STRANGE MAGIC Knox
As far as alibis go, claiming you were smoking pot, shagging your boyfriend, and reading the latest Harry Potter in German instead of murdering your roommate sounds pretty reasonable. But for Amanda Knox, who has maintained her innocence in the murder of her flatmate, Meredith Kercher, it may not help to clear her name—at least not if police continue to find contradictory evidence that suggests she's being less than honest.
Though Knox has stuck to claims that she was at her boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito's apartment on the night of the murder, reading about Hogwarts, police have found the book in question at the residence Knox shared with Kercher, along with other DNA evidence that suggests she was at home that night.
