Knox testified she always deleted incoming text messages on her phone after she read them, but she kept the last text she received from Meredith on Halloween & showed it to police on 6 Nov 07. Why did she keep this text message?

The source for this information is Candace Dempsey's book "Murder in Italy" page 143. Police had asked her to read her text messages to them. "The first one was heartbreaking under the circumstances, the sweetly worded text from Meredith on Halloween, signed with an âx,â a kiss." (Dempsey p. 143) As to why Knox had deleted the text from Lumumba cancelling her work shift, Dempsey offers this: "Amanda shook her head. She deleted all her received messages, she explained later, keeping only those that she sent." (Dempsey p.143) The source for this was likely Knox's trial testimony, where she said: PACELLI: How did you come to decide to delete Patrick's message? AK: I had a limited amount of space in my phone, and whenever I received a message that I didn't need to remember something for, I deleted them. So, what was it about the last text from Meredith, that made Knox decide to keep it?

Answer:
, Thanks for asking why Amanda Knox did not delete the final text message from her British roommate Meredith Kercher (see above, dressed for Halloween), murdered in the house they shared in Perugia, Italy. And thanks for referring to my book, http://www.us.penguingroup.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9780425230831,00.html. Background: Meredith and Amanda had exchanged texts on Halloween night, sorting out each other's party plans. Merdith was stabbed to death the next night in the house she shared with Knox. Amanda testified that she spent that night with her boyfriend at his flat. Maybe Amanda treasured the last message from her friend, Meredith, who was a beautiful, witty, smart young woman. My sister died and I have kept her phone messages. It's not much, but all we have of her voice. A nice reminder. What's interesting is that Meredith signed the text with an "x" (kiss) indicating that she and Amanda had a good relationship (despite the prosecution's many attempts to show the opposite) up until the very end. This is why Amanda's lawyers brought the text message to court. See p. 16 of Murder In Italy to read about Meredith's sweet text and p. 143 to read how Amanda broke down under interrogation when detectives questioned her about it. It marked, as noted in my book, "the possibility to go out together, an occasion that will never occur." It is heart-breaking. Here's an interesting discussion on what texts Amanda did/did not delete. http://www.groundreport.com/Opinion/AMANDA-KNOX-and-the-deleted-SMS/2951407
