Amanda Knox was released from prison because the judges on the appeal panel concluded that the evidence presented against her did not support her conviction and that she was most likely innocent.

Note that Rudy Guede, an Ivory Coast native raised in Perugia, was convicted in October 2008 of having sexually assaulted and murdered Kercher, and was sentenced to 30 years, reduced on appeal to 16 years in December 2009. DNA matching Guede's was found both on and inside Kercher's body, and on her shirt, bra and handbag. A bloody handprint found on a pillow under Kercher's back was also matched to Guede.

There was no forensic evidence indicating that Knox was in the bedroom in which Kercher was murdered. In fact, an independent analysis found that DNA samples taken at the crime scene all pointed to Guede, and excluded Knox and her boyfriend Sollecito.
