Amanda Knox found guilty.

It was inevitable that the ugly Italy bashing would start up on this thread. Rather than engaging in that, why don't you call Disney and tell them its cruise line should boycott that country?



:rolleyes: Ahem, we already know that - she is now down to her one last appeal. And the experts aren't optimistic she will succeed in getting a reversal there.

Not so the judge has broken the rules he said that he be
Believed if she had been at work the murder would not have happened he went into the trial feeling she was guilty and listening to the views of people in the press he broke their rules she has a real chance
 
Yeah and actually those pictures of her are really tame compared to most other college kids pics I've seen!

Certainly, for people whose vision of college is Animal House ;)

Wow, they are just pictures of some fun times. :confused3 And as for bringing grades and Animal House into the picture -- I really don't know why people think it's impossible to go out, have fun, drink, even to excess, stay out really late, do things you might even regret and still get good grades. It is.

Life isn't A or B for a lot of people. :goodvibes
 
I think for many people it's the fact that "it could be me".

Yes, empathy and compassion for the fact that there is a very good chance she is innocent. And if she is, it could be any of us, and any of our loved ones, in this situation. And even if we are the family/parents of the deceased - of Meredith - as well. It could be us mourning and having to live through a possible jailing of innocent people as well.

I hate that Amanda Knox accused an innocent man, the bar owner. I do think she is a different kind of girl, very unemotional. But none of us are the same. And different doesn't mean killer.
 

Yes. There are and have never been any miscarriages of justice in the US. No one has been wrongfully imprisoned and certainly no one has been wrongfully put to death.


For the record, during a human rights course I took in college we had a man come to speak to us who had been on death row in Texas for nearly a decade. Turns out he was innocent, and incredibly lucky to get out rather than being killed.

And so many of these men come out without rage. I don't know how they do it, quite honestly. :sad2:

It's so very uncomfortable to even think about it. :headache:
 
The Italian Police must have some sort of evidence proving their guilt but it is not admissible in court (i.e. taped conversations) and if so, then they are looking for Raffaele to turn on Amanda.
 
The bolded is not true.

That is correct, and the errors extend much further into the mantra of the "she can't be guilty" crowd. Note they almost always predictably go down the "CSI" path, citing generalized "issues" with certain evidence, but avoid all the other holes and contradictions in the defense argument. Here are just a few:

1. Why did Amanda put herself at the crime scene & later recant her testimony?

2. Why did Amanda say that her boss Patrick was there and had sex with Meredith Kurcher and killed her while she (Amanda) was in the kitchen with her hands over her ears?

3. Why did Amanda's later retract her story and say she was at her boyfriend's house, all night and couldn't have been at the crime scene. Why did her boyfriend did not corroborate her story? Why did her boyfriend say to police that Amanda had asked him to lie about her being at his apartment all night?

4. Why did Amanda admit to stepping over blood on the shower mat, taking a shower and stepping over it again, still no calls to police?

5. Why did Amanda say that she didn't worry about Meredith's door being locked because it was always locked after she had seen the blood and after she said she thought there had been a robbery?

6. Why did Amanda recant that story about not being alarmed about Meredith and later say, in fact, she was alarmed and pounded on the door and went outside on the terrace to see if she could see Meredith?

7. Why did Amanda say she was sure it was a robbery because a window was broken? Later the window was deemed too high for anyone to scale and was conclusively discovered to have been be broken from the inside, not the outside.

8. Why, in a memo to police, did Amanda attempt to implicate her boyfriend whom she said she was with all night at his apartment?

9. Why was there a knife found at the boyfriend's apartment with the victim's blood on it as well as Amanda's DNA? No, it the latter has never been definitively refuted.

10. Why was Meredith's bra strap clasp found with boyfriend's DNA at the crime scene? Ditto the note above - never definitively refuted.

11. How do you account for Amanda's odd antics at the police station? Doing cartwheels in the lobby and saying to the police that Meredith had "xxxx-ng bled to death"?

12. How do you account for Goede, who was convicted, and his testimony saying Amanda was there and was involved with the murder? He had made no deal with police.
 
The Italian Police must have some sort of evidence proving their guilt but it is not admissible in court (i.e. taped conversations) and if so, then they are looking for Raffaele to turn on Amanda.

They do have evidence which was presented in court. That doesn't fit with this story of the poor naive little American girl being wrongly accused so the media doesn't report it.

It's more than just she behaved oddly or did cartwheels. Even the idea that there is no dna evidence of her at the crime scene is really untrue. There is no dna of Knox's in the bedroom but there were several places throughout the house which were part of the crime where her dna and Meredith's (definitively blood in some places) were found mixed.
