Knox Prosecutors Show Last Images of Kercher

(Newser) – As the Amanda Knox murder trial heads toward its third month, the court today saw the last images of Meredith Kercher, the Times of London reports. The grainy footage, taken from a parking lot surveillance camera, is extremely blurry, but a policeman testified that based on the timing, it was highly likely that the woman in the frame is Kercher. He also testified about finding the 21-year-old’s body, half-naked on her bedroom floor.

Knox’s stepfather was on hand, declaring her “completely innocent” and complaining that the investigation hadn’t been conducted well. He said he’d thrice visited Knox in jail. “She is doing okay,” he said. “These things stress her out, and it’s hard for her to see the overall picture. I sit her down and tell her that (it) is not going so bad, that the prosecution haven’t really brought anything up in court yet.”

Believe her or not, Amanda Knox is still a frightened, somewhat naive young lady who choose to stay in Italy to comfort Meredith's father and stayed in Perugia to help the police rather than seek shelter with relatives in Germany.  She needs encouragement as she returns to court.  It's frustrating and mentally exhausting.  Let's send her a message of courage and hope. Let’s flood her cell with cards and letters of encouragement on or before July 9, her birthday.  Please mail by the end of June.  Packages are NOT allowed into the prison.  Get a card and put $.98 (USD) postage on it.  Mail (Via Air Mail) it to: Amanda Knox c/o Casa Circondariale di Perugia Strada Pievaiola I-06 132 Capanne (PG) Italy Of course, you may send greetings and encouragement at any time. Bless you!
