UPDATE, Saturday, 3:20 p.m.
As we reported below, today was scheduled to be the final hearing in Amanda Knox's appeal case prior to a four-week summer recess, closing arguments, then verdict. However, in court today, the judge agreed to allow the prosecution to hear more witnesses beginning Sept. 5, including those who collected the DNA in the original trial that placed Knox behind bars for a 26-year sentence. The prosecutors today attacked the legitimacy of the two court-appointed forensics experts and their findings. The experts were appointed by the judge.
The director of Italy’s scientific police, Piero Angeloni, read a letter in court defending the experts and said that each year they process 4,500 crime scenes and have never been condemned so harshly for their work: “Never has anyone questioned our methods this way.”
Chris Mellas interview:With late edit on some details
The West Seattle Herald just interviewed Amanda Knox's stepfather, Arbor Heights resident Chris Mellas shortly after he left the courtroom, by phone in Perugia, Italy. These are his observations of the day in court and the case as he sees them.
