PERUGIA, Italy (AP) — Questions mounted Tuesday over crucial DNA evidence linking Amanda Knox and her co-defendant to the murder of her British roommate, with forensic experts giving detailed and conflicting views in court over genetic science.
Knox felt “disoriented” after two days listening to the reports about DNA extraction and attribution, her lawyer said. A prosecution consultant and a lawyer suggested further testing on DNA evidence might be warranted, a step prosecutors might decide to push for as the appeals trial continues.
Without a clear motive or convincing witnesses, much of the appeals outcome hinges on how the court views the DNA evidence.
