The parents of Meredith Kercher have a right to expect justice. They do not have a right to see their own preferred suspects behind bars, just because at some point an Italian police officer told them he thought they were guilty.

So, no, to that extent, they don't matter. This is not about them. This is about two innocent people who have been pursued to the point of victimisation by prosecutors who have been using the victim's flat mates as scapegoats for their own failures - aided and abetted by a bizarre Italian legal system that seems to have allowed an appeal against an acquittal without there having been any compelling new evidence at all.

Because the useless Italian police have now finally got to confront their own failings and start looking for the actual murderer, rather than continuing to try to scapegoat the victim's flat mates.
