amounted to enough certainly to put raffaele sollecito, the former boyfriend of amanda knox, and amandaat the defense in winning their acquittal back in october in 2011 had focused on the problems, the shortcomings of the police investigation, but that the evident simply is there. so it appears that the supreme court agreed with the argument made by the prosecution, and that's, perhaps, why they ruled for a retrial. now we understand that the reasons, the motivations for the judge's decision will be public, in 90 days. after which, the defense and the prosecution have 45 days to make their arguments. so we are being told by legal experts that there may be a trial sometime early next year. >> all right. ben wedeman. thank you so much for that great interview with one of her attorneys. really giving us insight into how shocked and surprised she is by this turn of events. thanks. >> tough for both families to have to face this. the other big story that we're following for you this morning, a pivotal day in the battle over gay rights. and the definition of marriage. later this morning the u
