For over 13 hours she steadfastly told them she and Rafael were at his place hanging out and watching a movie. The hard drive on his laptop that was seized would have corroborated her story, but it was mysteriously destroyed by the police. She took a lie detector test and passed, there's been no physical evidence. You are incredibly naive if you think that torture and endless hours of interrogation can't induce someone to say something they don't mean for the sole sake of it stopping.

She was not found guilty of libeling a police officer, her conviction of defamation of Patrick Lumumba was upheld. That was because the police forced her to point the finger at someone during her initial interrogation ordeal, it was then later discovered that Patrick has an airtight alibi.
I believe that people can make false confessions under police pressure, but it raises
questions that Knox wrote a letter to the cops days later where she "stood by"
her statement that Lumumba killed her roommate.

That letter was an opportunity for her to clean that up, but the letter reads like she
was trying to have it both ways : "blame Lumumba" but "claim it seems like a dream" to
have a back up excuse if the Lumumba claim falls apart.
