They found the murder weapon with her, her boyfriend's, and the victim's DNA on it, as well as bleach that was used in an apparent attempt to clean it. There were at least 5 different instances of Knox's blood co-mingled with the victim's in the apartment.

Actually, both sides agree that they did not find the exact murder weapon. They found a knife "similar" to the type used to kill the victim which had Knox's DNA and DNA that was "similar" to that of Kerscher. There was not enough DNA to make a definitive match to Kerscher. Yes, the knife had been cleaned, but there is no physical evidence that bleach was used. The investigators noted that the apartment smelled of bleach, but that is different than having physical evidence that bleach was used to clean the knife.

I don't think they found co-mingled blood, but rather Kercher's blood co-mingled with Knox's DNA. If two people live together, both of their DNA is going to be all over the place, so i don't find this surprising at all.

i cant' watch youtube at work, so i'm not sure what the videos say. i'd agree there was a lot of physical evidence, but what that physical evidence proves (or doesn't prove) is highly debateable.
