia police claimed the images were recorded at 20:43. They have also said the clock on this camera is 10 minutes fast. Therefore if we could see the numbers in this video, they will indicate 20:53.
