We are referring to multiple elements, linked to the complex reconstruction of the crime, which rule out Guede having acted alone. In the first place lies the existence of the two principal wounds (in reality three), found on the neck of the young English woman, one on one side and one on the other, with different directions and characteristics compatible (even if the conclusion is disputed by the defence) with two different knives.
This is a physical action that is very difficult to ascribe to one person acting alone.
However it cannot be excluded that there was conscious acceptance of a preliminary physical approach that was initially consensual.

http://www.groundreport.com/knox-and...o-final-words/ :Det är nog ingen detalj som det var värt besväret att riva upp Guides dom över för det påverkar ju inte slutsatsen ang Knox och Sollecito: även om det i Guides dom ansågs fastslaget att han hade medhjälpare så saknas det ju minsta bevis för att "medhjälparna" skulle vara Knox and Solecito. Cassationdomarna går så långt som att konstatera att det vore en fysisk omöjlighet för Knox och Solicito att undanröja spår av egen medverkan på själva brottsplatsen och bara lämna Guides DNA och hand+fotavtryck. De anses alltså inte vara de okända "medhjälparna".
There is a ghost haunting the solemn corridors of the palace of the Court of Cassation in Rome. It is called, in Italian, “conflitto in giudicato” and it has always frightened the judges of Italy’s highest court.
A “conflitto in giudicato” of the worst type happens when two definitive rulings, that is two different rulings issued by Cassation’s panels to close a case, conflict about the verdict on some element of the same case.
Throughout the years, Cassation judges have always tried to dispel such a haunting presence by trying to ensure that all of their rulings were “aligned” and coherent, as much as possible.
Hence it isn’t particularly surprising that Marasca agrees with Guede’s ruling about the presence of multiple attackers and the burglary being staged: ruling otherwise would have caused a major “conflitto in giudicato”, and probably that was also one of the causes of the annulment of the first acquittal.
According to the ruling there is an “unsurmountable monolithic barrier” against the conviction of the defendants for murder, namely “the total absence of biological traces attributable with certainty to the two defendants in the murder room or on the body of the victim”.
And indeed the case is all there: it was impossible for two more people besides Guede to attack Meredith Kercher and stab her in that small room without leaving behind any trace.
The alleged “selective” cleaning is, according to the ruling and to common sense, totally impossible, to a point, says Marasca, that no expert report is needed to certify this.

Tekniska bevis avgör ofta utgången i mordrättegångar. Men indicier kan också räcka för fällande dom. - Det har skett hur många gånger som helst, säger rättsvetenskapsprofessor Dennis Töllborg.Visserligen gäller ovanstående Sverige, men jag vill minnas att Italien har liknande värdering.
