Amanda Knox Is Innocent

what were they meant to do? They said nothing about the guilt or innocence of Knox & Sollecito, but welcomed the convictions. Not exactly unsurprising.

As for their supposedly helping the (one and only? Not what the court has found up until now) murderer get his sentence halved... Firstly, he hasn't had his sentence halved, that is simply untrue. Secondly, they played absolutely no role on his sentence reduction - that came about SOLELY due to the fact that, upon conviction, Knox & Sollecito got lower sentences than he did. His sentence was then lowered to be the same as theirs, with further reduction because he had taken a fast track guilty plea.

What a crock of shit.
 
What a crock of shit.
Great response Joe. But they are the facts. Facts you ignore. In (perhaps fairly) defending Knox (tho not a single mention of Sollecito in your posts, I wonder why?) you have simply quoted the rich American's case, without regard for whether it is true or not.

Guede has not had his sentence halved, nor did he change his story to get a reduction, the Kerchers made no intervention that got his sentence reduced. Those are, utterly indisputable, facts.
 
"Reasonable doubt dosen't always equate innocence." Gee. How magnanimous. In similar miscarriage of justice cases it is usually followed by the equally feeble minded "Well somebody did it?" But in this case we already know.

Yes they've already got the darkie so case closed eh? Nobody else involved...

As for the clutching at straws slander conviction - it was pointed out years ago that she fingered the bar owner because the police discovered DNA suggesting a black man was involved; went through her phone, found a recent text exchange between them and figured out it was a planned assignation. Knox was then coerced by them to make a statement against him.

Yes Foxy Knoxy can do no wrong in Joe's eyes. So you're happy to go along with the overturned conviction and how wonderful Italian justice is, but damn it to hell when it upholds your beloved Amanda's conviction for slander. You wouldn't be a massive hypocrite would you, Joe?

Luckily for all concerned he had a cast iron alibi. Otherwise he could have ended up in the slammer as well. In time, she will I suspect appeal this conviction too.

I doubt she will.


As for the Kerchers, they went along with the grotesque prosecution carnival that saw two entirely innocent people jailed for a total of 8 years for a crime in which they had no involvement. Now instead of bemoaning the final verdict that might reflect on the role they themselves played, perhaps unwittingly, in allowing the actual murderer to have his sentence halved on appeal?
I don't recall any outcry from them or anyone else when that happened.

'They went along with the carnival' yeah because trying to find out who murdered your daughter is a real fucking carnival isn't it? I guess they were 'guilters' bent on ruining the life of your beloved Amanda... and that other bloke. The notion they somehow played a role in getting two people convicted/overturned/convicted and overturned again is pretty grotesque in itself. Don't worry about Amanda, Joe she may have spent 4 years in prison (1 of which was unwarranted) but she'll make a few million off books, films etc. I'd do a year in a foreign nick for a few million.

His sentence was reduced on appeal from 30 to 24. Then a third off. Which brought it down to 16. He did change his story. Many times. Implicating Knox along the way. He has already been on work release. Where is the hue and cry?

His 30 years was only 20, because of the fast track. The reduction was to make it the same as Knox & Sollecito's. He's on work release because that is what happens after you've served the relevant part of your sentence - which is as it should be. he changed his story no more than Knox did.
 
Knox is appealing what? She got her sentence for "calunnia" and was lucky it was so light in the circumstances, she should have got 12 years for trying to frame up the Congolese man.

Just like when the American pilot killed those cable car passengers Italian justice as usual rolls over for the US. Camp Darby stuffed full of nuclear warheads, Comiso with Cruise missiles, atomic mines built into the Italian north east back in the day... The list is never ending, the influence remains plain evil.

Leaving aside that your wrong on some details on the Guede sentencing in much the same way as you've been wrong on everything else from the very beginning Knox and Sollecitto ended up with a combined total of 53 and half years. 28 and half and 25 respectively. How does a 16 year sentence make it the 'same as Knox and Solleccitto'. He also implicated, Knox belatedly, in another obvious quid pro quo. Something she never did.

So the guy that had no choice but to plead guilty to the grisly murder due to weight of evidence is already out and about a year before the other two who had nothing to do with it, are acquitted "which is as it should be" according to you. How fucked up is that? Where is the concern for 'poor Meredith'? Where are the protests from the Kerchers?

His lower sentence was due to him getting a third off for the fast track, as stated repeatedly.

And he isn't 'out,' he is eligible for day release. He certainly wasn't 'out' a year ago, as you've just claimed. Stop making shit up, and stop wanking over Amanda Knox.

Of all the miscarriage of justices in the world, funny how sad, middle aged, men are most concerned about this one, eh?

It is entirely consistent in the twisted narrative of the 'guilters' that those who correctly stood against a blindingly obvious miscarriage of justice who are dismissed as sexually motivated oddballs, by a bunch fanatics who wanted to see Knox and boyfriend metaphorically hung, for something they patently didn't do.
And maybe not only metaphorically.


Simple arithmetic this: a third off 30 years would leave him with 20 years. Not 16.

Ironically the basis for her appeal is contained in the link you supplied. She didn't walk into a cop shop and falsely accusse 'the Congolese man'. He was offered up to her by the plod during interrogation. Moreover she didn't say he was there when she knew he was innocent. As she wasn't there, he might well have been, for all she knew. After all the police were convinced they had their man. Who was she to argue in the circumstances.

Are you actually this stupid, or being deliberately dishonest? I said repeatedly, that he got a third off his original sentence of thirty years, to take it down to twenty, and then, after Sollecito (remember him?) and Knox's conviction, it was further reduced to equal there's LESS time off for the fast track. It really is very, very, simple. unless you choose not to understand.

Who was she to argue in the circumstances.
Jesus.

Sexually motivated? No. Weirdly obsessed to the point of being wilfully blind to what people are actually saying to you? Weirdly only focussing on one person in the whole episode who happens to be an attractive young woman and only mentioning the bloke when your weird obsession is pointed out? Insisting everyone who doesn't go along with everything you say is a 'guilter,' a word that perpetuates the whole grotesque carnival that you yourself hypocritically decry? Yes.

You've been on the wrong side of this from the start. And even now you are still struggling to adjust to reality. Throwing around, "weirdly obsessed" and "willfully blind" dosen't alter the fact that your instinct on this was entirely wrong. The arguments you repeated ad nauseam over the years were either completely irrelevant or utterly bogus. Your credibility on this issue is less than zero. And yet here you still are. Unable to let it go.

Eurgh, you're either completely and utterly dense or you're on a wind up. Judging by the inane, head up your arse witterings you've uttered on this thread Ifear it's the former. Arguments I repeated ad nauseum over the years? Do quote them won't you?

Given the whole circus was based around the evil scheming sexually motivated Knox, it really isn't anything out of the ordinary for progressives to select that as their battle ground.

For you to then suggest that there's a sexual motive for doing so proves you're as fucked up as both the prosecutors and the media.

Amusing that you took it to mean that I literally think Joe is entirely motivated by sexual attraction to Amanda Knox. God I love urban sometimes :D

Guede under sharp advice, opted for the fast track trial. It was held in secret. No reporters were present. Now Guede could have been given a full life sentence. This would then be reduced to a mere 30 years under the fast track system. But instead he was given 30 years straight off. This he appealed.
It was then reduced to 24 years on appeal to accord with that of his "accomplices" who had by then been sentenced.
He then got a further third off as a result of the fast track rules after that initial reduction.
That brought it down to 16 years.

In 2014 he made yet another appeal - for early release! It was rejected. For now.

Clearly he has been led to expect he will be back on the streets shortly. And why not? The Italian judicial system would appear to have bent over backwards to accommodate him.
And so he feels entitled.

The contrast with the rail-roading of the other two couldn't be clearer, the egregious extra 4 years added onto to Knox's sentence just one example. There is only one sensible conclusion to be drawn.

To misquote Kafka: 'Someone somewhere has been looking out for Mr Guede.'

As his trial was held in secret can only hazard a guess as to why.

(Not to be pedantic but in your "very very simple" version he benefits from the fast track rule not once but twice. Thought I'd mention it in passing.)

We could of course spin it that Joe's a patronising male chauvinist who feels that because Knox is a woman she needs protecting more, therefore exposing the depths that culturally entrenched gender roles are internalised in a patriarchal society and the Knox... and that other bloke's case shows how race, gender and class intersect in miscarriages of justice at the hands of a corrupt state judiciary.... or something.

Personally I'd rather stick to the fact that Joe's trying to misrepresent virtually everything that's been directed at him, trying to paint everyone who doesn't totally agree with him as 'guilters' and has indeed only focussed on Knox, for whatever reason. Any sexual references made were purely in jest, albeit crass jest but jest nonetheless.

Here you go again. Knox and SOLLECITO, remember that guy? Seriously it's weird you're only focussing on her. Why are you doing that? Only one of Knox's four years was egregious because her slander sentence was upheld. You're picking and choosing what parts of Italian justice are right and wrong based on your own personal tastes and you're only doing that for one person involved in this. Why?

No I didn't, you dishonet prat. It got recalculated when Knox and that fella got sentenced. Which is what I've said all along.

The rest of your post is just as much nonsense.

Because of what I said which you ignored you stupid cunt.
 
I'm pleased you use implied sexism in this way. Politics isn't a fucking joke.

Oh get off ya high horse. It's weird Joe's constantly focussing on Knox and only Knox, that's really all I'm saying. If you wanna pick on me for making a sexual reference call out beboid too for telling Joe to 'stop wanking over Amanda Knox.'
