All of us must accept the fact that the trials of Amanda Knox
and Raffaele Sollecito are genuinely controversial. This is as

the concerns about the case could have been manufactured
by some tiny Seattle public relations firm is intellectually
embarrassing, as is the notion that the controversy is a
manifestation of the “cult of Foxy Knoxy.”

with access to all of the case documents, have examined
the evidence and found it wanting.

vigorous case here. There is not a single argument made
by the prosecution for which the defense has not formulated
a plausible and convincing rebuttal. They have done this with
everything—statements, witnesses, DNA, luminol, computer
and cell phone records, the so called “staged break-in”—all of it.

If a Wikipedia reader comes to this article and gets the impression
that there is no controversy and that the defense failed to address
the main prosecution allegations, we have failed miserably
