Knox ‘naive, but no murderer’, trial told

THE woman accused of killing British student Meredith Kercher was no murderer, merely naive and foolish, a court heard yesterday.

Giulia Bongiorno, who is defending Amanda Knox’s ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito in the Italian case, compared Knox to the film character Amelie in the 2001 French film of the same title.

That is the film Knox and Sollecito claim they were watching on video the night Kercher, 21, was fatally stabbed in the throat in 2007.
