Irrelevant, see also Meredith Kircher. The whole thing has dragged on so long that the victim's decease is the least important part of the case. When you hear her family talk now they just say over and over again that they want it to be done, to have closure - whoever it is that ends up jail they're never going to know everything for sure.
(not that Knox is guilty, but it's certainly true that we all hope that she is and that she also gets away with it)
Putting people in jail is for making people safer through having less people who we believe are likely to do bad things again around in situations where they're able to, or tempted to, or co-erced into doing bad things around the general public; and through trying to work out why people do bad things and whether they can be rehabilitated and placed into situations where they probably won't do bad things. Surely it's about not making people who we have determined most probably did bad things sad and angry?
Don't pretend justice is a real thing.
