Are you aware of the amount of evidence that is *usually* sufficient to convict in an unwitnessed murder case, in which the defendants don't have a sympathetic media and millions to spend on their defense? Typically there is: (1) Lack of a verifiable alibi--check. (2) Knew the other accused--check. (3) Inability to recall due to alcohol/drugs--check. (4) Gave conflicting and incriminating statements before finally settling on a single version of events--check. Those four, and nothing more, has sent many a man to death row in the US. The case against Knox and Sollecito includes all of that, and much, much more--including some pretty impressive footprint and DNA evidence. Read about it at PMF and TJMK.
