(3,829 posts)6. No, the incompetence of the investigators didn't worked out in her favor
for a crime she didn't do. There is loads of evidence for the actual killer. The murderer is currently in prison.
Meredith Kercher probably walked in on Rudy Guede, who had broken into her cottage. It was Rudy Guede's MO to throw rocks into windows, and if no one responds, Rudy Guede would enter through the broken window. At least one time shortly before he murdered Meredith Kercher, Rudy Guede had stayed in the building. That indicates he could potentially be very dangerous:
Rudy Guede had broken Meredith Kercher's cottage window, obviously to break into the cottage. He then raped and murdered Meredith Kercher. He left his DNA at the scene.
There is no evidence that Amanda Knox was present. None of her clothes had any blood stains, despite the bloody mess. There is no plausible reason for Amanda Knox to help Rudy Guede murder her roommate.

Amanda isn't comparable. Guede is a murderer. She was another innocent victim. n/t

But that's a common thing, even in the US. Good behavior, parole, cutting a deal

What NEVER happens in the US is that the prosecutors in the Knox case wouldn't allow the students' attorneys
