Closing arguments for Knox

Amanda Knox's lawyer argued yesterday there wasn't sufficient evidence to convict the US exchange student in the 2007 slaying of her British roommate, saying Knox had been swept up by a "tsunami" of events that led to her arrest.

In his closing arguments in the year-old trial, defense lawyer Carlo Dalla Vedova charged that key DNA evidence in the case cannot be attributed "beyond any doubt."
