Defense Witness Says Amanda Knox Did Not Break Window
Witness Says Rock Was Thrown from Outside Knox's Home
Knox, Sollecito Accused of Robbing Kercher
The other witnesses at Friday's hearing added what appeared to be of little substance to the defense.
The director of a local bank, Paolo Fazi, testified that 20 euros ($28) had been withdrawn from Meredith Kercher's account Nov. 2 -- the day her body was found. But he also said that the bank accounting date does not necessarily reflect the actual date of the ATM withdrawal, and that only Kercher's British bank would have that date. Someone from the British bank is expected to testify in upcoming hearings.
Fazi also said that the person making the withdrawal had used Kercher's pin code to get into her account. Knox and Sollecito are also accused of stealing Kercher's credit cards, her cell phones and 300 euros ($420) in cash that were missing after she was killed.
Other witnesses on Friday included the prison guard who gave Knox pen and paper Nov. 7, the day after she was imprisoned, so she could write down a statement. Raffaele Ariro said he gave Knox the pen and paper on the evening of Nov. 6, shortly after she arrived at the prison. When Knox gave him a written statement the following morning, he handed it over to the prosecutor, he said. The content of the statement was not discussed in court.
A University of Perugia student told the Perugia court that he had seen Guede at a local disco in the early morning hours of Nov. 3, after Kercher's murder. Pietro Camplongo said Guede was dancing alone, and that people were keeping their distance from him, because he smelled "as if he hadn't washed."
Finally, Riccaro Luciani, one of the students who lived in the apartment below Knox and Kercher, said that the relationship between his roommate, Giacomo Silenzi, and Kercher was "simple and had just begun."
The trial continues Saturday, with friends of Sollecito expected to testify for him.
