Raffaele Sollecito distances his appeal from case against Amanda Knox

[dipsydoodle]

The defence lawyer of Raffaele Sollecito, the ex-boyfriend of Amanda Knox who faces a 25-year prison sentence for the murder of Meredith Kercher, has urged Italy's supreme court not to automatically tar him with the same brush as his American co-defendant as the pair launch new appeals against their convictions.

At a press conference in Rome on Tuesday, the 30-year-old Italian unveiled his strategy for the appeal, which could see him and Knox definitively convicted of the British student's killing in 2007.

He insisted he was not changing his position towards the 27-year-old student from Seattle and that he and his family believed "to this day in the innocence of Amanda Marie Knox".

But - in what some read as a sign he is preparing to distance himself from his former lover after six-and-a-half years of rigidly joint defence - he claimed that his innocence was proved by the very elements which the Florence appeals court had used to convict them both.

1. Don't really blame him

Odd case, but I sure know I would not be taking a shower in a place with blood all over it...

2. There wasn't blood all over it that could be seen

with the naked eye (just specks of blood).

"The bathroom had been sprayed with a chemical that turns pink when it comes in contact with any protein. The bathroom that Amanda showered in, looked nothing like the photo that was released by the prosecutor. This was one of many leaks by the prosecution designed to turn the public against Amanda Knox. The video below shows the bathroom as Amanda saw it that morning."
