THE lead prosecutor in Amanda Knox’s homicide trial has instructed how the pair turned mates — after bonding over a love of fantasy fiction books.
Giuliano Mignini was contacted by Knox — whom he jailed for 26 years over the 2007 dying of her flatmate, British scholar Meredith Kercher — as she wished to satisfy him.

Hoping to study the reality behind Meredith’s killing — of which Knox was cleared on attraction in 2015 — he agreed.
She flew in from Seattle and so they met at a church in Perugia, the Italian metropolis the place Meredith died.
Giuliano, 74, instructed The Solar on Sunday he was shocked on the go to.
He stated: “It’s by no means occurred that an individual whom I had requested for a life sentence behaved on this method.
“Normally, the accused sees me with hostility.”
On their shared love of fantasy books, he added: “We’re each followers of Tolkien books, like The Lord Of The Rings.”
However requested if he thought she was harmless, he replied: “Amanda is just not telling the reality.
“Not as a result of she is a liar, however she doesn’t keep in mind.”
