Video: Italian court reveals why it cleared Knox

>>> the italian appeals court that overturned the murder conviction of amanda knox is explaining its ruling in a newly released report. stephanie gosk has details on that. good morning to you.

>> good morning, matt. judge claudio helmand blows holes in nearly every aspect of the prosecution's case at time accusing the prosecutor of ridiculous conclusions based on little fact. the judge's report does in writing what his decision last october did in the courtroom, completely exonerates knox in the murder of meredith kercher . amanda knox was overcome with emotion when her guilty verdict and 26-year prison sentence were overturned. she had spent nearly four years in prison. ushered out of the courtroom, out of italy and finally home to seattle, as quickly as her family could get her there. in a report released thursday the italian judge offered a blistering critique of the prosecution. he says there was no evidence that knox and her former boyfriend, raffaele sollecito , murdered meredith kercher in 2007 . in a statement, knox 's parents write that the report confirms what they knew all along. "the prosecution's theory against her was only that, a theory that had no basis in fact."

>> one could not hope for a more clear statement rendered by an appellate court .

>> reporter: the pros kugs, the judge writes, could not prove that they were in the house at the time of the murder or that they even knew rudy guede , the third suspect who was found guilty of the crime. the judge continues, "the sudden choice of two young people , to commit evil for evil's sake, without any further reason, seems even more incomprehensible." the more than 140-page report repeatedly criticizes the prosecution, flimsy dna evidence , flawed by sloppy police work, no proof that the alleged murder weapon was ever in the house, knox 's interrogation statements were made under duress and she wasn't offered a lawyer. the judge writes "the obsessive interrogation by police went on for hours, both day and night on a young girl who at the time did not speak or understand italian." during the trial the prosecution accused both knox and sollecito of insensitive behavior, criticizing them for buying underwear and kissing in public. it was simple tenderness between two lovers and was also a way of relieving the climate of anxiety and fear that had enveloped them and not, the judge says, a reliable indication of guilt. what the judge doesn't do is provide a theory of what actually happened. the complete details of kercher's death still remain a mystery. the prosecution will appeal to italy's supreme court but only on the appellate process, not the evidence itself. knox and sollecito doesn't have to attend the hearings.

>> thank you very much. it's
