This is such BS. She is 100 percent not guilty. They already have the guy in prsion for this crime! Prosecutors should have their licenses revoked and their assets seized.

“Prosecutors should have their licenses revoked...”

Your wish was granted (from the nets):

The controversy surrounding the evidence eventually led the court to order an investigation, and in July 2011 that investigation concluded that police mishandled or violated procedure in 54 separate instances.

This was damning not only for the police, but for prosecutor Giuliano Mignini, who took over the investigation of the Kercher murder at an early stage. Mignini’s lurid theory of the case was that a Kercher was murdered as part of a sex-fueled satanic ritual, with Knox, Sollecito and another man, Rudy Guede, as participants. The evidence strongly pointed to Guede a murder suspect, but Mignini cut Guede a deal to secure his testimony against Knox and Sollecito. Guede was ultimately sentenced to 16 years in prison, compared to a quarter-century for Knox and Sollecito.

The Knox case was not the first time Mignini has advanced satanic theories in murder cases, or been mired in charges of prosecutorial misconduct. Mignini was a latecomer in the investigation of the famous Monster of Florence case (which served as inspiration for the character Hannibal Lecter), and advanced the wild theory that a coterie of as many as 20 people were involved a Satanic cult that was responsible for the Monster’s murders. In response to criticism of his handling of the case, Mignini arrested and accused Italian journalist Mario Spezi of murder, and threatened American writer Douglas Preston as well, as detailed in Preston and Spezi’s book The Monster of Florence.

Between convicting Knox and the 2011 appeal, Guiliano Mignini was convicted for abuse of authority during the Monster of Florence case and sentenced to 16 months in jail.
