You are listening to the Roberta Glass True Crime Report, putting the true back in true crime.

From New York City, Roberta Glass is now on the record.

My guest, Shana is a true crime researcher and animal advocate and one of my favorite people to talk with about true crime. She can be heard on this podcast talking about Alex Gibney's documentary Crazy Not Insane and on a special live episode discussing the execution of Lisa Montgomery,

both linked in this episode's description.

She returns to the podcast to talk about Amanda Knox's vengali-like control of the internet.

Welcome back, Sheena.

So what is the most clear and convincing evidence against Amanda Knox?

Oh, God, there's so much of it.

I would say what convinced me was Amanda's DNA mixed with Meredith's blood. It's in the bathroom and it was also in

their housemate Philomena's room, if I recall correctly. And I remember I read online that they

can't prove that it's Amanda's blood mixed with Meredith's blood, but it is DNA in the form of blood.

And blood is very rich in DNA, and there was equal amounts of both of their DNA.

So basically it's blood.

You just can't legally say it's blood because we don't know that Amanda's DNA was in the form of blood.

Am I making sense there?

Yeah, it's DNA that lights up under luminal.

So the supporters will say that she's rubbed root vegetables on her feet.

I've actually engaged in debate.

Oh, my.

With a person trying to argue that, they will make up a crazy excuses for it,

but they don't like to talk about Filomena's room at all.

And that is a really good point.
