Here is the evidence you look for, Kitsune:
More at this link, including discussion of forensic evidence:Crini also told the court that results of a new examination of a knife, which the original prosecutors considered as the murder weapon, should be considered as proof that Knox killed Kercher. The knife, which was found in Sollecito’s apartment during the initial days of the investigation, has what the prosecution maintains is Kercher’s DNA in a tiny groove on the blade. The spot was too small to double-test, and it had to be amplified beyond the standard measures of practice in forensic science. In the original trial, DNA on the handle was attributed to Knox, which, together with the Kercher DNA, was crucial evidence used to convict the Seattle native. During the first appeal, the spot of DNA attributed to Kercher was deemed inconclusive by independent experts because it was too small to double-test. During the new appeal, a new examination of a previously untested spot on the blade near the handle again proved that Knox had at some point held the knife. No other spots on the knife were retested during this appellate trial, and Crini asked that the original findings—that Kercher’s DNA is on the blade—be considered in their final verdict in the new appeal. He said that the new tests proved for sure that Knox was the author of the murder.
Crini asked the court to consider all the evidence used to convict Knox and Sollecito in 2009—not just the previous appellate court’s focus on two highly-contested pieces of forensic evidence. Crini instead wants this court to look back to testimony that the first appellate court had dismissed. Crini told the court that they should not ignore the testimony by Nara Capezzali, an elderly neighbor who testified that she heard a blood curdling scream the night Kercher was murdered, followed by what she said were several people running up the metal steps near her home away from the house. Crini also told the court not to ignore the testimony by Antonio Curatolo, a homeless man who has since died, who said he saw Knox and Sollecito arguing and agitated late on the night of the murder as they allegedly looked over the crime scene from a perch near where he slept on a park bench. Crini also said the court needed to believe the testimony by Marco Quintavalle, a storeowner who claimed he saw a woman who looked like Knox buying bleach and cleaning supplies the morning after the murder.
