Amanda Knox guilty or not?

[X]

Italy ........ what a third world banana republic country.

The reason she got off was simply because the Italian police completely screwed up the forensics. They were putting evidence in paper bags and not protecting the chain of custody/evidence. Absolite amateurs.

On top of that, it is a country with one of the highest levels of corruption in the world, endemic tax dodging, a leader who is a worldwide joke and they are about to go bust after years of profligate spending of other people's money.

If anything like this had happened in, say, Sierra Leone or Columbia, it would be accompanied by worldwide derision and contempt ........

I just got through reading that the Italian Prosecutor plans to appeal the acquittal:

The prosecutor said he would appeal the decision releasing Knox and Italian Raffaele Sollecito, her co-defendant and one-time boyfriend.

"We will appeal," prosecutor Giuliano Mignini told Reuters. "The (higher) court will decide whether to confirm the first sentence or the second sentence."

So it's not over, I would bet however, that Knox ain't ever going back to Italy.

I find this quite unbelievable from the Daily Mail website. I understand them preparing 2 stories so they can upload it to the site as soon as the verdict was delivered, but come on. Look at those 'quotes'.

She was found guilty for blaming a completely innocent man and implicated him for the murder. She was out on a technicality and she did it with the other 2.

Yeah out on a technicality i agree. dna evidence was not strong enough blah blah, if she was innocent surely her dna wouldn't have been on the knife near the girls body at all. It frustrates me that she told so many lies and changed her story on different occasions while having evidence going against her and still get off with it.

I haven't heard much about the ivory coast guy who is still inside for it, he's obviously a killer but don't seem like he has tried to implicate knox and her bloke too severly that goes in her favour but i doubt he is given much opportunity to speak to the media.

it's merediths family i feel sorry for big time couldn't imagine what it like to go through what they been through but makes it even worse when the killer got away with it.

Yep. She blamed her boss at first and said he was the murderer, not only that but she changed her story a lot of times. Innocent people dont change their stories constantly.

Guilty as sin.

[imp]

Money can get anyone off.
Knox is as guilty as sin.
But they have the poor black guy to take the fall so this will all fade away and amanda will get very rich and the real killer.. a thing of the past.
Bring on 2012 and the end of this system of things

Desperate people may do, whether guilty or not.

The people who are saying she is guilty as sin though, based on what?

As I understand there is no evidence whatsoever linking her to the murder.

Her DNA was not found anywhere in the room where Meredith was killed, whereas Randy Guede's was found all over Meredith's body.

Meredith has been determined as a killer based on her contradictory reports as to what happened that night, blaming her boss, reported unusual behaviour and a the inconsistent alibi story.

As H says, that may have been desperation and fear rather than guilt. It's also worth noting she was only 19/20 at the time, didn't speak much Italian and the whole interview took place, supposedly under duress and in a foreign language.

I guess her story will come out in time.

IT's very similar to that poor backpacker girl whose husband/fiance was murdered when they were both kidnapped in the outback. For years she was regarded as being complicit as it was 'impossible' she could have escaped as she described.

Then in court, they handcuffed her from behind and asked her to demonstrate how she managed to escape. She just sat down on the floor and slid the cuffs under her legs and was able to run away. Took about 4 seconds....

The media print a lot of sensationalist crap and twist every innocent thing to be malevolent.
