Guede case

The Guede case involves Raffaele Sollecito and Amanda Knox, who were accused of murder in Italy, but the focus is on Rudy Guede, an Ivory Coast native. Guede was convicted of murdering British student Meredith Kercher in 2007. He was found at the crime scene and sentenced to 16 years in prison, later reduced to 16 years on appeal. Guede's involvement was independent of Knox and Sollecito, and his DNA was found at the scene. The case gained international attention due to the complex legal proceedings and media coverage surrounding Knox and Sollecito's wrongful convictions, which were eventually overturned.
