By contrast, just a day earlier she had posted on the internet a photo of herself holding a sign saying "siamo innocent" - "we're innocent".
The way Sollecito sees it, investigators have made the mistake of selecting the evidence to fit their prime suspects.
Knox made a false statement to police after five days of questioning, saying she was at the flat when Meredith was murdered and that it was a local bar owner who had done it. It was later discovered that the bar owner, Patrick Lumumba, had a very strong alibi.
But the authorities remained convinced that Knox and Sollecito were involved. When forensic tests brought Rudy Guede into the frame - a local man who was tried separately and convicted of killing Meredith - the prosecut
