Amanda Knox wore a mysterious mark on her neck only hours after her roommate’s fatal stabbing, a witness testified today at Knox's murder trial. “I noticed it because it was known that Meredith had been killed by a wound to her neck,” said former roommate Laura Mezzetti, who suggested that victim Meredith Kercher wounded Knox before being killed. The mark wasn't a hickey, which would have been "purple and more round," Mezzetti said.

Wearing a T-shirt reading “All you need is love,” Knox took the witness stand again today to deny claims of friction with her former roommates, the Telegraph reports. “I always had a good relationship with them,” said Knox, adding that the much-discussed issue of house chores has been “exaggerated.”
