Amanda Knox Is Innocent

[twentythreedom]

I doubt perception of her will change with this aquittal. The general "she's a wrong un" opinion will win over

It'll just add to her mystique. Strange mix of all-American good girl and vibrator-toting satanic sex murderer. She's gonna make fucking millions....

 

[Miss Caphat]

She spoke fluent italian...

no she didn't. She does now, as she's been studying the whole time she's been locked up.

 

[Citizen66]

One thing to reflect on, that has been insinuated by the defence to the contrary, is the complate lack of motive for the police to fit up a white middle class italian male with police and political connections thru his family, and a so called pretty white middle class american erasmus student for a murder that had already led to the arrest of an estranged black man.

Only it didn't happen in that order. Knox and Sollecito had already been charged before Rudy Guede entered the frame.

 

[Fedayn]

no she didn't. She does now, as she's been studying the whole time she's been locked up.

This has been debated, her Italian was rather good at the time.

sorry my mistake, thought that as soon as i posted

 

[Jon-of-arc]

Yeah, being picked out for no reason and being the subject of an attempt to frame for murder, no biggie... You twat.

Why am I a twat for wondering what sort of pressure Knox may have been under in interview? When did I say it was no biggie? I said people on murder charges sometimes say and do irrational things. Needless personal insult, you cunt.

You said "so is this really such a crime?". If it was such a crtime it would be a biggie would it not? And yes it is a rather big/serious crime trying to fit someone else up for murder when it wasn't true.... Rather an obvious one I would have thought.....

So if its such a big crime, what sentence should the prosecutor/police receive? That was really the question I was asking.

And I was also querying to what extent did she try to "fit him up" as I didn't actually know. Specifically, did she say "the landlord done it - I saw him kill her" or did she say "maybe it was the landlord? I saw him enter the house" which are two very different things.

 

[Deareg]

I think people are being a bit hard on her for throwing that fellas name in, plenty of others have done that in the past, even people who were hardened and used to dealing with the Police,

[belboid]

whatever the state of knox's italian at the time, the argument that the police practically forced her to say it was lumumba is totally unsupported nonsense

 

[Anudder Oik]

The crowd outside the court were angry and chanting "Vergonya", "Shame" on hearing the verdict.

The appeal concentrated on two points of the DNA ignoring the other 10,000 pages of evidence and was accompanied by a million dollar PR campaign and dumbed down reporting that left the kercher family feeling like shit and the victim all but forgotten.

Now we'll see the Knox book deal and the exclusives in the same dumbed down press that has supported her.

The appeal should go to the high court after this court presents its reports.

Fuck the jury system.

also, wasn't this the same interrogation session hey had to throw out because they had actually told her she should not have a lawyer present, as it 'would not help'

why?

As has been pointed out it's a lie to say the police tried to influence her. Yet more pr shite.

Why should the prosecutor/police receive a sentence? What were they tried for? Should they be tried?

I think a 5 year sentence is apt, given she has done 4 years I think, she should be released given she's been found not guilty. But yeah it's fucking serious, it can ruin peoples lives that sort of shite.... There's plenty of people whose lives have been ruined by such crimes.

Like the argument that they practically forced her to confess?

I really haven't been following the case, and in any case she was found guilty of fitting the guy up, so I'm not saying too much in her defence. I guess if anyone was in the mood to argue with the appeal verdict, they might offer the stress of a murder accusation as mitigation against an overly long sentence.

 

[goldenecitrone]

She'll probably write a book in ten years,"How I would have killed her if I'd been there".

 

[Fedayn]

I wish phildwyer would hurry up

He's still writing his love letter to her. Thrilled in the knowledge the Italian authorities won't be reading his weird fascination with her.....

 

[savoloysam]

Really feel for Meredith's family. Must be absolutely terrible for them. Unfortunately all the focus will be on Foxy and Raf, it's a shame there's not more focus on the correcting failures in the investigation.

It's all just a bit fucked up. They need to find the real murderer... fuck knows whether they did it or not, but I reckon there was reasonable doubt - so in that respect some form of justice has been served I guess. It's all a bit shit tbh.

Not just that but we'll never know why they lied and changed so many stories. There's still no doubt in my mind that they were part of something that happened that night and now they live to sell the tale. God bless the american dollar

 

[DotCommunist]

Fuck the jury system.

right or wrong verdict, it has to exist as a balance to the professionals in the judiciary lest they become even more of a state enforcement apparatus.

 

[Jon-of-arc]

Why should the prosecutor/police receive a sentence? What were they tried for? Should they be tried?

Well, with an innocent verdict, it follows that they tried to fit Knox up. Should they be tried? In a perfect world, yes, actually - getting people imprisoned for four years for murders they didn't commit ruins peoples lives. In this case, just the act of interviewing her for a crime she didn't commit has made a convicted criminal of her. In reality, I think a safe conviction would be impossible and if you start trying cops/prosecutors every time there's a not guilty verdict, you undermine the whole justice system, so clearly not practical.

 

[DJWrongspeed]

I think Meredith kerchers family have a right to be very angry at the incompetence of the Italian police. I'm fascinated by the continual lies of both Knox and Sollecito, I wonder if we will ever finds out why they repeatedly lied and contrasdicted each otehr and themselves time and time again. It is of course possible that they were innocent and simply and utterly out of their depth, it's also possible that their guilt was missed by the way the investigation was carried out.....

I think that sums it up pretty well. The mixed blood evidence is pretty damning and I think they've really been let off because the other evidence used to convict them isn't so water tight now. Whether innocent or guilty 'beyond reasonable doubt' is not now possible.

 

[DotCommunist]

She'll be turning cartwheels of joy. Again.

"We're thankful that Amanda's nightmare is over," she said.
"She has suffered for four years for a crime that she did not commit."
She went on to thank her sister's legal team.
"Not only did they defend her brilliantly, but they also loved her," she said.
"We are thankful for all the support we have received from all over the world - people who took the time to research the case and could see that Amanda and Raffaele were innocent.
"And last, we are thankful to the court for having the courage to look for the truth and to overturn this conviction."

This is the same system that "betrayed her".

Given the doubts in this case, I think taking it to the supreme court is a good idea. Effectively leaving the now 'not accussed' on parole pending a further trial.

As it stands, it's an absolute shambles.

No it doesn't follow, what a stupid remark. It simply means the jury didn't think it was proven beyond doubt, it does not mean that at all. Does it mean all the prosecution witnesses are guilty too? If in cases that there is evidence there was a conspiracy/fit up then yes, certainly there should be a rtrial of those who were involved.

Vergogna!!!
