these two things constituting so far as I know the entirety of the physical “evidence” against the couple
I’d like to know your reaction to this argument. There is some other evidence against the “lone wolf” theory and pointing more towards Amanda, specifically that Meredith’s bra was removed and the scene rearranged after her death (and not by Rudy), the bloody footprints that match Amanda, and the witness placing all three of them together near the house around the time of Meredith’s death.
Why not by Guede? There is no evidence of him leaving right away only supposition. He was next seen at 2AM in a Disco. He is a known burglar and his bloody fingerprints are on Meredith’s purse and also he had expressed interest in Meredith to other people prior to that night. He was there for money and also for sex if he could get it. It is perfectly consistent with what is know that he could have stayed and carried out his probable 2nd intention… having sex with her… something he could only accomplish after she died. After a clean up of the mess left when a recently deceased person relaxes certain muscles and voids waste which took long enough for blood to dry and certain marks to become fixed on the body. He may have gone to the other toilet during this time. After a while he returned to her the bra strap was cut and her body rearranged to facilitate sex. He wore condoms and left internal DNA traces either from his fingers or from the outer surface of the condom from when he handled it… After that he did a quick clean of himself and the bathroom.… it is interesting that the people who saw him at the disco later stated that he STANK.
There are no bloody footprints that match Amanda’s. None. No blood found on alleged footprints in the hall therefore not linked to the murder. The shoeprint in the bedroom originally thought to match her shoe size were on cloth that had a crease that made the print appear shorter and it later was found to be consistent with the distinctive shoes that Guede wore. The bloody print on the bathmat has toe and arch characteristics that are again consistent with Guede’s and not the others.
Besides the original coroner’s conclusion was that there was only one attacker. He was fired from the case and replaced by a new coroner who had a new finding more in agreement with Mignini’s theory of a group attack.

Does this kind of evidence have anywhere near 30 bits of inferential power?
To me, it seems more like on approximately the same order as psychological evidence.
Have you read the counterarguments from “Friends of Amanda”?
I looked at that site but I didn’t see specific counterarguments addressing that point.
