As the trial nears its end, prosecutors closed by stating that they want American Amanda Knox and her boyfriend Rafael Sollecito to spend the rest of their lives in jail for their crime.  Knox and Sollecito are accused of killing British national Meredith Kercher, who was Knox’s roommate in Perugia, Italy.  Both women were in Italy for school.

A third defendant, Rudy Guede of the Ivory Coast, has already been found guilt and is serving a 30 year sentence.  Guede is appealing that decision.

The primary evidence against Knox is a knife found in boyfriend Sollecito’s home, which had Knox’s DNA on the handle and Kercher’s DNA on the blade.  Kercher was killed when her throat was slit.  Foxy Knoxy and boyfriend are facing charges of homicide, sexual violence and attempting to cover up the crime.

Knox maintains that on the night of the murder, she was at Sollecito’s home, where they were watching a movie, smoking pot all night long and having wild sex over and over.

The prosecution is still wrapping up its case, and following that, the defense will have its say, potentially next week.  The jury is scheduled to get their hands on the case sometime around December 4.

Foxy’s stepfather spoke on behalf of her daughter, claiming “she’s and innocent girl looking at having to spend a lifetime in prison.”  He was trying to explain away Foxy’s emotional breakdown in court.  Foxy Knoxy’s parents are looking on the bright side and have admitted that they have bought one way tickets from Italy to Washington state, in anticipation of Amanda’s return, sometime before Christmas.
