Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te whakatau kia kaua e waiho te whakatau a te kooti Itari mo te mea he kawenga ia mo te kohuru o Meredith Kercher ki te huna i a ia, ka haereere a Amanda Knox me tana hoa rangatira. Ko te 27-tau te pakeke i uru atu ki te kaiwaiata a Colin Sutherland me tona whaea, a Edda Mellas, i a ratau e hikoi ana i waho o te whare o tona whanau i Seattle, Washington, i te ahiahi o te Taite. Ko Knox rāua ko Sutherland, e 27 ōna tau, i whakapakari i ō rāua ringaringa, engari i te āhua o te māharahara, ā, i te āhua o te tino taumaha, kāore i te ataata, i a rāua e whakamahi ana i te ahiahi o te puna. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I kitea a Amanda Knox rāua ko tana kaumeahine a Colin Sutherland e haere ana ki te haereere i te ahiahi o te Rāpare. E tūmanakohia ana ka whakatauhia e te kooti Itari mēnā he hara a Knox mō te kohuru i a Meredith Kercher i tēnei rā. He nui te mānukanuka i te wā e haere ana a Amanda rāua ko Colin i mua i te hokinga atu ki roto i te kāinga o te whaea o Amanda. Ko te tokorua e tuku ana i tana whaea i a ia e kawe ana i ana kuri ki te hikoi. Ko te whaea o Amanda, ko Edda Mellas, e haereere ana i ana kuri. Kei te whakakotahi te whānau o Knox i a ia, me te ngana ki te āwhina i a ia ki te noho i te oranga noa iho i te wā o te whakatau whakamutunga a te Kooti o Cassation - ko te kooti teitei o Itari - i Roma i te Paraire. I mua noa iho i to rātau hikoi, i kitea a Sutherland e mau ana i tētahi peke hukapapa me ngā peke hokohoko e rua ki roto i te whare, tērā pea he taonga mō tētahi pō roa, whakamataku hoki e tatari ana ki te whakataunga. I te tīmatanga o te Rāpare, i kitea a Amanda <unk> - nāna i tuhi i te pukapuka Waiting to be Heard i te tau 2013 e pā ana ki te take kohuru me ōna tau e whā i te whare herehere - me tana hoa rangatira e tuhituhi ana i runga i tētahi pūkete i te marae o muri. Kua whakaritea te kōti Itari ki te whakatau mēnā ka whakamana i tētahi whakataunga o te tau 2013 e kī ana i a Knox rāua ko tōna hoa rangatira o mua, ko Raffaele Sollecito, he hara i te patu i te ākonga whakawhitiwhiti o Ingarangi i te tau 2007. I tika te whakatau i te Wenerei engari kua whakaroa. I tēnei rā, i whakamātau te rōia a Sollecito ki te whakaora i tōna ake kiri, ā, ka pupuhi i te ārai a Amerika. I whakatauritea te hoa aroha o mua ki tētahi 'Forrest Gump' i mau ki ngā kaupapa i tua atu i tōna mōhiotanga. Ko Knox me...
He haora i mua i te whakataunga o tōna tūnga e te kōti nui rawa o Itari, ka haere a Amanda Knox me tōna hoa rangatira ki waho o te kāinga o tōna whaea. I kitea a Amanda e tuhi ana i tētahi pukapuka i te marae o muri o te whare o tōna māmā i Seattle. Ko tana hoa rangatira, ko Colin Sutherland, he kaiwaiata rokiroki, kua noho ki tōna taha. Ko te ahua o te whaea o Edda Mellas i te mea e haereere ana ia i ana kuri e rua. Ka tukuna e te kooti Itari tana whakataunga ki te pupuri i te whakatau mo te kohuru o Meredith Kercher i tenei ra. Mēnā ka whakawāteatia he hara, ko te whakataunga ki te tuku i a Amanda ki Itari, ka noho tonu ki te ringa o te Perehitini o Obama me te Hekeretari o te Kawanatanga o Kerry.
