Amanda Knox: The Untold Story | Full Episode | Forensic Files

Amanda Knox. >> Amanda Knox. >> Thank you to everyone who's believed in me, who's defended me, who's supported my
family. >> Being able to get up when you want, step in the grass when you want. She's almost
kind of reborn in a way. >> At night, he called me up to his third floor in an empty office. He was fixated
on the topic of sex. Now, I realized that he was testing me to see if I reacted badly. He wanted to
get a reaction or some information from me. [Music] >> She's developed quite the fear, a fear
of people that she never had before. How do you lock up a 20-year-old girl for four years for something that she
didn't do? >> When he looked in the eyes of Amanda Knox, he thought that she was evil.
>> 54 mistakes in the gathering of the DNA in that room. We've got to find out why and how this
happened. >> I lost one of my daughters for a while. It's not going to happen again.
[Music] >> Amanda Knox, the untold story. [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] The welcome home signs in Seattle say it
All [Applause] >> my family is the most important thing to me right now and I just want to go and
be with them. And Amanda Knox is doing just that, reconnecting with family, friends, and
adjusting to freedom. Her dad, Kurt Knox. We've now kind of woken up and realized
that the nightmare is over. Living for 4 years inside a a concrete and steel, you
know, prison. And now being able to kind of just look around, smell the air makes
a huge difference. It's almost hard to believe that days earlier, her face was filled with fear as Amanda Knox stood up
in court with the whole world watching to deliver the most important speech of her young life.
>> In fluent Italian, she spoke forcefully and emotionally, proclaiming her innocence in the murder of her roommate,
Meredith Kercher. Fore cream. [Music] More than 10 hours later, the tension was almost unbearable.
>> A judge read the verdict. >> Not guilty. >> Amanda was quickly rushed from the
courtroom. It was the end of a long and difficult road for her family. I watched Amanda
and I saw her slump and I went, "No. And then our attorney that speaks English uh
turned around and said, "She's free." Couldn't tell you. Couldn't be couldn't be better. Her family had sacrificed
everything to be near her. And so did one very determined best friend, 24year-old Madison Paxton.
Madison moved to Peruia last year and played a crucial behindthe-scenes role as morale booster and confidant. As
Amanda prepared for her new trial, >> your spunkiness and the nature of your relationship with Amanda, you've really
encouraged her to stand up and fight. >> Oh, yeah. Very much so. I remind her that you can be mad, that you should be
mad, and that it's fine for you to defend yourself. [Music] Just about every Tuesday and Saturday
for the past 10 months, Madison took a 15-minute bus ride and then set out on a 20-minute walk to see her best friend in
prison. Her visits provided much needed human contact during times of desolation and
despair. I remember one time when I visited her and she just had an eyelash and so of
course I just brushed it off and the letter I got from her a few days later, she wrote how much it meant to
her that I brushed off her eyelash just because it's like a kind, friendly physical gesture and that just doesn't
exist for her anymore. >> Madison kept a video diary at 48 hours request. >> I don't know. She's beyond heartbroken.
She's she is depressed. She's she's absolutely terrified of >> the powerful entries provide us with an
inside look at what Amanda was thinking and feeling while trapped behind bars. >> And Amanda, she's just like, "Why do
people feel they have a right to like make these presentations about my life when I've never met them and they don't
know me?" And I turned to her and I was like, "Babe, cuz you're a character to them. You're not a person. You're a
character." Our investigation reveals an incredible story of how police and a powerful prosecutor twisted the evidence
to fit their theory of the crime. And it started on November 2nd, 2007 with the murder of her 21-year-old British
roommate. >> Police say Meredith Kerser was found partially clothed and had been left in a
pool of blood with a deep cut to her throat. Amanda had no idea how quickly she would
turn from witness to suspect. Her troubles began with a kiss that would be played over and over again
on Italian TV. Investigative journalist and CBS news consultant Bob Graham. And from right at the beginning with those
series of kisses, Amanda Knox was demonized in the Italian mind. >> Yes. It showed a callousness. It showed
a a disregard for this moment when her flatmate had been been murdered. >> And if Amanda could be so cold,
prosecutor Juliano Manini thought that meant she could also be involved. Amanda's mother, Edelis, had a very
different view. >> It's not passionate kissing. It's comforting and consoling behavior. She
was devastated. You can tell she's in shock. Ironically, Amanda's eagerness to stay in Peruia and help the police was
backfiring on her. >> She had the opportunity on several occasions to leave the country. Her her
aunt in Germany phoned and said, "Amanda, your mom says you should get out of the country." And she said, "No,
I want to stay here. I want to help solve my my my flatmate's murderer." >> Amanda was interrogated for a total of
50 hours over 4 days. No attorney. None of the questioning was recorded. >> And these are people who are trained to
break mafia suspects. >> They break mafia. And here they had a little 20-year-old yoga hippie from
Seattle who thought that everybody was wonderful and just wanted to go have coffee together.
>> The brutal interrogation ended with Amanda confessing, putting herself at the scene and implicating another
person, her boss at a local bar where she worked, Patrick Lumumba. Author Nina Burley has been studying the case.
>> She signed a statement that says, "I see myself in the house. Patrick is with me.
Patrick Lambo, he has gone into Meredith's bedroom and I can hear her screams." >> The statement Amanda signed implicated
Patrick with a bizarre and awkward line. I confusedly remember that he killed her. I take offense with the word
confession because Amanda never says that she participated in the murder of her friend. She never confesses to being
part of that crime ever. >> There were many troubling details about that so-called confession. But it was
all the police chief of Perua needed to arrest Amanda Raphael and Patrick Lumumba for the murder of Meredith
Kercher. >> And he had the nerve to say, "Case closed. We've solved this murder. That's
okay if you've got the evidence. >> In fact, none of the forensic evidence, including the DNA testing, had even come
back. But the prosecutor insisted his gut and Merida's near naked body, told him how the murder had occurred during a
drugfueled orgy. And Amanda was the ring leader. Amanda was presented as extremely
attractive, having lots of sex, decided one night to act on these completely diabolical urges and bewitched two men
into attacking her roommate. >> And the world's media ate it up. >> Amanda's beauty. Did that play a role in
all of this? It definitely tells more papers if you have two beautiful, beautiful women. And then headlines that
there was some attempt at an orgy between them. To prosecutor Manini, an orgy that led to a satanic killing.
[Music] The fate of Amanda Knox has always been inextricably linked to prosecutor
Juliano Manini. >> His worldview is evil walks on this earth. There are people in his community who
are practicing oult rituals who maybe worship the devil. Nina Burley, author of The Fatal Gift of
Beauty, says that the closer Manini looked at Meredith Kercher's murder. >> A body has been found, it's very spooky.
It's the night after Halloween. >> The more he began to see not only evidence, but the spectre of the supernatural.
>> It happened on a Thursday night. That's when the witches held their Sabbath. >> Witches. The Sabbath. It sounds
laughable, but Nenah says Manini sees the face of evil everywhere. >> I think that when he looked in the eyes
of Amanda Knox, he thought that she was evil. >> To Manini, a staunch Catholic with a
medieval mindset. Amanda Knox was a sinner who took part in a satanic orgy that resulted in the murder of an
innocent. >> This is ridiculous. This is absolutely insane and it's unfounded. Amanda's
friend, Madison Paxton. >> The claims that they put against Amanda that that she was so sexually powerful
that she could manipulate these two men who she didn't even really know, it tells you a lot more about the person
making the claims than about the person those claims are made against. >> But Manini did not back down.
>> Not even when he was forced to release Patrick Lumumba, who had a solid alibi.
And not even when the DNA evidence came back and seemed to exonerate Amanda and Raphael.
>> There is nothing in that room out of all those 400 samples that places Amanda or
Raphael in that room. You can't go into a room and selectively just clean up your DNA and leave everybody else's DNA
there. It's impossible. It's it can't be done. >> A bloody fingerprint found at the scene
gave Manini a new suspect. Rudy Geday, an African immigrant who is known to have confronted people with a knife.
>> He was hanging around with these students and partying with them and pretending to be like them, but he
wasn't like them at all. And in order to keep up with them, he started apparently
getting involved in breaking and entering. >> GDay was tracked down, arrested, and
charged with Merida's murder. >> His bloody fingerprint is there. >> Absolutely. His footprint is there.
>> DNA. >> Absolutely. >> And he fled to Germany. >> And he admits he was there. He admits
cradling her body as she as she was bleeding to death, feeling bad about it. So bad that he ran out of there carrying
her money. He felt so bad that he went to a disco and partied. He felt so bad that he disappeared to Germany to let
other people take the rap for it. That's how bad he feels. Even with GDay in custody, Manini refused to believe that
only one person was responsible. >> He believes deeply in conspiracies. Conspiracy is part of his investigative
DNA. >> Manini believed he was in possession of the murder weapon, a kitchen knife found
in the apartment of Raphael Seleletch, Amanda's boyfriend. The Roman scientific police claimed they found an
infinitesismal amount of DNA on the handle related to Amanda and an infinitesismal
amount of DNA on the blade relating to Meredith. >> All that was left for Manini was to
establish a link between Rudy Gadeet, Amanda, and Raphaeli. The police began pressuring GDay.
>> First statement from Rudy Geday. Amanda had nothing to do with it. Those are his
own words. Following statements, he's moving her more into the story. He gets up and
says, "She did have something to do with it. She was there >> and was the instigator."
>> And was the instigator. >> In 2008, GDay went on trial first. He was convicted of killing Meredith
Kercher and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Manini told the court that GDay had expressed remorse and later his
sentence was reduced to 16 years. The stage was set. Amanda and Raphael's trial began in
January 2009, and by then, Manini had another piece of evidence that reportedly had Raphael's DNA on it. a
piece of Meredith Kercher's bra that had been cut off by the killer. >> Manini barreled ahead with his
prosecution, convinced that Amanda, Raphael, and Rudy Goodday all conspired and took part in the murder of Meredith
Kercher. And the press, Graham says, played a key role. I don't just blame the the
prosecutor and the police in this. I also attribute a lot of blame to the media. They bought the lies. They helped
create the perception that that existed that Amanda Noox was the shevil and Raphael Sashto was her slave. At nearly
every turn, Amanda was losing the publicity war. After the kiss came this videotape showing Amanda shopping for
quote unquote sexy underwear a day or two after Meredith's murder. Never mind that all her clothes were locked up at
the crime scene. >> The public was fed a diet of untruths, myths, rumors, falsehoods, lies about Amanda Knox and
Raphael Celestito. >> Manini spun a fantastic tale for jurors filled with graphic details about the
violent sex orgy on the night Meredith was murdered. >> It was made up. It was fantasy. An
Italian magazine created these drawings based on Manini's theory, showing Amanda
plunging a knife into Meredith. In December 2009, after a trial that lasted nearly a year, a smiling Amanda
Knox walked into the court at nearly midnight, convinced the jury had seen the truth and that she'd soon be going
home. She did not think for a single moment that she was actually going to be convicted. It never really fully entered
into any of our minds that it could actually happen. It's I mean like she she very ideally
thought that the truth was enough. >> But the jury found a different truth. Amanda was found guilty of killing
Meredith Kercher and sentenced to 26 years. Raphaeli got 25 years. >> It's a complete miscarriage of justice
and it's a travesty to the Italian judicial system. >> Amanda trapped in an Italian prison soon
had a more immediate problem. A prison official she feared was on the prowl for sex.
[Music] 48 Hours has learned just how frightening those first dark days in prison were for Amanda Knox.
Right from the beginning, she was terrified that she might be sexually assaulted.
This is a letter that came to me from Amanda. >> Investigative journalist Bob Graham read
Amanda's letter detailing cruel manipulation and incidents of sexual intimidation. She described how a
highranking prison administrator ordered her into his office alone at night to talk about sex.
He was fixated on the topic of sex with whom I'd done it, how I liked it, if I would like to do it with him. When I
realized that he really wanted to talk to me about sex, I would try to change the subject.
>> Amanda writes that she was particularly frightened because the administrator quote acted as if he was the king of the
castle. >> Therefore, I thought he didn't have to answer to anyone for his behavior.
Amanda eventually came to believe that the administrator had a different motive, that he was perhaps trying to
support the prosecution's theory that she really was a sex crazed sheevil who killed Meredith during a violent orgy.
>> I realized that he was testing me to see if I reacted badly to understand me personally. He wanted to get a reaction
or some information from me. I did not get the seriousness of the situation. The intimidation reportedly ended after
Amanda's lawyers complained. >> What does this letter say to you about what she's been going through?
>> It says at a time when she was clearly traumatized by the the murder of her flatmate. And here she was being
pressured in a prison system, a system that at least she should have had some some degree of of safety. And there was
this guy, a senior officer in this prison, now pressing her about sex. Pressing her, "Do you want to have sex
with me?" >> Bob Graham spoke with the administrator who admitted he and Amanda discussed the
topic of sex, but claims she brought it up. >> Madison Paxton says Amanda stood her
ground, showing remarkable strength. It's still her life and the only way that the prosecution wins is if she
becomes some broken, bitter person who relies on the free and abundant tranquilizers at the prison. She has
never done that and she's beyond determined to not do that. >> Her focus was the appeal and she soon
had a worldrenowned ally. >> This case horrifies me. I'd like to say it shocks me, but I've seen others like
it. >> Psychologist and professor Saul Kassen is an expert on police interrogations.
>> That what you're saying to him is not on record, right? >> Your signature on record.
>> On his own initiative, Kassen filed a report with the Italian court on Amanda's behalf. It outlines some of the
psychological reasons why Amanda could have confessed to a murder she did not commit. Amanda Knox like everybody has a
breaking point. She reached her breaking point. Eight or 10 or 12 police officials in a tag team manner come in
and interrogate her. Their goal is a confession, and they're not leaving that room without it.
>> At her first trial, Amanda told the court just how badly the Italian police had intimidated her.
>> I was very, very scared because they were treating me so badly. I didn't understand why.
They told me that I was trying to protect someone, but I wasn't trying to protect anyone, but they continued to
call me a stupid liar. >> She's obviously in a state of grief or shock. She is accused. She's called a
liar when she denies having any involvement. She's in a foreign place and she's being interrogated in a
language in which she's not fluent. >> And what does that do to someone? >> She's confused. She's disoriented. Hour
after sleepless hour passed with no food, no water, no bathroom breaks, and no attorney. During that brutal
interrogation, Amanda's mother says it was the police who first brought up the name Patrick Lumumba, Amanda's boss.
They had discovered that Amanda had exchanged texts with him the night of the murder.
Amanda's last message said, "See you later. See you later. Yeah. Is an American way
of saying goodbye. Yeah. But in in Italian it's not, is it? >> No. And they took that to mean we're
making an appointment to get together later tonight. That's the way they interpreted it.
>> They kept saying, "You said this thing to Patrick. We know that you left the house. We know." I just said his name.
>> She didn't know it at the time, but the moment she named Patrick Lumumba would
seal Amanda's fate. She described it in the letter to Bob Graham. >> So I said, "Patrick." Nearly all the
police officers leapt up. They hugged each other and would off in search of Patrick. In the meantime, I just cried.
I curled up into a ball and balled my eyes out. I don't know how long I cried. I was so tired. I couldn't think.
>> Hours later, Amanda signed that confession that placed her in the house where Meredith was killed.
>> I believe Amanda's confession is false. I believe Amanda is innocent. If she was
there, wouldn't she have known that Patrick wasn't there? Wouldn't she have known that Rudy was there? The reason
she didn't know those things is that she wasn't there. She later recanted, but it was too late.
The damage done, she was officially under arrest. 3 years after the murder, Amanda is
ready to attack all the prosecution's evidence head on at her appeal. the confession, the eyewitnesses,
and the DNA. [Music] >> You can't even put into words as as we sit here and talk to you what it must be
like for her. I mean, our lives are not on the line. Her life is it's it's going
to be put in somebody else's hands again. >> And the prosecution would not go down
without a fight. [Music] Amanda Knox. >> Amanda Knox. >> Amanda Knox. >> With all the brewhaha over Amanda Knox,
it's sometimes easy to forget the murdered woman at the center of this case. >> Meredith still leaves quite a big hole
in our lives. Yeah. >> Meredith Kercher seen here in this music video. [Music] >> But Amanda's father, Kurt, says his
thoughts are never far from the Kercher family. >> They've experienced the worst thing that
a parent could ever experience at the loss of a child. You know, you can't even describe what
they must be going through as well. The ordeal was still far from over for any of the families, Meredis, Amanda's,
or Raphael Selechos. It was back to court as Amanda and Raphael appealed their murder
convictions. >> We know she's innocent. She knows she's innocent. She's not afraid of the truth.
>> A lot had changed in Peruia since the first trial ended. If we were to walk up
to an average person here in Peruia and ask them, describe Amanda Knox, what would they say after all of this media
beliefs? >> 3 years ago, everyone would have said, "She is evil. She's, you know, she is
the killer." Now, I think you would get a pretty strong number of people who would say, "Well, perhaps she's not the
person that we thought she was." >> That attitude carried into this second trial, which was presided over by a new
judge. He started the appeals trial with a very clear statement and that was the only
thing we know for certain is that Meredith Kercher is dead. >> True to his word, this judge asked
independent experts to review the key DNA evidence in the case. >> What they discovered shocked most
observers. 54 mistakes in the gathering of the DNA in that room. That's shoddy work. That's
appalling work. >> During the first trial, prosecutor Manini had said a kitchen knife found in
Raphael's house had Amanda's DNA on the handle and Meredith on the blade. Damning if true.
>> Meredith Kerch's DNA was not on the blade. >> Not on the blade. Not on the blade.
Indeed, Amanda Noxes was on the handle, but she never doubted it. >> And why was Amanda's DNA on the handle?
>> Cuz she cooked in Raphael's house. Her DNA was on the handle and rye bread residue was on the blade. So obviously,
she had been using that knife to cut bread in Raphael's house. >> And then there was that small clasp from
Meridus Bra, supposedly containing Raphael's DNA. The bra clasp, the one piece of evidence that prosecutor Mini
said definitely put Raphael Seleto in the murder room. What happened to that piece of evidence?
>> Again, thrown out. Thrown out. Contaminated. >> In this police video, crime scene
technicians collect this key piece of evidence 6 weeks after the murder. Using dirty gloves, they pick it up and
then place the bra clasp back on the floor. >> Go back to the phrase, "The forensics
will tell us everything." And it did. And it does. There is zero evidence against Nox and zero evidence against
Celestial. [Music] In fact, not a single text, email, or phone call has ever been found that
links Amanda and Raphael to Rudy Goodday. >> I'm a vampire, >> who has admitted holding a blood soaked
Meredith in his arms the night of the murder. And important witnesses from the first
trial appeared to be discredited this time around. One of the biggest witnesses was a
homeless guy who was a drug addict who said that he saw Amanda and Raphaeli arguing nervously standing around above
the house around the time that the murder would have occurred. Well, come to find out in the appeal, this guy's a
heroin addict. He could barely walk to the to the witness stands. >> The judge even stopped the questioning
and basically just said, "You're out of here. >> I've heard enough of you. take him away.
>> Things were looking up for Amanda, but she couldn't help but worry, said her friend Madison Paxton.
>> As things start to slowly look better with the trial, it kind of hurts to hope
because we know what it felt like the first time that they were convicted. and you have
this acknowledgement in your head that's like, "Wow, this would actually genuinely destroy her if she was
convicted again." In some ways, it's easier psychologically to be filled with despair. Does that make sense?
>> One irony in this case is that the Italian authorities actually did a great job. In less than 3 weeks, they had the
person who murdered Meredith Kercher. Indeed, >> they arrested Rudy Geday and they had
the evidence against him. >> Absolutely. They'd also dug a hole so deep that they couldn't get out of it.
That was the problem. And pride, vanity, whatever it was, ensured they just kept
digging. >> But Manini would not let go of his theory that Gadeet did not kill Meredith
by himself, but had help from Amanda and Raphaeli. So, as prosecutor Manini watches his case collapse around him,
what does he do during the course of this appeal? He says that her sentence should be lengthened to life.
>> Exactly. It's mind-boggling. They're not going to give it up easily. I mean, there's a reason why vendetta is an
Italian word. >> After nearly 4 years in prison, Amanda was itching to get outside again. She
said today, she's like, "Madison, it's been 3 years since I've been able to walk outside past 3:00 p.m. I miss
walking at night. I miss stars. I I miss that so much." >> But Amanda would never see those stars
again if prosecutors had their way. In closing arguments, prosecutors dismissed all questions
about their forensic evidence and stood by their witnesses. >> Nothing they said had changed.
Amanda and Raphaeli were still guilty of murder. >> What do you expect for tomorrow? I don't
know. >> As the verdict nears, the world's media has now descended on Puja. [Music]
>> As the final act of this 4-year saga came to a head, it was clear that Amanda Knox was no
longer the trusting 20-year-old hippie from Seattle, but instead a 24year-old prisoner.
A lot of people have noticed she's lost weight. There's so much concern on her face. Are you worried?
>> Well, of course, as a mom, you're worried. You look at her and you know she's suffering. You know she's lost
weight. She tells you she can't eat, she can't sleep because of the stress. Of course, it
breaks your heart to watch that as a parent and know that she's dealing with all of that.
Yeah. Just as he did with the infamous kiss, Manini in his rebuttal attacked Amanda
and Raphael's behavior, saying they did not react appropriately when gruesome crime scene photographs of Meredith
Kercher were shown in court. You sit there and, you know, you want to yell out lies, but you have to sit and
quietly and remain composed. You watch your daughter being tortured, you know, emotionally tortured sitting there
having to listen to that stuff. >> How are you feeling today, Mr. >> But then Raphael and Amanda got their
turn. The jurors were riveted as Raphaeli removed a plastic bracelet. A hush fell over the courtroom
>> as a visibly shaken Amanda began to speak. After thanking Raphael for his support,
Amanda addressed her so-called confession. As she ended her dramatic speech, three
jurors were in tears. volume. It I forlo. [Music] That night, the first verdict gave
everyone pause. >> Guilty. Amanda had slandered her former boss, Patrick Lumumba. She was sentenced
to 3 years, time served. But then, the verdict Amanda longed for. She and Raphael's murder convictions
overturned. [Music] The emotional upheaval of her lost years was etched on her face. Her former
boyfriend Raphaeli stayed calm as did the family of Meredith Kercher who were in the courtroom.
Meanwhile, the streets of Peruia exploded. An extraordinary scene out here. The crowd surged forward. There was great
disappointment. You can still hear some whistling. People are quite upset. upset that she was found not guilty.
[Applause] It was time for Amanda to make her last trip back to prison. And this time she had company. Sitting
next to her was the boy turned man who had been with her on every step of this journey, Raphael Seleto. They were
actually able to both sit in one of the cars that took them back to the prison. It kind of to me kind of became you're
now a human being again versus you're a prisoner. Amanda was crying so much that
Raphael, you know, was telling her we're free. You know, hey, why are you crying?
At the prison, Amanda said goodbye to some of her guards, including one who showed Amanda a touch of humanity.
>> There was actually a female guard there that actually put money on Amanda's account one time, you know, because it
was kind of that motherly thing. >> They're reminding me to speak in English um cuz I'm having problems with that.
>> She missed a lot during her four years in prison. And now that she's free, Amanda is focused once again on her
future. >> Maybe in five years, she may be, you know, an advocate uh for people that
have been wrongfully convicted, trying to have them feel what she felt and let it be known that there still is a light
at the end of the tunnel. [Music] [Music]
