Amanda Knox: Murder On Trial In Italy Page #4

[ BREATHING RAGGEDLY ]

AMANDA, WHAT'S WRONG?

[ WHIMPERS ]

[ GROANING ]

AMANDA.

[ CONVERSING IN ITALIAN ]

[ SOBBING ]

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

AMANDA, PUT YOUR COAT

OVER YOUR HEAD.

WHY?

PAPARAZZI.

[ CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING ]

ALL RIGHT. COME ON.

PROSECUTOR!

PROSECUTOR, IS IT TRUE

THAT MEREDITH WAS RAPED?

[ MIGNINI SPEAKING ITALIAN ]

HAVE THERE BEEN:

ANY NEW LEADS?

ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS

YOU CAN SHARE?

YES. YES, WE DO.

WE'RE WORKING ON THEM NOW.

EXCUSE ME. THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. THANKS.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

THAT'S IT. NO MORE.

I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE

WITH AMANDA.

SHE SAID THE POLICE

TOOK HER BACK TO THE

CRIME SCENE TODAY.

SAID IT WAS:

TERRIBLY UPSETTING.

DON'T THEY HAVE

ANY OTHER WITNESSES?

AMANDA SAID THEY'RE TALKING

TO EVERYONE WHO KNEW MEREDITH.

IT MUST BE SO TRAUMATIC

TO HAVE TO KEEP RELIVING IT

EVERY SINGLE DAY.

SHE SAID THEY QUESTIONED HER

EVERY SINGLE DAY THIS WEEK.

AMANDA'S A SMART KID.

SHE CAN HANDLE IT.

SHE'S IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY,

CHRIS.

DEALING WITH FOREIGN POLICE

IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE.

YEAH.

I'M GONNA LEAVE TOMORROW.

I DON'T WANT HER

DEALING WITH THIS ANOTHER DAY

BY HERSELF.

Dr. Stefanoni:

WE FOUND THIS PARTIAL

NEXT TO MEREDITH'S BODY.

IT'S A MEN'S NIKE ATHLETIC SHOE

SET IN MEREDITH'S BLOOD.

THIS BLOODY FOOTPRINT

WAS ON THE MAT IN THE BATHROOM.

ALSO MALE.

THE LAB IS ANALYZING IT

FOR SPECIFIC:

CLASS CHARACTERISTICS.

SIZE-WISE IT'S COMPATIBLE

WITH RAFFAELE SOLLECITO.

WHAT ABOUT:

THE LUMINOLED FOOTPRINTS

YOU FOUND IN THE HALLWAY?

ARE THEY COMPATIBLE

WITH SOLLECITO?

MM, TOO SMALL.

THEY'RE BETWEEN

A SIZE 36, MAYBE 38.

AMANDA KNOX IS A SIZE 37.

WAS THERE ANYTHING UNUSUAL

ABOUT AMANDA'S BEHAVIOR

AFTER MEREDITH'S BODY

WAS FOUND?

WHEN WE WERE IN THE SQUAD ROOM

WAITING TO BE QUESTIONED,

AMANDA WAS ACTING

VERY STRANGE.

EVERYBODY NOTICED IT.

STRANGE IN WHAT WAY?

AND I WERE...

A COMPLETE...MESS.

WE WERE ALL...

CRYING:

AND HUGGING EACH OTHER.

[ LAUGHS ]

AMANDA AND RAFFAELE

WERE FOOLING AROUND,

ACTING LIKE NOTHING

HAD HAPPENED.

THEY WERE:

COMPLETELY DETACHED.

DID AMANDA SAY ANYTHING AT ALL

ABOUT THE CRIME?

[ SIGHS ]

I SAID I HOPED:

MEREDITH HADN'T SUFFERED.

AND SHE TURNED TO ME

AND SAID...

OF COURSE SHE DID.

SHE DIED A TERRIBLE, SLOW DEATH

WITH HER THROAT SLIT.

YOU'RE SURE?

SHE SAID MEREDITH'S THROAT

WAS "SLIT."

POSITIVE.

AMANDA AND RAFFAELE

WERE IN THE KITCHEN

WHEN THE DOOR:

WAS BROKEN DOWN.

IS THERE ANY WAY

SHE COULD'VE CAUGHT A GLIMPSE

OF THE NECK WOUND?

MAYBE ON HER WAY OUT?

MEREDITH'S BODY

WAS COVERED BY A QUILT.

ONLY HER HAIR AND HER FOOT

WERE VISIBLE.

AND THERE IS MORE.

THE OWNER OF QUINTO'S

SUPPLY STORE CAME IN TODAY.

HE TOLD ME:

THAT A YOUNG WOMAN

WITH PIERCING BLUE EYES

AND A PALE COMPLEXION

CAME INTO HIS STORE

AT 7:
45 THE MORNING AFTER

MEREDITH HAD BEEN MURDERED

AND BOUGHT:

HOUSEHOLD CLEANING SUPPLIES.

HE THINKS IT WAS AMANDA?

HE IDENTIFIED HER

IN A PHOTO ARRAY.

[ SIGHS ]

[ CONVERSING IN ITALIAN ]

HOW ABOUT GOING DOWN TO BARI

THIS WEEKEND?

YOU COULD MEET MY FATHER.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WOW. YOU MOVE FAST.

YEAH, WELL,

IT WOULD BE A RELIEF

TO GET AWAY FROM

ALL THIS POLICE QUESTIONING.

WELL...

WE HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE,

RIGHT?

MM-HMM.

I THINK:

MY FATHER WOULD LIKE YOU.

HAS HE LIKED:

YOUR OTHER GIRLFRIENDS?

YOU ARE MY FIRST

REAL GIRLFRIEND, AMANDA.

[ Laughing ] NO, I'M NOT.

STOP IT.

NO, I'M SERIOUS.

IT'S TRUE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WELL..

[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]

HMM. OH.

THE POLICE.

PRONTO.

THEY WANT ME OVER THERE

IN 30 MINUTES.

DO THEY WANT TO:

TALK TO ME?

JUST ME.

WE LOOKED:

INTO YOUR BACKGROUND.

YOU HAVE A LONG HISTORY

WITH NARCOTICS, CORRECT?

MM...

I HAVE TAKEN...

SOME DRUGS.

BUT NOW I...

MAINLY JUST SMOKE WEED.

IS IT ALSO TRUE THAT YOU ALWAYS

CARRY A KNIFE WITH YOU?

I'VE COLLECTED KNIVES

SINCE I WAS...14?

IT'S A HOBBY.

WHAT, LIKE LYING?

WHAT'S THAT

SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

THESE RECORDS SHOW

THAT BOTH YOU AND AMANDA

TURNED OFF:

YOUR MOBILE PHONES

AT 8:
00 P.M.

ON THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER

AND TURNED THEM ON AGAIN

AT 6:
00 THE NEXT MORNING.

SO, MAYBE I TURNED

MY PHONE ON EARLIER?

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

YOU TOLD US YOU AND AMANDA

SLEPT UNTIL 10:
00 A.M.

ON NOVEMBER THE 2nd.

WERE YOU SLEEPWALKING?

MAYBE I FORGOT?

YOU FORGOT.

WHEN THE POSTAL POLICE

ARRIVED AT THE COTTAGE,

YOU TOLD THEM:

YOU'D ALREADY CALLED 112.

THERE IS NO RECORD

OF SUCH A CALL.

I DID CALL 112.

YES, YOU DID,

BUT YOU MADE THAT CALL

NOT BEFORE!

I'M....

I'M DONE HERE.

LISTEN,

YOU SPOILED BRAT!

WE'RE NOT DEALING WITH

A PARKING TICKET HERE, OKAY?

A GIRL HAS BEEN MURDERED.

IF YOU DON'T START TALKING,

NOT EVEN YOUR DADDY

WILL BE ABLE TO DIG YOU OUT.

YES.

IS THAT CLEAR?!

YES!

GOOD.

I'M LISTENING.

[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]

I TOLD YOU A LOT OF RUBBISH

IN MY EARLIER STATEMENTS.

MM-HMM.

AMANDA CONVINCED ME

OF HER VERSION,

AND I...

I JUST WANTED TO

PROTECT HER.

BUT I DIDN'T THINK ABOU THE CONTRADICTIONS.

[ SIGHS DEEPLY ]

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

[ SIGHS ]

[ GRUNTS ]

AMANDA, PER FAVORE.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME OR PLACE

FOR GYMNASTICS.

SORRY, I WAS JUST TRYING

TO RELIEVE SOME STRESS.

JUST SIT DOWN, PLEASE.

DID YOU STAY WITH AMANDA

ALL NIGHT, RAFFAELE?

THAT'S WHAT

WE REALLY WANT TO KNOW.

WE WERE AT MY APARTMEN EARLY IN THE EVENING.

BUT AROUND 9:
00,

SHE WENT OUT.

SHE WAS MEETING UP WITH SOME

FRIENDS IN THIS BAR, LE CHIC.

AND I STAYED HOME.

WHAT TIME:

DID SHE COME BACK?

NOT UNTIL:

1:
00 IN THE MORNING.

I HAVE NO IDEA:

WHERE SHE WAS ALL NIGHT.

SHOULD ANY OF OUR QUESTIONS

BE UNCLEAR.

WHERE'S RAFFAELE?

WE ARE INTERESTED IN A TEXT

YOU GOT FROM PATRICK LUMUMBA,

YOUR BOSS AT LE CHIC,

ON THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER.

YEAH, HE TOLD ME

THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO

COME IN TO WORK.

WAIT. HOW DO YOU KNOW

ABOUT MY TEXT MESSAGES?

CAN YOU READ:

YOUR RESPONSE TO HIM?

YEAH.

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

UM...

MY ITALIAN'S NOT PERFECT,

BUT IT SAYS, UH...

"CI VEDIAMO PIU TARDI."

IN ITALIAN, THAT PHRASE SUGGESTS

A FIXED APPOINTMENT.

IT JUST MEANS, "SEE YOU AROUND."

WERE YOU ARRANGING

TO MEET HIM THAT NIGHT?

NO. NO.

NOT AT ALL.

IT'S ALMOST 1:
00 IN THE MORNING.

CAN I GO?

I'M AFRAID

THAT WON'T BE POSSIBLE.

YOU HAVE TO START AGAIN!

OKAY?!

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

WE CANNOT DO IT TOMORROW.

WE HAVE TO DO IT NOW.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS

CONTINUE ]

YOU SAID THAT ALREADY!

I KNOW!

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS

CONTINUE ]

YOU HAD TO STAY HERE

ALL NIGHT OR WHAT?!

I TELL YOU THE SAME STORY!

I DON'T KNOW

WHAT YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU!

ONCE I REALIZED:

I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO WORK...

RAFFAELE AND I HAD DINNER.

WE MADE LOVE,

AND THEN WE WATCHED A MOVIE

ON HIS COMPUTER.

HOW MANY TIMES:

DO I HAVE TO GO OVER THIS?

UNTIL YOUR STORY ADDS UP.

WHAT IS THAT:

SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

IT MEANS:

THAT RAFFAELE SOLLECITO

IS NO LONGER CORROBORATING

YOUR ALIBI.

HE STATED:

YOU LEFT HIS HOUSE

AT 9:
00 ON THE NIGHT

OF THE MURDER:

AND DIDN'T RETURN HOME

UNTIL 1:
00 A.M.!

WHAT?

THAT'S -- THAT'S --
