On October 2008, Raffaele Sollecito was convicted, together with his then girl friend, Amanda Knox, on Meredith Kercher's murder. Sollecito's father knew about their relationship as his son was very open about Knox. Their friends would always see them hugging and cuddling. They seem inseparable even on facing the charges for Kercher's murder. By December 2009, both of them were found guilty. According to the statements of their housemates, both Sollecito and Knox were drug users.
One source summarized the evidences that point Sollecito's participation in Kercher's murder. The bra clasp had Sollecito's DNA on its hooks. Also, there was a knife recovered at Sollecito's home. It has both Kercher's and Amanda's DNA. Another evidence that was found was a footprint in the victim's blood. It was found at the bathroom which is believed to be Sollecito's right foot. What made the evidences strong was that both Sollecito and Knox' made contradicting alibis on what they did on the night of the murder.
Sollecito and Knox have ended their relationship. Knox broke up with Sollecito when he sabotaged Knox' alibi to clear her name on Kercher's murder. Knox was firm with her statement that she was watching a DVD and having an initimate moment with Sollecito at the time of the murder. However, Sollecito said that he could not recall if Knox was with him.
Like all high - profile cases, many people would love to know more about its nitty - gritties. That may be the reason why Sollecito's book was a big hit and made controversy. However, Sollecito and his ghostwriter , will stand trial because of the alleged false claims that were found in the book. The hearing is expected to begin on the 3rd week of January 2015. This will be followed by a retrial on the murder case, possibly on March 2015.
