knox, who's in italy. mr. the prosecution cannot introduce new dna evidence against your daughter amanda, that's very good news for her, isn't it? >> well, actually, the circumstances are such that they cannot ask for another independent review of the dna evidence. the court already appointed its own independent experts and they came back with a result that was not favorable to the prosecution. so i think what they were trying somewhat of a desperate move today to say, we want another dna review so that it can hopefully come back to our benefit. >> the thing i can't wrap my mind around, though, if the dna evidence isn't credible, how did things get to this point? how -- why has this gone on so long? >> well, that's a question that i think a lot of people are going to be asking for some time to come. but when you take a look at the very first trial and the negative character assassination that amanda experienced and the media exposure and then from what we have heard associated to first trials here in italy, a

knox's lawyers insist their client is innocent. >> they have not brought anything new. there's been confirmed that there's a lack of evidence. >> reporter: today the prosecution attempted to persuade the judge and jury that the case is sound, even though dna evidence was declared unreliable by court-appointed forensic scientists. specifically the alleged murder weapon was found not to contain the victim's dna on the blade, as asserted by the prosecution. and a bloody bra clasp, allegedly containing the dna of knox's former boyfriend was considered too contaminated to test. the prosecution is so convinced its case will hold up, it asked the court to increase the sentence on knox and her former boyfriend to life in prison. that's 30 years behind bars here in italy. knox's father was not surprised by the prosecution's request for the maximum penalty, but still shocked. >> it's always a tough reaction when you have somebody ask for 30 years or life in prison for your daughter. >> reporter: the case continues next week with a verdict due by the beginning of next month. keith
