Amanda Knox's parents are so confident she'll be acquitted that they've already made plans to get her out of the country as soon as a verdict is handed down.

Amanda Knox and her boyfriend staged a burglary in the apartment where they had just killed a British student in an attempt to sidetrack the investigation, prosecutors said Friday.

Rudy Guede, who was convicted of killing Meredith Kercher, is appealing his 30-year sentence and testified Wednesday that he heard the victim arguing with Amanda Knox minutes before the killing.

Witness testimony came to a close Saturday in the trial of Seattle student Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend for the 2007 murder of a young British woman in Italy. One expert testified that data was erased from a computer that could prove the boyfriend's innocence.

DNA evidence at the center of a murder trial in Italy of an American student accused of killing her roommate is unreliable, according to a forensic expert testifying for the defense Monday.

The murder trial of Seattle student Amanda Knox could stretch on for several more months under a scenario that's considered increasingly likely by observers of the trial. The trial, which resumes Monday, would be prolonged if the judge calls in an outside DNA expert.
