There is no evidence yet presented to explain Ms Knox's strange behaviour after the murder was discovered.

No such strange behavior. No need to explain something that never existed to begin with.

She's very deep, that one,

I agree that she is not a shallow person.

and my suspicion is that all the facts have not yet emerged.

Aside from Mignini's likely connections with Guede, there doesn't seem to be any areas where the facts are not already fully explored.

I suppose there is even more evidence of Amanda and Raffaele's innocence waiting to emerge, but that is redundant since we already know they are innocent.

@oralloy,

I think you should have a tea party for "Amanda and Raffaele" when this is all over.

Thanks for the smiles.

Hi McTag, below is an article from today's Guardian.

World news
Meredith Kercher
Scholarship awarded in the name of Meredith Kercher
Stephanie Kercher, sister of the murdered student, returns to Perugia to bestow the academic scholarship
Lizzy Davies in Rome
guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 4 June 2013 16.37 BST

Stephanie Kercher said the scholarship, which will cover two months of classes for a British student at the local University for Foreigners, was a "lovely idea" and fitting tribute to her sister, who was just weeks into her course in 2007 when she was found dead in the cottage she shared with Amanda Knox.

The American student and her Italian ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were first convicted and then, in 2011, acquitted of the murder. Their legal battle is to continue this year after Italy's supreme court ordered a fresh appeal to be heard.

A man from Ivory Coast, Rudy Guede, is serving a 16-year jail sentence for Kercher's murder.

Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, Stephanie Kercher said the family "didn't know what to expect" from the fresh trial, due to start in Florence in the autumn, and were waiting for the court to explain its reasons for ordering it to take place. "I just hope it answers the questions that we are still waiting for answers to," she said.

She said she had not read Knox's book, Waiting to be Heard, which was published to great media fanfare in the United States in April. Neither had she read the book written by her father, John Kercher, a journalist, about his daughter's death, she said.

Set up last year, the Kercher scholarship fund was open to any British student wanting to spend time at the University for Foreigners, where the young woman from Coulsden, Surrey, was studying.

The candidate chosen by the Italian Embassy in London was Olivia Taylor, 20. Francesco Maresca, the Kercher family's lawyer, said: "At last we have taken Meredith's name out of the courts of justice."

Stephanie Kercher said she was glad to be back in the town for "a happier reason".

"[Perugia] is a beautiful city; my sister loved it here for the short time she was here. She picked this city over others for very good reasons."

She added: "It's mixed emotions being back in Perugia because obviously the last few times I've been here it's been for different reasons but today is a happy occasion; it's positive … I think the scholarship is a lovely idea. It's a very touching sentiment. And it's perfect for my sister: she wanted to study; she was very keen to learn, so I'm sure it'll be a great opportunity for Olivia."

There's a picture of Meredith Kercher (right) with her sister Stephanie at her graduation day in Portsmouth inside the link below:

Huh?! Please explain, Izzy. I'm so far behind in this Amanda Knox topic I've just discovered the upcoming appeal will be the third trial.

@Moment-in-Time,

Mebbe, I don't know Portsmouth.. (I suppose you are alluding to football vagaries)..
but I like Perugia. I was only there something like several days, but an architect friend studied at the language school and told me a lot about the city and its history, which I also read about at some length. I liked the art gallery and cathedral, oh, and the food. Also the woman who ran the small, inexpensive, albergo we stayed at. We practiced talking for some hours, off and on, she with her efforts at english and me with my long studied but non fluent italian. That was fun. She did our laundry, a big surprise and very helpful, air dried on the roof deck while we were out. Directed us to a pretty well hidden bakery/bar where I had my first and only baba au rhum ever, dipped in perugina chocolate, with an espresso chase.

Good re sister Stephanie.

Oops, I should have responded to Izzy, not Moment in Time.

@Moment-in-Time,

The Kerchers have an enormously generous heart to offer a scholarship in Meredith's name. I don't think so soon after the murder of my child I could look back on Perugia with such decency; there would be too many painful memories. It seems this gesture on their part is helping them to heal.

@Moment-in-Time,

That's not a matter of understanding - you get that from your blood, genes, etc! Wink

(For instance, I'm always grr-ing with my wife because she's a supporter of Grr-Dortmund!)

Walter put it quite succinctly.

What, forgiveness and loving kindness? Reaching out for understanding?

How will that sit with Oral's vitriol, spite and hatred? Wrong thread, I fear.

I see your false accusations are nearly as weaselly as those of the cowardly Walter.

It is not likely that you thugs will ever attempt to discuss the facts of this case. But in the unlikely event that one of you ever did such a thing, I would not respond to those facts with name-calling.

Still making light of your atrocities I see. You're a blight on humanity.

LOL!

I see the media has been shamed into revising their articles.

Nonsense.

The Kerchers aren't looking for answers. They are trying to hide the truth so they can make money from sending innocent people to prison.

I doubt it even bothers them that they helped reduce Guede's sentence from 30 years to 16 years.

@Walter Hinteler,

So Walter, are you still too much of a coward to try to justify your accusation against me?
