showing off affection towards Raffaele until the paradoxical purchase of a lingerie ensemble, ostentatiously functional to a "wild sex" night. This can be deduced also from the tone of the numerous talks intercepted at the Police headquarters during the phases that preceded the interrogation of several of the protagonists of the happening. And in such context it has to be underlined what has been written by one of Meredith's friends, called Robyn Carmel Butterworth, who, once returned to her native land, some days after the happening, felt the necessity to inform the concerned authorities about some facts. It results that, while Amanda and the other characters appeared on the scene were waiting for the interrogation, Amanda let herself go with a spectacular story about the vicissitudes occurred to her the morning of 2nd of November and between other things she asserted to have seen the body of Meredith on a closet (or reflected on a closet) with a blanket over her. According to Robyn Amanda she reported to have also seen one of Meredith's foot after that a policeman had opened the door. So, all of this is impossible, considered that the door was not opened by a policeman, but by the fiancée of one of the girls arrived on the spot, while Amanda was behind all of them, without being in a position to watch inside, provided that the door remained opened only for a moment, since the participation of any strangers became immediately forbidden until the arrival of the criminal police and the magistrate.

20 - Finally it cannot be neglected the cue provided by a conversation with her parents in jail, intercepted on the 17th of November, in the course of which she spoke to her mother who was talking about possible lies propagated on purpose, she says: "It is stupid, because I cannot say anything else, I was there and I cannot lie on this, i don't have any reason to do it." This is, indeed, an ambiguous data, especially because it emerges from a still partial and synthetic transcription, but that surely it can be considered as a confirmation of the presence of the young woman in her own house at the moment of the crime. Moreover: either Amanda admits to have been present or she intends to say the contrary, but in this case it must be considered invalid the asserted defect of memory related to drugs and to other things that would have conditioned her at the moment of the editing of her defense report. It's a pity that the girl related again to this defense report during the review hearing. The persistence of this ambiguity therefore constitutes strongly suspicious element, having to presume that the girl cannot speak in clear terms if not at the cost of revealing her involvement.

21 - The combination of such elements, all important and convergent, leads to acknowledge the existence of serious indications of guilt against Amanda both with reference to the homicide and with reference to that part of the conduct that results in a group sexual violence, moreover suitable to add an aggravating factor to the framework of a complex crime.

22 - The seriousness of the evidences, strengthening the described framework, does not reach Amanda only, but also Sollecito Raffaele. It is curious to notice how Amanda in her spontaneous declarations of the 6th of November and in her defense report never decidedly excluded the presence of him on the crime scene, albeit in the picture of a memory described as very confused.
