Amanda Knox is the victim of prosecutors who have decided she is guilty "regardless of logic and reason," her attorney said Friday during statements in the appeal of her 2009 murder conviction.
Knox and former boyfriend, Rafaello Sollecito, are appealing their 2009 convictions for the death of Knox's former roommate, Meredith Kercher, whose body was found half-naked with her throat slashed on November 2, 2007.
Prosecutors said in their statements Friday that evidence against the pair is clear, from bloody footprints with particular characteristics to the spot where Knox's DNA was found on a kitchen knife believed by investigators to be the murder weapon.
"They are young, but so was Meredith. They've murdered. And they have killed for nothing. And for this they must be condemned to the maximum sentence," Manuela Comodi said.
But Knox's attorney, Maria Del Grosso, said her client is the victim of bad casting in a script in which prosecutors have decided she is guilty, "regardless of the logic and reason."
For the convictions to stand, Del Grosso argued, prosecutors need, "proofs, proofs, proofs, and in this case there is only the proof that they are strangers to this crime."
