Would it if it had been thoroughly cleaned with bleach after the attack (and I think investigators thought that it had) and Amanda had been the last person to handle it (for whatever reason) after it had been cleaned with bleach?
I think I already mentioned the lie that the boyfriend Sollecito told to try and account for the possibility of Meredith's DNA being found there, but apparently the same knife fits the outline of a knife in blood on Meredith's bed sheet:
Of course we'll just need to wait and see what happens with this. I doubt she'd get millions compensation, and it will probably be impossible to re try her anyway. But i'll keep my ears out for more being said about this case...

Best comment so far - John's when he suggests we wait until the Judges' reasons are made available.

Less than logical John Marsh noted, "if the knife was really used in the murder surely the strongest DNA test positive would be Meredith's. That's what logic suggests to me."
Surely the victim's DNA WAS on the knife, but the tests were to find NON-victim DNA?
Patrick Lumumba was originally a victim of the Italian style of policing. Typical of most places in the world in any case.
Amanda's barmaids job on the 1 November was cancelled by text from Patrick Lumumba because he had no customers. I understand that night he he one only that night who later came forward to give him an alibi. Which he only needed because of how the police operate. So you can deduce from that his business may not of been doing too hot. But possibly like many he gets paid for stories and so on.
Second thing by the court allowing three of the four years served then the paper is most likely wrong on the millions because the court has already taken measures to cancel most of that out.
I advise people to not believe everything they read or at least to re translate it.
I suggest reading sites and books from both camps if you want to find the truth.
I throw in just one example. The guilty camp point to the DNA found on the one only knife tested to my knowledge from the two locations ever collected. Firstly the first appeal court judge appointed two independent scientist to relook and they concluded that the test was in short inconclusive. Myself noted the knife was retested again in the last appeal and Knox's DNA was found only. But the question is kinda obvious, my question that is, if the knife was really used in the murder surely the strongest DNA test positive would be Meredith's. That's what logic suggests to me.
I am trying very hard not to be one sided. And I do find even when one side is right it is easy to dismiss or over state your side.
Finally within 90 days the judges will supply details of their reasoning so let's wait to then.
All I have seen of the Italian judicial system in this trial is they do not careless about what others think anywhere just like our own UK appeal judges in the UK. In the UK if we woke up tomorrow and the UK Supreme court said that all historial sex cases need reviewing and possibly 1000's will be released because they acknowledge they were imprisoned illegally as the guilt was not proven beyond reasonable doubt. Would it happen.
