BOISE -- A key component of the appeal process that set Amanda Knox free began at Boise State University.

Dr. Greg Hampikian, professor of forensic biology and director of the Idaho Innocence Project, played a key role in the analysis of the DNA that was at the center of Knox's appeal. After his team reviewed the DNA evidence Italian prosecutors used to convict Amanda Knox, he came to the conclusion that Knox was innocent.

"The DNA evidence was so clear to me that one man did this, Rudy Guede," said Hampikian. "All of the evidence pointed to him it was so obvious. Everything in that room that had to do with the murder had his DNA on it."

Hampikian said by chance he began looking at the DNA evidence in the Amanda Knox case two-and-a-half years ago.
