Amanda Knox guilty or not?

**generalbulldog** · 09-25-2011 08:34 AM

This comment in that thread hit the nail on the head. Americans just don't want foreign courts to prosecute their citizens.

I think there is a lot of evidence that points to her guilt. But I think a lot of people are uncomfortable with the idea that an attractive young american student could be inovlved in a horrible crime like this. If it's true, it makes us all look bad. Easier to blame the Italian courts of misconduct than to admit the strong possibility that Knox was involved in this murder.

I think people should ask themselves, is their opinion based on the reported facts, or is it based on the idea that they don't like a foreign court deciding the fate of an american? If the exact same event had taken place in Boston, would you feel the same way?

Sorry if you commit murder or any other heinous crime, your ass isn't above the law just because your country is a superpower.

She is American, good looking and it was a sex crime. She is guilty but will be released in a few years, make a film and go on playboy.

This isn't about the U.S. being a "superpower", just saying, the Italian prosecutors seem to have a flimsy and/or circumstantial, shot full of holes case against Knox. She may be guilty as hell, but it needs to be proven with conclusive evidence, and not half-assed accusations and/or legal guesses by the prosecution.

I don't know if she is guilty or not, but if she is going to get locked away for a long time I bet she'd let me plough her hairy furrow priot to incarceration. She is a foxy minx, but I would hide all my ice picks before doing her!

Update:

Knox leaves prison after murder conviction overturned

PERUGIA, Italy — Amanda Knox, the 24-year-old American found guilty in 2009 of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher, was a free woman after an appeals court jury on Monday acquitted her and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito.

Knox, 24, collapsed in tears as the jury's verdict was read.

The jury had two options to acquit: determining there wasn't enough evidence to uphold the conviction or that the pair simply didn't commit the crime. The jury determined the latter, clearing Knox and Sollecito completely.

After briefly returning to prison for a formal discharge, Knox was seen being driven away in a convoy. Rocco Girlanda, an Italian lawmaker who is close to the Knox family, said she planned to leave Italy on Tuesday.

Shit, now we will have another crappy Hollywood movie about innocent American sentenced in a foreign country...
I would so much prefer a deep, psychological movie about young, handsome psychopaths, planning and commiting sex-motivated murder, the story based in a lovely, quiet town.

Ain't that the truth, I figure Hugh Heffner will pay Knox 5 mil to pose nude for Playboy, and she'll make a ton of money doing documentaries and interviews, and of course the big money movie offers for her story. Shit man, who says crime doesn't pay?

haha I posted the same thought on facebook earlier today, so hope that happens.

Glad she was found innocent, hope that she really is.

Looking forward to googling for some hot pics when she starts partying again.

What do you wanna bet Amanda's having a few drinks tonight, after 4 fucking years in prison I know I would.

I believe she's headed back to the States tuesday, I think she's probably guilty, but the Italian prosecution had a horrible case, so I believe an acquittal on the appeal was the right thing to do. If she really was innocent like she claims, then this case was a travesty.
