Curt Knox, father of student Amanda Knox, convicted on Dec. 10 in Perugia , Italy for the sexual assault and murder of her British room mate, Meredith Kercher, has given a full interview to the BBC, in which he says that no DNA evidence links his daughter to the murder.

The father of Amanda Knox, found guilty last week of killing Briton Meredith Kercher in Italy, has said his daughter is looking forward to the appeal.
In his first interview with a British broadcaster, he disputed the police interrogation process, during which he said his daughter's human rights were violated.

And he claimed there was not one bit of his daughter's DNA in the room where Miss Kercher was found.
