The only place I differ from you is the cartwheel part. This behavior strikes me as genuinely insensitive and disrespectful but being disrespectful and insensitive doesn’t make one a murderer.
I’d like to believe that the prosecution has a case but for the life of me, I can’t see one.
One thing that struck me as weird is that Kercher’s family was ‘pleased’ with the verdict—do they really think that Knox and Sollecito took part in the murder? Why do they think that way? I’d like to know. Surely, the Kercher family must be reasonable people—so why are they pleased with the verdict?
The horrifying prospect is: do they know something I don’t? If so, I must search for it and learn it… :-(
Why look for rationality in the desires of a typical bereaved family? Surely if they had their way, anyone associated with the event at all would be punished, so great is their loss.
She told him she could go even more and showed him. He asked why she was so good at stretching and she explained she had been doing gymnastic when she was younger. So he asked her if she could do the other things, the cartwheel, the split, the bridge and she showed him.
Thanks for your summary.

In response to the cartwheel part—here’s a possible explanation. It’s from a pretty clearly biased source, but it does sound reasonable. http://perugia-shock.blogspot.com/2009/03/amanda-knox-finally-admits.html
At the very least I doubt she was leaping around exuberantly and spontaenously.
